Re: [PHP-DB] Php, Oracle on Mac, with strange behaviour
Hi Mark, you are right /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist will not work in your case, it's for the Mac OS X supplied Apache. In your case you can edit /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl adding the following: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instanceclient LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instanceclient ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instanceclient ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instanceclient export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME (note: As Chris Jones mentioned LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used on OS X, however there is no harm in having it set) Place the above some where near the top of apachectl, I cannot tell you exactly since fink will not install and MacPorts does not build SQLite3. Restart apache and you should see the correct values in getenv() or phpinfo(). regards grant On/El 16/03/09 12:13, Mark Halling-Brown wrote/escribió: Hi Grant, Thanks to your instructions, I am making a bit of progress. I have entered the PassEnv commands into the https.conf.: SetEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instanceclient SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instanceclient PassEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH It now seems that this variable is passed through correctly, but it is not as I set it. Instead it states: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/local/apache2/lib: I restart apache as root user (sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart) and it complains that: [Mon Mar 16 11:08:53 2009] [warn] PassEnv variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined So I am guessing that root has not picked up any of the environment variables that I have set in various places around my system. I have put DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/bashrc ~/.bash_profileetc, but I still seems root doesn't know about them. Have you any idea where I need to set these variables (Is there a root home directory I can edit a bash_profile or something?) I did edit the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist file, but the apache I am using was compiled from source, so I fear it wont work list that plist?

In my desperation, I declared those environment variables in as many places as I could think of. The script (Although I know I shouldnt), php.ini and also the apache httpd.conf file: SetEnv ORACLE_HOME /opt/oracle/instanceclient SetEnv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instanceclient SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/oracle/instanceclient SetEnv ORACLE_BASE /opt/oracle/instanceclient But given that it works on the command line, but not through the browser, I think that the environment variables must be set correctly. Did you restart apache after doing this? The env variables are set correctly for your user, but not apache's (which is the problem). Does the mac have an /etc/environment file? That should cover all users. Unfortunately not although with the stock/supplied Apache web server there is a plist file you can edit to add environment settings. Edit |/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist, adding the relevant environment variable key/value information:| "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> EnvironmentVariables DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH path goes here ORACLE_HOME path goes here ORACLE_BASE path goes here Label org.apache.httpd . . . Then you use PassEnv in Apache to pass these values through to PHP. The SetEnv directive in Apache is not the same as "setenv" or "export" in csh/bash/etc. Apache maintains its own symbol table for environment variables. Unless the OCI8 extension calls apache_getenv those declarations will have no effect. regards grant -- Grant Croker - Ingres PHP and Ruby maintainer http://blogs.planetingres.org/grant Generally, old media don't die.

Re: [PHP-DB] Migrate MySQL to Ingres
On 13/05/07 17:12, Jeffrey scribbled: We have a moderately complex PHP web app collecting data from a MySQL database. We've been offered a rather attractive proposition to build an Ingres version (ie. same app, but collects data from an Ingres database). Questions for experts like you: 1) Is this a reasonably straightforward migration in which we can largely replace mysql_query with ingres_query, etc, or will it be more complex than that? There are different functions provided by both the Ingres and MySQL interfaces. That and the parameter order of equivalent functions do not always match. 2) Does Ingres compare reasonably well with MySQL in terms of scalability and speed? Yes and then some - don't just take my word for it since I work for Ingres. If you wish to get the opinion of Ingres users go to comp.databases.ingres (http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.ingres/topics) or Ingres's own forums (http://community.ingres.com/) 3) Any dangers I should be aware of? none that I am aware of. I am trying to decide whether or not to go forward with this project. Your advice is much appreciated!

Not really, SQL Server uses a Windows Code page to store its characters and I guess MySQL server uses a DOS code page. ASCII chars they will be compatible but for extended characters there will be mis-matches. The "£" is one such mis-match, the "" will be another. I cannot remember what a DOS "£" looks like in Windows. You will have to search and replace all "ú" for "£" in your data load scripts. > Any ideas gang? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
