Re: [cx-oracle-users] Unable to acquire Oracle environment handle

[Anthony T. <ant...@gm...>]

Hi,

This has always been some problem with a missing value for ORACLE_HOME
and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Check your environment variables. Since this
is running in Django, a web server, sometimes these environment
variables are not set globally. You can always "force" this issue by
issuing calls like this prior to creating a connection with cx_Oracle.

os.environ["ORACLE_HOME"] = /the/path/to/your/oracle/home

LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent method of setting the shared library
search path) __must__ be set prior to starting a process so you'll
need to make sure that is done globally or in your web server
configuration files somewhere.

Hope that helps.

Anthony
