Zope on Linux - Oracle 7.3 Solaris connect question... ZOracleDA how to compile? compile?
Zelp! (: I have a Linux based Zope installation that I need to connect up with a copy of Oracle 7.3 Workgroup Server running on a Solaris machine. I understand from a recent post that I will need to install Oracle client libraries for Linux in order for the ZOracleDA on the Linux box that is running Zope to compile- I don't have an older Oracle client for Linux, if indeed one was made.. (you can tell that I'm new to this here..) So...ta da... I have several newbie questions.. Obviously Oracle 7.3 is not the current rev. so... 1.) Can I use the current Linux version of the Oracle client to compile the ZOracleDA, then use that install to connect to Oracle 7.3 without errors? 2.) If I cant, does anyone have any suggestions on ways to solve this problem? 3.) Are there any particular caveats in considering this kind of configuration, or anything not covered in the docs.. I'm a relative newcomer to Zope, so *any* help is welcome and highly appreciated... Thank you very much... Chris Beaumont cbeaumon@msri.org
Hi Chris, You can connect to Oracle 7.3 database from ZOracleDA on Linux compiled against Oracle8/8i client. I've a production environment where Zope 2.1.3 runs on a Redhat 6 machine with Oracle 8.0.5 clients. It connects to an Oracle 7.3 database on HP-UX. All you need to make sure is that your SQL*Net connection in the Zope machine is set properly. Your Solaris machine should be added to $ORACLE_HOME/net/admin/tnsnames.ora properly. vsbabu@csoft.net http://vsbabu.csoft.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Beaumont <cbeaumon@msri.org> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2000 4:31 PM Subject: [Zope] Zope on Linux - Oracle 7.3 Solaris connect question...
