Dear all,
I have a problem with OCI8 installation and I would appreciate if you could kindly guide me how to solve this issue.
I started reading the following articles in order to learn how to install the OCI8 package allowing to connect from PHP to oracle
http://www.php.net/manual/en/oci8.installation.php
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/technote-php-instant-084410.html
Here is my environment description
OS: Fedora Core 17 (X86_64)
Oracle version: Oracle Enterprise Edition 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) X86_64
PHP Version: 5.4.13
Apache version: 2.2.23
Just a detail: almost every documentation starts by explaining the instant client installation. However, on the same physical machine, before even installing Apache and PHP. Oracle server had been completely installed, that is, both server and client (SQL*Plus, SQL*Loader, . . .). As a result, I omitted this step in the documentation and I continued by installation direcly OCI8 and apparently everything was compiled successfully (no error message).
Problem: OCI8 doesn't show up in phpinfo()
So it seems that there is a problem. I'm going to write down exactly how I proceeded and I would appreciate if you could kindly take a look at these steps and tell whether I made mistake(s)
I started by running as ROOT. As I said the oracle server was already installed on the machine and so all the required environment variables such as LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_SID, . . . were already defined in ~/.bash_profile
And if you look at the below output, you can see that for example ORACLE_HOME was detected automatically during the installation (*checking Oracle ORACLE_HOME install directory... /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1*)
# pecl install oci8
This gave me the following output
# pecl install oci8

Libraries have been installed in:
/var/tmp/pear-build-rootGiD7YE/oci8-1.4.9/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Also I updated the */etc/sysconfig/httpd* in order to export the specified set of OS environment variables. So I added the following lines at the end of the file
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH64=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/lib
TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
ORACLE_SID=db01
In order to check that these values are actually taken into account by Apache, I run
# service httpd restart
Then I run a PHP script with phpinfo() and in the section
Environment the above values were present in particular the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
However, as I said, there is no OCI8 entry in phpinfo() output. I checked the apache log file and I saw that there is a problem
# cat /var/log/httpd/error_log

#
What I understand from the above log is that the shared library libclntsh.so.11.1 cannot be found. Yet I checked and I saw that it is present in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# locate libclntsh.so
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/inventory/Scripts/ext/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1

/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1
#
So the last line, shows that the specified library exists in */u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1*.
So I don't really seem what is the problem and the more strange thing is that in command line PHP seem to detect my oracle server parameters.

I thought maybe there are several different php.ini and the one used within GUI is not the same used in CLI but a search showed that there is just one php.ini file
# locate php.ini
/etc/php.ini
#
#
# php -i | grep Configuration
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc
Loaded Configuration File => /etc/php.ini
Configuration
#
It is almost 3 days that I'm googling without success to find the solution to this problem.
So, could someone help me, what is the problem? Why the OCI8 module cannot be loaded by PHP and become visible in the phpinfo() output?
Thanks in advance,
