The mod_dbd docs says this selects an apr_dbd driver name. It's not clear to me if I even HAVE any apr_dbd drivers installed on this machine (yet). Presuming somebody locally will be takingcare of setting up the Oracle connection(s) needed, what apr_dbd stuff do I need, where do I find it, what do I do with it?Look in the APR libs directory for a file called apr_dbd_pgsql.so, apr_dbd_oracle.so, and similarly-named files. Those are driver files.
Do I need to load these as modules, too? Or do they get dynamically associated from the library when the DBDriver directive calls for them? Or do they get statically linked into mod_dbd.so when included in the package build?
If you build the server yourself, you (may) have to use "--with-foo" configuration options. If you installed from packages, check your packager's docs.
They're not present in my lib directory or any other subordinate to the server root. Platform that I'm concerned about is Solaris 10, so there's no packager involved (a colleague built the entire package several years ago). Guess I have to rebuild the package w/ --with-SOMETHING for the oracle or perhaps odbc drivers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Igor Cicimov wrote: > Hmmm not sure really but that driver name sounds like is for PostgreSQL > database :) Your guess is as good as mine on that. It was simply copied verbatim from the configuration example at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authn_dbd.html as a starting point for developing a configuration. -- J.Lance Wilkinson ("Lance") InterNet: Lance.Wilkinson@xxxxxxx Systems Design Specialist - Lead Phone: (814) 865-4870 Digital Library Technologies FAX: (814) 863-3560 E3 Paterno Library Penn State University University Park, PA 16802 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
