Re: DBI output into browser using CGI

I think I may have found something here in the tomcat logs. INFO: cgi: runCGI (stderr):install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/local/lib64/perl5/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.12.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 200, <CONFIG_FILE> line 5. I didn't even think of looking at these at first. d'oh. but what is weird (at least to me) is that tomcat can't load that. Another piece of the puzzle in any case.

what is weird (at least to me) is that tomcat can't load that. In absence of any evidence to the contrary, best guess would be because the tomcat user doesn't have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set correctly. But given that you're using tomcat to run perl CGIs pretty much anything could be going wrong, TBH.	[reply]
