PHP5 OCI8 Oracle Client on MacOS X Leopard - Installation Script

Hello,
There is a new bash scripts for the installation and configuration of Apache2, PHP5, Oracle Client v10.2 and OCI8 on MacOS X running Leopard. The script was tested on Leopard 10.5.4. It should work with the pervious versions of Leopard but I doubt it will work on Tiger.
The script MacOracleViaPHP.sh will automate the whole setup. It can be found here http://www.danilovizzarro.it/script/MacOracleViaPHP.sh
In order to have it working it's required to download the oracle client basic, SDK, SqlPlus, Apache2, PHP5 and OCI8 in the /root directory.
A step-by-step tutorial + video demo can be found here http://www.danilovizzarro.it/?p=11

This could be the start of a great series!
In the intro, the in-video explanation text could say where the files come from and what they do.
Over half of the video consists of updating Ubuntu packages (e.g the kernel!) - this makes the video harder to follow and makes the installation seem harder than it really is. It also doesn't match the statement that the OS has been installed. If viewers think the install requires a lot of extra files and OS changes, you might frighten people from doing the install.
Setting the root password and not disabling it again is not the best example of security. Why not just "sudo gnome-terminal" or "sudo xterm" ?
For visual clarity, I'd suggest removing the window translucency.

Oracle Client 11g Release 2 silent installation.

Hi, I try to make a silent installation of oracle client 11g release 2 for windows 7 enterprise edition.
I'm familiar with the response file, and how to create this in earlyer versions.
But the "-record -destinationFile <filepath>" switch do not work, and when I run "setup -help" the -record switch is gone.
How do you create a response file with 11g release 2?
Best regards
Lansti

Hey Hans - We shouldn't have to read the manual each time a new installer comes out...why would there be a need to constantly redo how the installers works from a general standpoint (like -record)?? Stupid doesn't even begin to describe it.

Oracle Client and SqlPlus on Mac Os X Leopard Configuration Script

Hello,
I have just written 2 bash scripts for the installation and configuration of SqlPlus and the Oracle Client v10.2.
The first script MacSqlPlus.sh install the client set the environment variables, the second TNSconnectMac.sh help to configure the tnsnames.ora. They can be found here
http://www.danilovizzarro.it/script/MacSqlPlus.sh
http://www.danilovizzarro.it/script/TNSconnectMac.sh
In order to have them working it's required to download the oracle client basic lite and SqlPlus in the /var/root directory.
A step-by-step tutorial can be found here http://www.danilovizzarro.it/?p=10
Soon I will try to upload a demonstration video.
Your comments are always appreciated.

Doug,
It is possible that there could be data corruption, because this is not a tested, thus not supported, setup. I hope that helps!

Problem Installing Oracle Client 11g R2 64 bit on Windows 7 Enterprise 64

Hi,
I am having problems installing the Oracle Client 11g R2 64 bit installation on my Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise machine. The installer does all the checks successfully, it gets me to summary screen and I press finish to start the installation. It then opens the installation mask where it first says Checking whether Central Inventory is locked by another OUI session. After that it very briefly shows Central Inventory is not locked and then the window immediately dissapears with no other errors. I tried installing at my colleague's W7 Enterprise 64 machine and it behaves a little differently but with the same result. Basically on his machine it never even opens the Install mask, when pressing finish from the Summary it just disappears and never starts installation. I tried installing 11g R1 and that loads the first mask and when i press next it just dissapears. I basically need an oracle client 64 bit installation on my machine deperately. Please help. Thanks
Alex

One user above reported installing the 64 bit odbc drivers and then the 32 bit drivers. How did you do that? I'm a neophyte to this.
I'm trying to get a 32 bit ODBC oracle driver to work on a server 2008 R2 machine. I downloaded the 11gR2 x64 client from oracle. The install process makes no mention of 32bit vs 64bit installation. After running the instalation I can run the ODBC administrator and generate a DSN for oracle. When I run the 32 ODBC administrator there is no oracle driver available except the microsoft driver for oracle. When I select that it says that I need to install oracle.
I had at first tried to install 11g instant client. However that didn't work for the 2008 R2 machine. It complained about some registry error when I tried to run the ODBC install program. I need to get it to work for a customer asap.

Is there any re-distributable Oracle client

Hi,
I am development of project that need ODP.NET and Oracle client 9i to be installed with product installation on client machine.I am using Developer install shield 8.0 on windows installer for product installation.
Is there any oracle client redistributable available using windows installer 2.0 merge modules or msi product?
One way is to call setup.exe of oracle client from product intallation.I am looking for alternate solution.
Thanks,
Jevelson

I have been looking for something like this for a while, the alternate approach has been to create a response file and call the setup.exe using -silent and -response options

Which oracle client for aix 6 xi31 sp3?

I need oracle client 10.2 for a installation of xi31 sp3 on aix 6 with an oracle 11g db in order for ldap to work properly.
My apologies for my lack of DB (oracle) experience, however, can someone please tell me which file I need for this and the associated link to download it?

Hi,
   Please explain in more details what do you mean "which files"?
   If you mean getting the physical files, then :
      To download BOE XI 3.1 with SP3, you need to log onto the SAP Support Portal (aka: Service Market Place) - http://service.sap.com/
      The Oracle D/B and the Oracle client will need to come from Oracle website. You will need to check with Oracle to see how you can get your hands on the files.
      As for AIX 6.1, I assumed that should already been setup since you quoted that in your last note.

Any compatibility issues for Oracle Client 10.2.0.4.0 and Snow Leopard?

Now that Snow Leopard is out and in fact in my hands, are there any known compatibility issues relative to the Oracle client software that is available from:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
Thanks.
BTW, it might be worthwhile to know about the following web site:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
and for someone from Oracle to post an appropriate listing there as that site is becoming known as a central resource for such queries.
Marc

Guys,
I appreciate all of your replies, but:
1. Just to be clear, I am talking about running the CLIENT (SQL*Plus) on Snow Leopard, which will connect to Oracle 11g, which is running on RHEL 5. I don't care in the least as to whether or not Oracle 11g will run on Snow Leopard. Today, I run the CLIENT on Leopard from the CLI and can connect to 11g on RHEL 5 just fine. I use the Actual Technologies ODBC driver (http://www.actualtechnologies.com/product_oracle.php) for queries in other applications and I have a similar query regarding Snow Leopard compatibility into them.
2. @damorgan: Are you telling me that the client software that I can download from Oracle here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft.html
was written by Oracle and certified by Apple to run on Leopard (10.5)? I am curious, because today, it was Microsoft and not Apple that put forth the statement that Office 2008 is fine on Snow Leopard:
http://www.officeformac.com/blog/Ready-for-Snow-Leopard
Are you suggesting, as a parallel, that Apple did the certification of Office 2008 for Snow Leopard, not Microsoft? Or that Apple and not Cisco, will certify that Cisco's VPN client will work on Snow Leopard?
Thanks,
Marc

Php 5.1.2 doesn't seem to recognize the --with-oci8-instant-client option

I just tried configuring php 5.1.2 with the --with-oci8-instant-client option and could never get phpinfo() to show the oci8 section...
Finally went back and tried php 5.1.1 and it worked.
If anyone else could verify this behavior, maybe the PHP folks should be notified??

Discovered the issue:
the configure script changed the format of the config option
in php 5.1.1:
--with-oci8[=DIR] Include Oracle (OCI8) support using an ORACLE_HOME
install. The default DIR is ORACLE_HOME
--with-oci8-instant-client[=DIR]
Include Oracle (OCI8) support using
Oracle Instant Client. DIR is the directory with the
Instant Client libraries. On Linux it will default to
/usr/lib/oracle/<most_recent_version>/client/lib
Other platforms will need to have it explicitly specified
HOWEVER, in php 5.1.2:
--with-oci8[=DIR] Include Oracle (OCI8) support.
The default DIR is ORACLE_HOME.
Use --with-oci8=instantclient,/path/to/oic/lib
to use Oracle Instant Client installation
This explains why the --with-oci8-instant-client option is ignored. The new format is:
--with-oci8=instantclient,/path/to/libs

Display php page ok vs ko because of oracle client or cache or buffer size?

Hello everybody,
Excuse me for my english,
I searched every where but ...
linux ubuntu
php 4.4.6
apache 2.2.4
oracle client XE
VS
win xp
php 4.4.6
apache 2.2.4
oracle client 9i
same database 9i
a sql query :
- select statement cost 25
- execution time : 0,2 sec
- rows number : 4238
My problem : When I want display in an array all the résults in a web page with php, I always manage to display my page via win box
BUT on linux box the display depends :
1 - firsts times : on IE (impossible d'afficher la page) on ff (white page)
I tried to change my directive in php.ini and httpd.conf and try to display this page nothing better
2 - the more I tried to display the page, the more the query is execute (I log my php code, and it executs until the last line). After several tried, I manage to display my page. But if I execute other queries and come back to my page -> etape 1.
in my php code, I use successively :
OCIPLogon,OCIParse,ocisetprefetch(5000),OCIExecute
Is someone had the same problem?
Edited by: crazykangourou on Oct 24, 2008 1:08 AM : Indications on php code

Make sure to check the return code from each OCI call. If an error occurs, try to
resolve the problem.
The version of the OCI8 extension with PHP 4.4 is unstable. If possible, upgrade
at least OCI8. See the section "Installing PHP 4 on Linux" on the bottom of page 81
of the current version (1.4) The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual

Oracle client 32 bit version

Hello! I installed PHP+Apache on HP-UX IA. The one PHP extension module oci8.sl requires 32 bit version library of libclntsh.so.9.0. But on this site only 64 bit version of Oracle client 9.2.0 for HP IA64. Where I can find 32 bit version for IA?

MetaLink ..... ?

Could not start NetSupport Manager Client For MacOS X because the licence expired
"Could not start NetSupport Manager Client For MacOS X because the license file has expired."
I have a suspicion the above is a result of an old version of a program from a previous version of MACOS having been migrated, even from a PPC machine (PB17 to be exact).
My issue is how to fix it. What is the exact programme in error? What do i delete?
I have even upgraded to Leopard and the problem migrates to that(!) So clearly I have to manually sort this out. But how?
Many thanks

They should be able to tell you how to install their product, if the download doesn't contain an uninstaller (I'm not going to register with them just to find out).

Query works in Oracle Client but not JDBC

The query is as follows:
SELECT COUNT(*) THE_COUNT FROM sentorders WHERE ordersentdate BETWEEN '15-JAN-01' and '15-JAN-03';When I run this query in the Oracle client (SQL+) it tells me that THE_COUNT is 4 which is correct but when I use the following JDBC code I get THE_COUNT is 0 which is incorrect.
public ResultSet viewTotalSentOrdersByDate()
throws SQLException, Exception {
      String beginDate = "15-JAN-01";
      String endDate = "15-JAN-03";
      ResultSet rs = null;
    try {
      String queryString = ("SELECT COUNT(*) THE_COUNT FROM sentorders WHERE ordersentdate BETWEEN '" + beginDate + "' and '" + endDate + "'");
      System.out.println(queryString);
