The file is there and it readable by everyone (along with the path to get there). Is there a way I can compile it statically? Because 95% of my scripts access the Oracle Database. I have put the so files in their proper places. I had a CGI that became a mod perl app and it was doing a chroot. As a CGI, chroot is fine. As an Apache::Registry script, it will cause these errors.

I think it can mean that an executable wouldn't run, or couldn't be found in the search paths currently in use by the app (and not that it wasn't there). You seem to have two files in this message, (Oracle.so and libclntsh.so.8.0). Have you checked both? There should have a symlink libclntsh.so pointing to libclntsh.so.8.0 I think. Have you checked that the paths are correct when this happens? Check especially LD_LIBRARY_PATH. HTH 73, Ged.
RE: Apache Oracle and Perl
When I start getting this error, I can shutdown the httpd server, and the machine and it will still give this error. If I wait a while(sometimes hours, sometimes days) it will come back. Sometimes it is a few hours. Sometimes it is days. I have installed Apache::DBI in hopes of a possible fix. The error I get is: Software error: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.8.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 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!
