Instant Client on Linux Suse 9 + PHP + APache

Hello Everybody!
My task is to install Instant client on NowellSuse Linux 9 for futher connections from PHP.
For the beginning I downloaded and installed
http://download-uk.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/oracle-instantclient-basic-10.1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
http://download-uk.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/oracle-instantclient-jdbc-10.1.0.2-2.i386.rpm
http://download-uk.oracle.com/otn/linux/instantclient/oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-10.1.0.2-1.i386.rpm
Instalation was done using rpm -Uvh ... as in InstantClient guide was described.
Now I want to test if it was installed well.
To do this i created such env vars:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN
TNS file (tnsnames.ora) I created manually at dir etc/oracle/
Maybe this is the problem?
TO check instalation I run sqlplus user/pass@BASE and get errors:
1. wrong ADDRESS
2. that tns name not specified
I checked if tnsnames.ora is correct, everything was fine.
But I also noticed that in error log user was ROOT but not that I specified...
As my knowledge in Linux is very small, so I can think that I just did not do something neccesary. I read a lot of different discussions but not find reason.
Please help. Best regards.
null

Thanx!
Now sqlplus works but only when I connect using
sqlplus user/[email protected]/service
If I first run sqlplus than enter user, than password (on requests) the error that service name specified wrong appears...
tnsnames.ora is like this:
service=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOKOL=tcp)(HOST=10.10.10.1))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=service)))
path of TNS_ADMIN is set to /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.1/client/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
So is this error OK when connection is done in different way, or not?
Regards.

Failed to install php-oci8 with instant Client for linux 64

Hello,
I have a 64-bits Linux box with RHEL4, and PHP version has been upgraded from 4.3.9 to 5.1.6. I try to make the connection to remote oracle server.
I download instantclient-basic-linuxppc-10.2.0.2-20060327.zip , and follow the instruction to
install it.
But when i try to install php-oci8*.rpm, no matter which i use:
php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386.rpm or php-oci8-4.3.9-2.2.el4.i386.rpm
The installation always failed due to dependencies errors with oracle instant client.
I also tried with some other packages like: php-oci8-4.3.9-3.el4.x86_64.rpm
All my tries gave me dependency errors.
sometime like:
error: Failed dependencies:
libclntsh.so.10.1 is needed by php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386
oracle-instantclient = 10.2.0.3 is needed by
php-oci8-5.1.6-1.el5.i386And I cannt find the right RPM for oracle instant client for linux 64 bits box, and php-oci8 5.1.6 64 bits.
I have been trying on this problem for more than one week, and so frustrated. I will appreciate if I can be guide on this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Please help me to debug a bug for instant client on linux x86-64

I am a c junior programmer, I wrote a c demo based on <Call Interface Programmer's Guide>,but i found failed sometimes and successful somtimes when i run my demo on linux x86-64.
I wondered why it was failed sometimes and successful sometimes, so i used command strace to debug my demo.
I found my demo was failed when called function getsockopt whose third argument was negative. The following code:
getsockopt (5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [-8683868481690533888], [4]) = 0
my demo run successful when the third argument of function getsockopt was positive.The following code:
getsockopt(5, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [4636081913715490816], [4]) = 0
I downloaded rpm package of instant client for linux x86-32 and installed, the same demo worked perfectly on linux x86-32.
Did instant client for linux x86-64 has a bug?
any advise would be great.
Thank you!

thanks.
I have solved this problem that result in my c demo.
I was a wrong way to use this function OCIBindByName. I ignored it's Indicator Variables must be 0 , -1 or -2.

Compiling against the 10g Instant Client in Linux

Does anyone know if it's possible to compile and successfully link C++ programs that use the occi header against the 4 shared occi libraries that come with the 10g instant client.
I dug out the 30 or so header files that come with the full 10g Linux version and stuck them in the /usr/include directory. This allows compilation to get done. And it appears that I am able to link against the shared libraries. At least, after the link there is an executable. This executable seg faults immediately upon a run, so there is obviously something wrong.
The system administrator is trying to do a full install of 10g so we can compile against an Oracle home, but he's been at it for about a week with no results. He was able to get the Instant Client set up, so I'm looking for a workaround that uses only the IC and the headers.

Thanks for the feedback.
We aren't using a 3.xx version of gcc; it's some 2.9x version.
Are you saying that it should be possible to link up with the shared libs without a full client install? If it is, I'll keep plugging away; but I haven't found anyone anywhere who has at any time gotten it to work.

Missing sdk download for instant client for Linux

Hi,
I'm following Ubuntu community documentation here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PHPOracle to get started developing php/oracle applications.
My problem is that the sdk download is missing. It is in the list here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html but the link for it is missing. I don't see anything else looking like sdk or development files for instant client.
Can anyone tell me where the download is?
Thank you

Instant Client for Linux for SPARC 64?

I'm running Linux on SPARC64 and I would like to compile PHP with the OCI module... BUT I cannot.
I either run in to TLS problems (which get fixed with LD_PRELOAD=libclntsh.so ) or I run in to missing Sun libraries (as expected, but I found no ports) like libkstats.
Is it possible to do what I want to do? I have thought about using the PHP and JavaBridge, but that doesn't seem to mean I don't have to use OCI libraries (libclntsh and etc)... and may be a huge performance hit (two interpreted languages? UGH!)
Ideas?

just curious... which distro are you running on SPARC 64??? :)

Instant Client problem with php 5.1.4 install

Hello,
I'm trying to get my php 5.1.4 compiled using the oracle 10.2.0.1 instant client.
I configure the php install with the following ..

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I've got the same problem, running on redhat 7.3, using gcc 3.43, php 5.1.4, instant client 10.2, installed via unzipping the oracle instant clients and being run on apache 1.33. I didn't 'link to pthreads' as I'm not sure what you have to do in order to do this linking. I just run php's configure, make install and let it go and it dies.
Any help would be appreciated.

Help Using Instant Client ODBC on Linux

I am familiar with using ODBC and visual basic under Windows. I would like to use the Oracle instant client ODBC under Red Hat ES3 within a C or C++ program to access an Oracle database.
Where can I find documentation related to this:
a) setting up an ODBC connection on Linux
b) installing the Oracle instant client on Linux
c) building an application with Oracle instant client ODBC
Am I correct in assuming that any C/C++ ODBC code examples from windows could also be used on Linux.
Thanks,
Werner

We are also interested in the very same thing. We are using third party compiler called SIMSCRIPT from CACI which has a module called SDBC for database connectivity. SDBC requires ODBC to be installed/configured. Our application is for Linux, therefore we are interested in using the ODBC driver on Linux clients to connect Oracle database servers on Linux and Sparc. I see the odbc related zip (for 10g) and rpm (for 11g) instant client files on the OTN Instant Client download page. How to install/configure odbc instant client? Is there a document/whitepaper/Metalink Note ?
Thank you

Download old Instant Client Version 10.1.0.4 for Linux

Hi to all,
the downloads for version 10.1.0.4 of Oracle Instant Client
for linux seem to be not available anymore.
Where can I download the packages:
instantclient-basic-linux32-10.1.0.4-20050525.zip and
instantclient-sdk-linux32-10.1.0.4-20050525.zip ?
Thanks

for OWB metadata, run this following script
<OWB_HOME>/owb/reposasst/upg/upg10gTo10104.sql
For runtime data
<OWB_HOME>/owb/bin/unix/RT_upgrade_to_10_1
This is only if it's NOT upgrading to 10gR2 database
If you are upgrading to Oracle10g Release 2 with partial export and
import and if you are changing the database instance or the computer
hosting the database, then run the migration script:
For UNIX, navigate to OWB_HOME/owb/bin/unix and run
RT_migrate_to_10_1.sh.
The RT_migrate_to_10_1.sh prompts you for several parameters:
the User Name and Password of your original Runtime Repository
schema, the database connection string for your original Runtime
Repository (in the form of host:port:servicename), the User Name
and Password for your new Runtime Repository schema (whose values
should match the original Runtime Repository), and the database
connection string for the new Runtime Repository (also in the form of
host:port:servicename). Additionally, as it runs, the script prompts
you for SYS User Names and Passwords for the Oracle Database
instances for any Target Schemas and Oracle Workflows being upgraded.

Updated Instant Client 11.2 for Linux 64 bit is on OTN

The 11.2 Instant Client for Linux 64bit has been updated on http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/linuxx86_64soft.html
It is now at the same patch level as 32 bit.

I just tried to download these as RPMs. I was able to download the basic rpm but the sqlplus rpm and supplemental jdbc rpms failed. Instead of getting a prompt to save the file, content was displayed by the browser (binary content). It appears as is the mime type was not set correctly?

Make sure that you have only one Oracle Client on the client machine.
Delete/uninstall all others. Best uninstall all Oracle Software on that machine and reinstall one client.
Before you try to connect from a PHP script, try to connect with sqlplus. If that works, proceed.
The PHP you use must compiled and linked against the Oracle client version you use, else it won't work.
Now try again. If you still get the same errors, post the error messages and relevant parts of the PHP script.
Be aware that this forum is for Instant Client, so there might be better forums for PHP questions.
Yours,
Laurenz Albe
