Re: DBD::Oracle/Windows2000 OK from prompt, not mod_perl?
I'm having a problem on Windows 2000 where DBD::Oracle works fine from perl on the command prompt but not from inside mod_perl. I think it is a problem loading DLLs but I can't figure out what's different running under mod_perl. I started making progress after taking Randy's suggestion and copying the DLLs into my Apache directory just to see what happened. The Oracle client was originally installed on a mapped network drive, once I moved it to my local drive and pointed ORACLE_HOME to that location it worked fine. Not sure why Apache would have trouble finding DLLs on a network drive but not on a local drive, but it works now so I'm happy. Thanks for the help guys! Larry

The machine is running: ActiveState perl 5.6.1 build 633 Apache 1.3.26 (prebuilt) mod_perl 1.27_01-dev (Randy Kobe's build) DBD-Oracle8 (ActiveState ppm) You can't just mix and match like that. Modules that you want to use under mod_perl have to be built against the same perl that mod_perl was built with. If there is a DBD::Oracle with Randy's distro, use it. Otherwise, you need to build DBD::Oracle with the same perl he used, or build mod_perl with ActiveState 633. - Perrin

Hi Perrin - I'm having a problem on Windows 2000 where DBD::Oracle works fine from perl on the command prompt but not from inside mod_perl. I think it is a problem loading DLLs but I can't figure out what's different running under mod_perl. The machine is running: ActiveState perl 5.6.1 build 633 Apache 1.3.26 (prebuilt) mod_perl 1.27_01-dev (Randy Kobe's build) DBD-Oracle8 (ActiveState ppm) You can't just mix and match like that.

Otherwise, you need to build DBD::Oracle with the same perl he used, or build mod_perl with ActiveState 633. Hmmm, I was hoping that was not the case - all my other mod_perl stuff works fine, including libapreq stuff and SOAP::Lite, but maybe just by coincidence... Hey Randy, do you happen to have a DBD-Oracle build? (Btw, Randy deserves major kudos for maintaining his stuff at theory5x.winnipeg.ca!) Thanks, Larry Leszczynski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
