I installed a new intranet server a few days ago. My development server is on Windows2000 (notebook) and production is Linux (server). Everything works fine on my notebook but I have problems on my server. Sometimes there is an message "ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!" in my error log on server. Only this message! There is nothing about time and origin of that message! And I don't have any problems with the database - all pages are generated properly. Sometimes the browser doesn't get a response (IE is waiting for response endlessly and there's no log entry in the server log) but it's enough to reload the page or click again.
I don't have any idea where the error message comes from. Do you know how to fix it? What's the best place to define environment variables for httpd process? I've tried to define it in "startup.pl" which is the startup script defined in httpd.conf. I've tried to defined the variables in apachectl (and export them of course) which is used to start the server but without success. Well, the variables were used (I'm able to connect to the database) but the strange error message is still appearing. -- Petr Smejkal
