Problem installing PHP5, Oracle 10g client, Apache 2 and a few other bits.
517478Jun 9 2006 — edited Jan 15 2008I'm trying to create a script that will build a Fedora 4 server with Apache, MySQL, APC, PHP and Oracle 10g connectivity. The MySQL database is there because the Oracle database I'm connecting to is a large production databse in another country so I'll only be doing SELECTs, putting the data into MySQL and manipulating it locally.
However, I'm having problems acheiving this. As I said, all I'll ever do is SELECTs so I don't need to install the full client. However, if you read http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/htdocs/inst_php_apache_linux.html it says I can acehive this by downloading some RPMs but they don't seem to exist anymore. So I'm downloading the ZIP files for the client and the SDK, setting ORACLE_HOME to point to the extracted files and getting the standard:
checking OCI8 libraries dir... lib32
checking Oracle version... configure: error: Oracle-OCI8 needed libraries not found
My conlcusion after 2 days of messing around and tweaking is that I'm not downloading the correct files. Doesn't help that Oracle's own instructions suggest downloading files that don't exist but I can't find any instructions to acheive what I'm trying to do.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some instructions for installing the necessary parts without installing the whole client - it used to be possible before the RPMs disappeared.
Thanks
Steve
