[cx-oracle-users] Error loading cx_Oracle module: DLL load failed+PyISAPIe+IIS6

[Marilena P. <map...@ut...>]

Hi,

I have developed a Django application, and I am
trying to get it to run under IIS on Windows Server 2003. I'm
generally following the Django walkthrough [1] but my db is Oracle.

If I run python from the command prompt and import cx_Oracle, it works
just fine. If I run the project with django's development server,
everything works fine too.
However, when the Django application is loaded by IIS and
PyISAPIe, it says it cannot load cx_Oracle and displays the following
error:

Error loading cx_Oracle module: DLL load failed: The specified module
could not be found.

I'm using the 32-bit versions of the following:

Python 2.6.6
PyISAPIe 1.1.0 rc4 py2.6
Django 1.4.3
Oracle Client 11.2
cx_Oracle 5.1 (for Oracle 11g, Python 2.6)

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
