Hello,
I have test script that can connect to the oracle database. It doesn't require tnsnames.ora because I define the database alias in the script itself. It looks like this:
echo "TWO_TASK=".getenv("TWO_TASK")."<br>";
echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")."<br>";
echo "ORACLE_BASE=".getenv("ORACLE_BASE")."<BR>";
echo "ORACLE_HOME=".getenv("ORACLE_HOME")."<BR>";
echo "TNS_ADMIN=".getenv("TNS_ADMIN")."<BR>";
echo "NLS_LANG=".getenv("NLS_LANG").".<br>";# this allows a successful connection
$db = " (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =testdb.boo.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID = testdb)) )";
// these don't work.. php can't seem to find tnsnames.ora # $db = "testdb.boo.com"; //$db = "testdb.boo.com"; # $db = "testdb"; //echo $testdb;
$odbc = OCILogon("test/test","test",$db);
if ($odbc == false){
$msg = OCIError($odbc)."<BR>";
} else {
echo "success!!!<br>";
}My problem is is that when I try to use the database alias in tnsnames.ora I get an ora-12154 error. I get this despite the facts that oracle_home, tns_admin and everything else is defined in the script and the tnsnames.ora contains exactly the same alias as I use in the hardcoded version (see the uncommented $db above).
sqlnet.ora contains a value name_domain that apparently is appended to the alias in tnsnames.ora but accounting for this still doesn't let me connect to oracle . It's as if tnsnames.ora cannot be found. I've changed the permissions to 777 for the whole directory structure and I can successfully use tnsnames.ora with sqlplus or tnsping.
Does anybody have any ideas what is going wrong? Is this a bug?
thanks,
neil
