Re: [PHP-DB] Php, Oracle on Mac, with strange behaviour

Hi Mark,

you are right /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist will 
not work in your case, it's for the Mac OS X supplied Apache. In your 
case you can edit /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl adding the following:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instanceclient
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instanceclient
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/instanceclient
ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instanceclient
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME

(note: As Chris Jones mentioned LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used on OS X, 
however there is no harm in having it set)

Place the above some where near the top of apachectl, I cannot tell you 
exactly since fink will not install and MacPorts does not build SQLite3. 
Restart apache and you should see the correct values in getenv() or 
phpinfo().

regards

grant

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
