Description Gerald Tan 2003-10-31 00:39:20 UTC

PHP needs to read the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to connect to Oracle
databases. With the resolution of Bug 30161, apache-2.0.48 uses env -i in
/etc/init.d/apache2 to run the daemon, breaking PHP's capability to connect to
Oracle DBs.

To fix: change "env -i" to "env -i ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME" if the "oci8" use
flag is enabled.

Reproducible: Always

Now we're going to have to be whitelisting acceptable env variables in the
Apache initscripts :\

Maybe we should add an APACHE_WHITELIST_ENV_VARS or something to
/etc/conf.d/apache, and populate the acceptable things in there,
and plug those in inside the initscript.

I think thats better than adding everything to the initscript itself.

Stu/Robin that cool?

whitelist like that sounds good to me.

Comment 5 Rene Androsch 2004-02-22 09:38:47 UTC

Please help me!
I need to get lastest PHP (in apache2) working with Oracle 10g, which is already installed and running. But the make of php clams not finding the oracle libraries :(

Agreed - the whitelist sounds like a good idea.
