[MS4W-Users] RV: Some problems installing ms4w Windows Server 2003 64 Bit [SOLVED]

[David Alda Fernandez de Lezea]

I'll answer myself because I've found the solution. There was an older installation of Oracle and in some way it interferred with the new one, so we cleaned up the OS and reinstalled the oracle client software and now it works perfect. For this case, I can say that it was not necessary to do what I mentioned in the previous email. Just install the oracle client and be aware that there isn't another oracle installation that may interfer.

Hope this can help to anyone.

Regards.

David.

Hello Jeff, 

For Oracle Spatial support, I hace few questions:

I've followed all the steps mentioned in ms4w documentation. I see "OCI driver" when I execute ogrinfo --formats, but whe I make a request to a Oracle Layer I get the typical error:

msOracleSpatialLayerOpen(): OracleSpatial error. Cannot create OCI Handlers. 
Connection failure. Check the connection string. Error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.

This is happening in a Server which is Windows Server 2008 64 Bit edition, but in my pc I've got the same configuration, and I'm a Win XP 32 bit edition. Do I have to set in httppd.conf some variables pointing to Oracle Directory? It's neccessary? And also, do I have to check wether Oracle directory is included in Path OS system variable or not?

In my machine I didn't specify anything in httpd.conf file about oracle installation and everything works perfectly.

Thanks.

Regards.

Then it seems there is a problem with the way Apache version 2.2.15 resolves your ServerName on that server.  You will hit that again when you upgrade Apache on that server, keep that in mind.
