Hi Matt, Thanks for the reply. Well, I can get connected via sqlplus and I can: desc activities... not sure what's up from the Django side. The user I'm connecting with has correct privileges; my Oracle person has triple-checked.
If I try to run a syncdb, I get the Oracle environment handle error, even though I've specified that in manage.py. I also have my Oracle home spec'd in my .bashrc and .bash_profile. I have no idea what to try next. ugh. b On Feb 20, 2:33 pm, Matt Boersma <m...@sprout.org> wrote: > Sorry, ignore my previous reply since you figured it out. > > It sounds like you have the tnsnames.ora and environment set up > correctly.
