Setup Env. Variables PHP or Apache.

Goodmorning everyone,
I'm trying to setup a connection to Oracle with PHP. I installed the Instant Client and added its path to the Environment Variables. Made the connection and it all seems to work perfect on my test computer. Now I want to setup the same stuff by a webhosting company. I have access to the PHP.ini file to enable the PHP_oci8 extension, and have put the Instant Client on the server as well. But I can't change the environment variables. So I tried adding putenv("PATH=./instantclient"); to my PHP file, but that doesn't seem to do the trick, any ideas?

LoadModule libphp4 /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
The weird thing is that this aint working for me, although it's correct
When I open a .php file with apache, he doesn't recognize its extension and my browser asks me to open or save it...
However when I deleted the .php in the url (localhost/info instead of localhost/info.php) he DID load the phpinfo page.
Now after al lot of testing that doesn't even work anymore (although I'm pretty sure that my config files are exactly the same as when that did work)
(and I'm using rc.d/httpd)
There are NO errors at all in my apache logs.

Env variable in Mac?

Hi guys, i wonder if there is the possibility to setup enviroment variable in Mac. I don´t know about it, i use Maya and in windows you need to setup one env var to have the documentation work. In a Mac if i click on Maya help nothing happen, seems like it can´t find the path. There´s anything i could do?
Thanks!

I don't know anything about Maya but environment variables for user processes are stored in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. you can use RCEnvironment plugin to create and edit that plist.

Hi Hunter,
this one worked great. this is really cool man.

i created a environment variable saying
"HTTP_HOME=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/http_1"
i need to go to $HTTP_HOME/Apaceh/Apache/bin"
and i give the command "./apachetcl start" for the http server to start running.
how can i make this apachectl variable to work so that form any directoy i should be able to give "apachectl start" comand and it runs.
Can u help me please.
i think if i do this also i can get some more understanding.
the command u gave worked great, but i did not understand the

Get CGI env variables in a database procedure using new APEX Listener

I already posted this question in the Apex Listener forum and still no replies after one week. The original post is here:
Get CGI environment from APEX Listener within database procedure
So please forgive me for posting in this forum as well, but there is a lot more activity here.
I'd like to know how I can get the CGI environment from the APEX Listener. For example, if I want to write a procedure that inserts into a table the originating IP Address of the client making the web request, how do I get it?
I am familiar with the Oracle Http Server and mod_plsql, and I know how to call OWA_UTIL.GET_CGI_ENV to get this sort of information. How do I do it using the APEX Listener?
In particular, how do I do this when calling a custom procedure (not in an Apex workspace)? When I try it now, I get an error from owa_util. The cgi env seems to be empty or not initiated (owa.num_cgi_vars is null or zero).
Specific set-up:
I have a web server running the latest JDK, Glassfish, and 1.1.4 Apex Listener. It connects to another server running the latest 11.2 database. Apex is installed and running, but I am not really developing a traditional Apex application in a workspace. I mainly use it like you would use mod_plsql. In other words, I have custom pl/sql packages that are called directly via URL. The requests are forwarded by the listener to the database, and the DB executes the procedure and returns output using htp.p to send text back to the browser. And it works just fine for this purpose. But if I want to call GET_CGI_ENV to get information like the IP Address, web browser making the request, etc. I can't seem to get it with the OWA packages.
Can anyone shed some light on this? If Apex Listener is not designed to do this, is there some kind of workaround I can use to forward this sort of information to the database for each request?

I have not tried owa_util.print_cgi_env from SQL Workshop yet, as I have not created an APEX workspace. I have had no need for a workspace because of the way I am using APEX as a method for calling custom packages and stored procedures. In other words, I am using APEX strictly for the mod_plsql functionality. I just use it to forward requests to the database to execute pl/sql code, but I don't develop anything in APEX. My application is a web service with no screens and no direct user interface, which is why I did not need to create APEX forms. The front end is a mobile app that makes calls to the web service.
But I have tried calling owa_util.print_cgi_env in one of my stored procedures and it returns no data, even when calling it from the web front-end.
So I am beginning to believe that if the OWA toolkit works with APEX, then it must only be enabled when invoked within a workspace. Stand-alone procedures can be called via APEX, but apparently doing so does not initiate the CGI env variables. This set-up used to work under the OHS with mod_plsql. The embedded pl/sql gateway also works this way.
Is there a procedure call that APEX is making to set the environment before each SQL Workshop request?
My security model currently blocks access to all packages and procedures except for my custom packages. I am using the APEX Listener configuration to allow only the packages listed by name in a white list. But I thought I allowed all access when I first tried calling the OWA packages. I'll have to try that again.

Do I need to set system env variables for weblogic and SOA server installation?

Hi All,
   I already have two weblogic application servers on my machine(that were installed by others).
I observed some environment variables were also set in System variables(ORACLE_HOME,WEB_SERVER_HOME etc) section in Env variables section(Start Menu---> Computer --> properties ---).But why do we need to have system environment variables wherein we already have those variables in files like setDomainEnv.bat or/and setSOADoaminEnv.bat for each server.
And one more thing system variables will be applicable for all servers(the whole machine) right.It may spoil the installation of new servers and present servers as variables should be unique to each server.
    I want to install weblogic and SOA server installation.
So Can I remove the existing system variables(as they will applicable for every server) and install weblogic and SOA server installation without setting up the environment variables?
Especially I have multiple Weblogic servers,In that case how it would be to have environment variables(JAVA_HOME,WL_HOME,ORACLE_HOME etc)?
Please guide me on this to installl SOA suite .
Thanks in advance

Dynamic ORACLE_HOME in env variable PATH not working

Hi,
We have an issue whereby we want the PATH to be dyanmic with respect to the ORACLE_HOME.
Have implemented the solution in 'ORA-12557: TNS:Protocol Adapter Not Loadable' While Running OUI [ID 735400.1 but not working.
We have Windows 2008 R2 server with Oracle 11.2.0.3 client installed.
First when did set to check environment varibales, fouND no env. variable for ORACLE_HOME even though in registry so have set ORACLE_HOME as user env variable.
Have changed system env variable PATH to have %ORACLE_HOME%\bin; at very start
when do PATH to check value shows
literally as %ORACLE_HOME%\bin at start rather than translating to the real physical location as it does with other logical variables.
How can we ensure translates the ORACLE_HOME correctly so PATH is O.K.

PHP and Apache, Bah Humbug

Setting up PHP and Apache, I was following this: http://developer.apple.com/mac/articles/internet/phpeasyway.html
I did the step to turn on "web sharing", and the "your computers website" link opened up the local page no problem. When I copy and pasted the content in "enabling PHP in apache" to terminal, I thought it worked... but now neither of the links work. Both say something like "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at....". Any ideas?

Safari says this:
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.1.100/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.1.100”.
I tried restarting apache with "sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart", but no luck, still get same messages in browsers.
The computer's site (not personal) DID work when I started following the tutorial, but I only got half way through. I believe it stopped working when I copy/pasted the part from the tutorial. Any ideas? Can I completely reboot the process somehow?

Problems with OMB+ (OWB 10.2.0.2 Windows client) - ORACLE_HOME env variable

Hi.
I am trying to use the OWB_DEMO files found on the website. The OWB client is installed on a Windows XP SP3 laptop; when I try to use the OMBINSTALL OWB_TARGET_USER, I'm getting this error:
ORACLE_HOME(or OWBCC_HOME for Clearcase) environment variable is not set up yet. Please set up first.
I can't understand why I'm getting this error, because in the batch file setowbenv.bat, called by the OMBPlus.bat, all the env variables are correctly set and then passed to the JVM through the -D option.
Could anyone help me to understand where is the problem, please?
Thanks.

This is bug 5853639, it is fixed in 10.2.0.3
As a workaround enter "set OWBCC_HOME=<YOUR OWB HOME>" in setowbenv.bat.

Robert

Setting NLS_LANG env variable for adcmctl.sh

How do set the NLS_LANG env variable specifically for adcmctl.sh? Currently it gets overridden by the NLS_DATE_LANG env variable. I'd like to set it to blank if possible.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately there is no way to change the session character set on the fly .
So you are pretty limited on what you can do ..
1. Start up multiple instances of the report server on your machine, one per langauge.
2. Try Oracle Report which support UTF8.

Enable PHP and apache!

Hello,
Is there a simple way to enable php and apache on my new imac? So I can test my website locally. Hopefully its not a lot of steps. I have seen a lot of tutorials by using google. But they involve terminal and I don't know that well to be able to mess with it. I don't want to ruin my computer. So any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kash_Money

And to answer your first question, "how can I use a .html extension page" see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5850167&#5850167
which is, however, for Tiger. On Leopard, the relevant file is /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and it turns out that /etc/apache2/other/php5.conf is even more relevant for exactly what you want.
Specifically, first read the first paragraph therein for why you should do something else instead. However, the hopefully not too crazy instructions (sorry, but the only way I know how uses the Terminal and emacs, so due to your Terminal-phobia I'll give detailed instructions and hope I'm not insulting you too much), will be for what you want, not for what I think you should do. The Terminal+emacs instructions are needed because /etc/ is a hidden directory owned by root, which makes it hard to use TextEdit to edit it.
So open a Terminal , and type
sudo emacs /etc/apache2/other
emacs is a text editor that works inside the Terminal, and which, for the uninitiated, has weird key bindings. You'll probably see something like
<pre style="background: #eee">
<IfModule php5_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</pre>
Press the down arrow key, ctrl-e, and type " .html". The file contents should now look like
<pre style="background: #eee">
<IfModule php5_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</pre>
Type ctrl-x ctrl-s to save, and then ctrl-x ctrl-c to exit.
Restart the web server, either by typing
sudo apachectl restart
or by going into System Preferences and unchecking, then checking web sharing.

Env variable confusion - newbie install

Hello,
I have completed the installation sequence for db 10g (10.2.0.1) on RHEL 4.3 (x86_64). I am somewhat confused by this installation procedure wrt env. variables such as ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE, etc.
The pre-installation guidelines are clear in saying that .bash_profile (in this case) for user 'oracle' should NOT set these variables prior to installation:
8. If the ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, or ORACLE_BASE environment variable is set
in the file, then remove the corresponding lines from the file. (Preinstallation Tasks 2-41)
User 'oracle's .bash_profile does not get updated during installation; subsequent login as 'oracle' shows that the env. variables are not set via other means. Is there a post-installation step I'm missing?
Thank you again,
Scott

oraenv uses the ORACLE_SID to set the ORACLE_HOME and PATH - including making sure the ORACLE_HOME/bin is unique in the PATH
But ... unless there is a database instance involved, ORACLE_SID is meaningless. It really does not have meaning until dbca is used to create a database, or the manual counterpart to dbca is invoked and oratab is updated.
I have found there is a Catch-22 related to the oratab/oraenv which seems to have caused oraenv to be undervalued.
However, due to the possibility of several ORACLE_HOMEs and several databases, since Oracle7 I have used the following sequence in my .profile
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin # if not already done
export ORAENV_ASK=NO
ORACLE_SID=orcl
. orenv
export ORAENV_ASK=
and then I am able to source /usr/local/bin/oraenv on demand to set te SID, HOME and PATH for any database.
It's so useful, I add entries for each ORACLE_HOME into the oratab, regardless of whether it represents a database or not. For example, I will have entries for GridAgent, OMS, and so on.
I can not explain why the oraenv is not better discussed in the documentation. It misses a major 'feature'.
