I hope there is someone who can help me with my problem. I'm trying to set up a dynamic web page that retrieves information from an oracle database on a Solaris8.x.x. I'm using freeBSD with an Apache 1.3.12 server. The database is NOT located on the same machine as the web server. Are there any good ways to do this? I'm also using perl 5.005 embedded in html (mod_perl1.25 and embperl). I've tried to go about this using to methods. 1) Installing Perl modules DBI and DBD::Oracle. What do I need from the Solaris and Oracle database in order to set up my web server as a client? Which files and directories? Solaris gcc? WHen installing DBD::Oracle I get a complaint telling me that $ORACLE_HOME isn't set. WHere do I do that? 2) Installing Perl module ARSperl, since I'm using the database for the Action Request System. I couldn't find any ARS APIs (libraries and includes) for FreeBSD so I used the Linux version. Hmm. It doesn't complain during the installation phase but of course the module-functions don't work. The perl programs fail directly on the "use ARS;" command. It complains about not finding "pthread_once". I can understand this since the libraries aren't compiled under FreeBSD on my machine. I've tried looking through the mailing list archives and the FAQs but I can't find an answer anywhere. Please tell me I don't have to switch to Linux instead of FreeBSD. THat would be a pain! THanks for any help!

After a long sojourn with MySQL I needed to go back to PostgreSQL. Installed v7.0 but was waiting patiently for v7.1. Then on the port. Then I was ready to activate it. Alas, it was not to be. For some reason I can't "initdb -W -D /home/db/...". Or rather, I can get my cake but not in any eadible condition so to speak. Which is no good. I want to eat my cake! I can't even create a database cluster, nay, system in its default place. Well, not in any ... The v7.0 release on the production box has no such troubles. I can get and eat all the cake I want, as long as it's v7.0 cake. Haven't yet tried to see v7.0 databases are v7.1 compatible. Since I've unsubscribed the pgsql maillists some years ago, does anyone here know if this is 'known'? Or if it's me in which case the details of the errors of my ways would be very much appreciated!
