For developement reasons (oracle realted) I hadto abandone mod_php.tgz (php 4.0.5) package delivered with slackware 8.0 and use php 4.0.6 so I.m currently working with: php 4.0.6 and apache 1.3.20 ona a slackware 8.0 (with kernel 2.2.19).
At first I recompiled php 4.0.6 with exact same options of original package ( got oprions from phpinfo() ) and all went fine. I then decided to try adding oracle database support. I recompiled apache to be linked against libpthread (as told to do so from erlier bug report related to oracle & sybase) with not little effort since apache's configure does not ponder such action!: root@extensa:~# ldd /usr/sbin/httpd libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40020000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40042000) libdb.so.3 => /lib/libdb.so.3 (0x40070000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400c3000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x400c7000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400dd000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Had some trouble with "--with-mm=/usr" option which is enabled per default on mpd_php.tgz package for slackware while trying to start apache got this error: "/usr/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: mm_create" So I temporarely removed it to get oracle working. This ti what I did: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/ora/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib:/usr/lib:/lib export LD_RUN_LIBRARY_PATH=/ora/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib:/usr/lib:/lib make clean rm config.cache ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mod_charset --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-discard-path --with-con fig-file-path=/etc/apache --enable-safe-mode --with-openssl --enable-bcmath --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --enable-ctype --with-gdbm --enable-ftp --enable-gd-imgstrttf --with-gd=/usr/src/gd-1.8.2 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/src/gd-1.8.2 --with-png-dir --with-gmp --with-my sql=/usr --with-xml=shared --with-readline=/usr --enable-trans-sid --enable-shmop --enable-sockets --with-regex=php --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-yp --enable-memory-limit --with-tsrm-pthreads --enable-shared --disable-debug --with-zlib=/usr --with-ora cle=/opt/ora_syb/ora/app/oracle/product/8.0.5 this stage went successfully with no ATTENTION message & no errors produced in debug.log so I went ahead and compiled & installed: make /usr/sbin/apachectl stop make install root@extensa:~# ldd /usr/libexec/libphp4.so libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 libreadline.so.4 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 libhistory.so.4 => /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 libclntsh.so.1.0 => /opt/ora_syb/ora/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/lib/libclntsh.so.1.0 libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 libmysqlclient.so.10 => /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 libgmp.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgmp.so.3 libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 libbz2.so.1.0 => /lib/libbz2.so.1.0 libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 libssl.so.0 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.0 libcrypto.so.0 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 Apache restarted ok and php seamed to work ok but as I made a very simple function to start testing if I could query an oracle instance I ran into trouble: function oraconnect_test($a,$b) { $conn = Ora_Logon("system@orcl","manager"); $string = Ora_Error ($conn); print "$string"; ora_logoff ($conn); } Every time I run this function I get one more defunct httpd process a some warning messages from php: Warning: Oracle: Connection Failed: Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12154 in /home/httpd/html/cpr/functions.php on line 223 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid Oracle-Connection/Cursor resource in /home/httpd/html/cpr/functions.php on line 225 Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid Oracle-Connection resource in /home/httpd/html/cpr/functions.php on line 228 According to oracle ORA-12154 means: 12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve service name" // *Cause: The service name specified is not defined correctly in the // TNSNAMES.ORA file. // *Action: Make the following checks and correct the error: // - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper // place and accessible.
