When I see this problem, I automatically think, "Oh, the Oracle libs aren't
being located by the system." Edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add the value of
$ORACLE_home/lib (the directory that has libclntsh.so.8 in it)
e.g.
/usr/local/oracle/8.1.5/lib
the run /sbin/ldconfig to update Linux's idea of where things are, and stop
and start the server.
ALSO, ensure that ORACLE_HOME is explicitly provided to your perl stuff:
in httpd.conf
PerlPassEnv ORACLE_HOME
THIS CAN BITE YOU! If your httpd startup script doesn't have the oracle
environment loaded, you may have to fix that as well:
at the beginning of /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd:
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions <!-- original code -->
# Source Oracle environment <!-- you add these lines -->
ORAENV_ASK=NO
ORACLE_SID=stats
. /usr/local/bin/oraenv
# See how we were called. <!-- original code -->
case "$1" in
HTH!
