[Zope-DB] DCOracle2: Invalid Connection String

[Kevin Taylor]

I am running into a problem with DCOracle2, when trying to connect to a
local Oracle 8.1.7 database.  From the Management interface, I can go to
my Oracle_database_connection object and attempt to update the
connection string to zope/zope2 (to match my test database).  This
always returns Invalid Connection String.

I am running:
SuSE 7.3 with their build of Zope 2.4.1
Oracle 8.1.7 on the same machine

I did update the zope start script to include LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
ORACLE_HOME variables.  I also tried going to a console, setting these
manually and running the z2.py directly.  

I referred to previous posts regarding the same problem, and am
including pertinent information related to those posts as well:
