Installing OCI8 from PECL

The OCI8 extension can be added to an existing PHP installation either automatically or manually from » http://pecl.php.net/. Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8.

For an automated install follow these steps:

If you are behind a firewall, set PEAR’s proxy, for example:

• pear config-set http_proxy http://my-proxy.example.com:80/

• Run

  pecl install oci8

  When prompted, enter either the value of $ORACLE_HOME, or instantclient,/path/to/instant/client/lib.

  Note: Do not enter the variable $ORACLE_HOME because it will not be expanded. Instead, enter the actual path of the Oracle home directory.

For a manual install, download the PECL OCI8 package, e.g. oci8-1.3.5.tgz.

• Extract the package:

  tar -zxf oci8-1.3.5.tgz
  cd oci8-1.3.5

• Prepare the package:

  phpize

• Configure the package, either using $ORACLE_HOMEor Instant Client

  ./configure -with-oci8=shared,$ORACLE_HOME

  or

  ./configure –with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib/

• if you get this error: checking Oracle Instant Client SDK header directory… configure: error: Oracle Instant Client SDK header files not found it means your oracle devel package didnt install correctly.

  then run

• Install the package:

  make install

After either an automatic or manual install, edit your php.ini file and add the line:

extension=oci8.so

If you are having issues using oci_pconnect (causing apache segmentation faults) then you will need to use –with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib and install the 1.3.0 version of the OCI client from http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8

I have this when I enter in notebook, inte user interface I click on Notebook, and didn`t work why is it?  what would the wrong ?

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /service/home/admin@domainname/Notebook. Reason:

    system failure: wiki formatter failure

Sounds like you don’t have Documents enabled,You can use following steps to enable it.

All you need to do is re-initalize the notebook template for the renamed wiki user (wiki@domain.com)

1. login to the zimbra server.
2. Shell into the zimbra account (su – zimbra)
3. run zmprov in wiki@domain.com
4. look for the following output: Initializing folders
