PHP 5.1.2,,,OCI8,,,ORA-12546

Hi there,
Thanks to Christopher Jones and his very well document " Installing PHP and the Oracle 10g Instant Client for Linux and Windows " http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_php_instant.html
I followed the steps mentioned in that article execpt I installed apache 2.2! not 1.3 but every thing went fine and I think I connected successfully to ORACLE database using oci_connect, but once I start my query it gives me the famouse error ORA-12546: permission denied..... despite with the same user and password I can connect successfully and execute the same query using ora_logon from another server. any help will be appreciated.....

Yeah this comes up all the time, permissions error.
As every case is the same, if you havent already done so, check your permissions, restart your machine and try again, if this doesn't work or you have already done this post again.

ORA-12546 When connecting without specifying sid in connect string

I am currently having a difficult time connecting to an Oracle 9.2.0.4 database running on Red Hat Linux.
I can successfully connect to this database with sqlplus as oracle whether a sid name is included in the connect string or not. I can also successfully connect to the instance through jdbc with jsp pages. However when I try to connect as root without specifying the sid I get an ORA-12546 TNS: Permission denied. I also receive this error when attempting to connect to the instance through php scripts. Note that root can connect through sqlplus with no problem as long as the sid is included in the connect string. Also note that the oracle user can connect either way.
I turned on tracing and found that this error is occurring before it even gets to the listener as no log or trace entries are generated when the error occurs.
Does anyone have any ideas?

did you set the parameter TWO_TASK ?

PHP4: connect to oracle with ORA-12546 error

I have install the PHP4 + apache 1.3.12 on redhat 6.2, by recompile the apache and php packages.
Fortunately, the apache can startup. But when I run the program as below:
PutEnv("ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/release");
PutEnv("ORACLE_SID=orcl");
$a=ocilogon("scott","tiger");
ocilogoff($a);
I get a error message:
Warning: ociopen_server: Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12546 in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ora.php on line 5
I checked the system very carefully, I can use "sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl" connect to the database, I can also use the SQLnavigator connect the database from other machine.
Could any kind people help me to solute this problem.
Thanks a lot.

Instantclient - oci8 - ORA-12154

I've read all the relevant threads in the forum and still I am receiving the same error:ORA-12154.
I am using instantclient (Downloaded from OTN) in Linux.
I use the /php/DB/oci8.php interface and the object DB_oci8() in order to connect.
while from the same file.php, where I am trying to connect, I display the environment vars and they seem OK, PHP cannot find the tnsnames.ora and eventually the database I call.
If I use the whole description copied from the tnsnames, then it is connected!
WHAT is wrong with that?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
J.Lagos

Whereabouts are you setting the Oracle environment variables? Setting them in the PHP script or in httpd.conf apparently doesn't work, you have to set them in the shell before apache is started.
You need ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, and possibly TNS_ADMIN if you're using a tnsnames.ora file.
We've recently had this problem, but setting the variables beforehand fixed it.
See the troubleshooting faq on PHP and Oracle for more info on this problem:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/htdocs/php_troubleshooting_faq.html
Hope it helps!

ORA-12546 error during installation of 9.2.0.1 on Windows 2003 Server

I have encountered an error whilst installing oracle 9.2.0.1 on a Windows 2003 Server. The error appears in the final part of the installation, when the Database Configuration Assistant is performing some work - it reaches the part where it creates the database instance - here we get the "ORA-12546: TNS Permission denied" error - this part of the installation is marked as failed - i can retry it as many times as i want but the same thing happens. If i finish the installation (even though the error has occurred) the oracle installation doesn't really work . I can't open the Database Configuration Assistant and don't really have a sysdba user. However all the services seem to be running fine (even the tns listener)
I was wondering whether it could be a problem that would be solved with the 9.2.0.3 patch - but this patch assumes that you have performed a proper working installation of 9.2.0.1, so I'm not quite convinced that the problem is related to the oracle version.
I've read other threads where the problem has been read/write privileges on some files and folders, but this shouldn't be an issue when I'm logged onto the machine as a local administrator.
The install.log files don't really provide any extra information.

I have exactly the same problem installing Oracle on a Windows Server 2003 X64 Enterprise Edition. I have Intel Xeon processors (EM64T).
I tried to install Oracle for 64 bits, but it didn't work. Now I'm trying to install 32 bits version of Oracle, and I get the same error and the same problem, mentioned above.
Can anyone help us, I can't figure out a way to solve it. I don't know if Oracle for 32 bits is not compatible with that version of Windows, even if it is supposed to be.
Thanks!!!!

Backup job failing with error ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied

I assume you installed Oracle as "Administrator" user. If so, make sure you are running the job from the same user. Optionally open "services.msc" and go to the "ORCL Service" or whatever it may and check "Log on" tab. It should be "logon as" value should be "Local system". If you are using a domain then give credentials accordingly. Make sure you are part of "DBA" group.
The ORA-12546 TNS:permission denied points to "Insufficient permissions to trace/log files" - check the trace/log destination is writable and requisite permissions are given.

ORA-12546 on Windows 2003

Hi,
I installed Oracle 10g on Windows 2003.

Any help is really appreciated.

I am receiving the same error. I get to in install phase where the Database Cinfoguration Assistant tries to run and I get ora-12546. I am running windows 2003 64 bit, but am installing oracle as a 32 bit since I do not have Itanium and oracle does not have a release for 64 bit xeon. Any suggestion would really help, this new server is replacing an outdated one.

(there is more before that!)
Any clues on what might be the cause of this? i have also attempted getting the latest PHP oci8 package from http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 but alas no luck.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to correct this? Thanks in advance!

11g ora-12546 : tns permission denied

I have oracle 11g - 11.1.0.7.0 on AIX 6.1
The problem i have is connecting to sqlplus
The oracle user can connect but other users outside of oracle or dba group cannot connect unless they go through the listener.
EG: user/password@database works fine,
but if i try just sqlplus user/password i have the error 12546 : tns permission denied.
I have chmod 777 the oracle bin directory and the sqlplus executable but still no joy,
any ideas anyone, dont seem to be able to find anyone else with the same problem.

"I have chmod 777 the oracle bin directory"
No, this is a big security hole. Only the user running the database should be in the DBA group, and should be able to modify files from the database ORACLE_HOME/bin.
If other users need to login to the unix server (bad idea) and connect to the database, then it is best to create a new group (e.g DEV instead of DBA) and install an Oracle client for them to use. They should connect to the database using TWO_TASK instead of ORACLE_SID.
