Anyone using HP-UX with Apache, PHP and OCI?

[Stefan Blobner]

Hi,

I'm searching for someone who's using HP-UX 11.x with Apache and PHP
with the OCI8 extension (for accessing Oracle).

I'm having some issues while running this and would like to exchange
some information.

my environment is:

HP-UX 11.11
Apache/2.0.49 from the hpuxwsApache package
PHP 4.3.4 as included in that package
OCI8 as included in that package

(I also tried Apache 2.0.52 with PHP 4.3.8 but that didn't make a
difference)
when I'm enabling OCI8, Apache works fine, but the commandline PHP fails
(and I need that as I have background processes, generating some
reports). The error is:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library
'/opt/hpws/apache/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8.sl' - Can't find path for
shared library: libclntsh.sl.8. 0 in Unknown on line 0

after finding http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13151 I managed to solve
this by setting:
export LD_PRELOAD=$ORA CLE_HOME/JRE/lib/PA_RISC/native_threads/libjava.sl

and now also PHP from the commandline works fine as well. but I've no
clue if this is a good solution or there's a better way.
but now I'm running into an issue with LDAP: ldap_bind() fails from a
PHP script run from the commandline, while exactly the same code works
perfectly fine through Apache - and it also works fine from the
commandline when removing the LD_PRELOAD setting - but that removes the
OCI8 functionality again...

so I'm feeling stuck having the choice between LDAP and OCI8 - but my
scripts uses both...
(FUP to comp.sys.hp.hpu x)
