DevOps, CI/CD and Automation

Hi peoples,

first post on here - hope someone can assist.

I am compiling PHP 5.2 on RedHat Enterprise 4 AS intel 64bit with oracle ORA and LDAP support compiled in. I am using Apache 2.0.52-28 installed from RedHat RPMs.

I am using the following configure line:

./configure with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf with-oracle=/export/oracle/pegasus/product/9.2.0 with-ldap=/usr enable-sigchild enable-libgcc

The only oracle related messages I have found during the configuration are:

checking for Oracle (OCI8) support... no
checking Oracle OCI support for PDO... no

However I am told these are newer methods of Oracle communication protocols and not related to what I am trying to achieve.

After building and installing PHP 5.2, reconfiguring apache httpd.conf and restarting httpd I find that the output of phpinfo.php shows no mention of oracle whatsoever apart from the Configure Command section at the beginning confirming that yes, --with-oracle= was specified.

I have tried setting ORACLE_HOME=/export/oracle/pegasus/product/9.2.0 environment variable before running ./configure but to no avail.

I have also tried adding various Oracle environment variables to my startup scripts for Apache, also to no avail.

Any ideas? I am really under the pump to get this sorted as it is for a new production server here and I am limited timewise to get it up and running.

Cheers

Andy
