Oracle support ?

[kentatzend]

Thanks to Nick for the very detailed instructions for a work around. Zend will be looking at adding Oracle support as a standard part of our Mac product for the GA release on the OS versions Oracle supports.

BTW some of this is generally good information about how to build PHP extensions on Mac.

4.PECL comes very handy at this point. Download and build the extension using PECL as previously mentioned by Shahar.

Code: Select all

cd /Applications/ZendServer/bin/
sudo ./pecl install oci8


You will be requested to provide path to ORACLE_HOME

Code: Select all

1. Please provide the path to the ORACLE_HOME directory. Use 'instantclient,/path/to/instant/client/lib' if you're compiling with Oracle Instant Client : autodetect

1-1, 'all', 'abort', or Enter to continue:


Type 1 and then provide it with

Code: Select all

instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2


Unfortunately I got this far and it just kept asking me for the location. I followed the steps verbatim, but no luck :-(

Thanks Zend for making these standard in the GA release. I'm really looking forward to it.

It was unclear to me too in the beginning. I would expect to post the path but before you past it you actually have to tell it that you want to past the path.

1) type 1 - press Return on Apple keyboard.
2) paste the path and press Retun.

The prompt is as clear as mud. Anyway, followed your advice and it went through and created the module. However, it created it in /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ and ZendServer wasn't picking it up.

Copied it to the ZendServer extensions directory and restarted

Code: Select all

sudo cp /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/oci8.so /Applications/ZendServer/lib/php_extensions/
sudo /Applications/ZendServer/bin/zendctl.sh restart-apache

Then went into the Admin interface and enabled it as usual.

Thanks for your help. I can now FINALLY get rid of my virtual machine. Would be nice if handling of vhosts was included in the interface too. Just have a look at MAMP Pro and steal their ideas :-)

Nickma's guide was brilliant. Thanks for your support...

As users of MacOS my company had the exact same problem.
