Wanted to work on an Oracle-backed project from home last weekend; e.g., Warning (2): ocilogon() [function.ocilogon]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set and point to the right directories [CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo/dbo_oracle.php, line 171] ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are environment variables I’d defined in my ~/.bashrc; e.g., . /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/oracle_env.sh And phpinfo() seems to suggest that it’s OK: OCI8 Support enabled Version 1.4.1 Revision $Revision: 293235 $ Active Persistent Connections 0 Active Connections 0 Compile-time ORACLE_HOME /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.

Encountered this issue todya/ The verbiage indicates that Oracle is starting up (or down), but waiting doesn’t work. sqlplus sys/xxxxxxx as sysdba Replace the ‘xxxxxxx’ part with your actual password. If sqlplus command is not found, it’s probably a problem with your environment variables, but that’s another can of worms altogether. Let’s see whether the db can be mounted: SQL> alter database mount; ERROR at line 1: ORA-01100: database already mounted OK, so the database needs to be opened too, whatever that means:

I installed RHEL today, but to get updates (via yum), a subscription is required. Not CentOS however. Some Google-ing uncovered this article, which pretty much works, except I had to make a few edits here and there. # Remove cached packages yum clean all # Create /root/centos/ mkdir ~/centos && cd ~/centos # Import CentOS's GPG key wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.4/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 # Download packages wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-5-4.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.4-4.i386.rpm wget http://mirror.
