Our web app needs to talk to oracle. All is well if the app runs on the db server. But at a client site and on our now on own network, if the app is on a different box, it can't get an oracle connection. It works fine on 2 boxes at other client sites.
A related item seems to be that since the change in our network (we just added a fire wall, the app itself has not changed), we have to change the Net8 configuration to use a service name instead of a sid. The web app makes a connection using a sid. (I've been looking for way to change our connection to use a service name with no luck so far.) We've had a similar problem when the app was outside the firewall, the db was behind it, and the firewall didn't allow high-ports through. But in the case of our client and our own case, both machines are behind the firewall. I currently have the webapp running on the db server, but the client is very unhappy with this and my boss wants me to seek what ever help is necessary to resolve this problem. If you think you can help, please reply privately with your rate, availability. I think everything can be done remotely, but it might mean a trip to the client on Monday if we can't work it out by then. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
