Re: Connecting to Oracle DB using DBI from CGI script

Problems connecting to Oracle are often caused by required environment variables that aren't set. See what you have in your normal environment where it works, in environment variables that start with the prefix "ORA", for example "ORA_HOME". If you set them the same way for the CGI script, it'll probably work.

Hey all, I was using webtop to launch these CGI scripts, and somehow the Webtop server was blocking the env variables from getting set(probably some security issue)..So i needed to set the env variables system wide using crle.. This solved the issue.. Thanks for all your pointers.. Good Day..	[reply]
