oci_connect() works only from command line
OK, so I have this terrible problem with oci, apache, php and suse. First off, versions:
PHP 5.3.15 (cli)
Apache/2.2.22 (Linux/SUSE)
OCI8 1.4.9
SUSE 12.2 32 bit
Oracle client 10.2.0.4
Problem
I have really simple php file:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
oci_connect('user', 'passwd', 'host/sid');
?>
When I run it from command line it executes fine:
machine:~ # php oci.php
machine:~ #
But when i run it in browser, it gives me:
Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: 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
Apache configuration
I've been struggling with this issue for some time now and I'm pretty sure my apache configuration is correct.
I export all required variables before any apache process is started - I added
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/oracle/home/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle/home; export ORACLE_HOME
TNS_ADMIN=/path/to/oracle/home/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN
NLS_LANG=POLISH_POLAND.EE8MSWIN1250; export NLS_LANG
at the beginning of /etc/init.d/apache2 script (I start apache by /etc/init.d/apache2 start).
Apache runs from wwwrun user, who is in oinstall and dba groups:
machine:~ # cat /etc/apache2/uid.conf
User wwwrun
Group www
machine:~ # id wwwrun
uid=30(wwwrun) gid=8(www) groups=8(www),113(oinstall),114(dba)
machine:~ # l $ORACLE_HOME
total 216
drwxr-xr-x 48 oracle oinstall 4096 Jan 25 17:07 ./
drwxrwxr-x 3 oracle oinstall 4096 Jan 25 17:01 ../
...
machine:~ #
Possible problem
I don't have any environmental variables in Environment section in phpinfo(); output - could this be the problem? If yes, how can I fix this? Is it some kind of security issue? I've read about problems like that with SELinux enabled, but I don't have it, my firewall is off.
Solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
