Brought to you by:
hswong3i
if you cannot connect to your oracle db during installation dialogues, make the connection by hard linking to the DB. modify $conn_string:
in files:
\includes\database.oci8.inc
\includes\install.oci8.inc
//--- HACK host conn_string --------------
$conn_string = "(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = your_name_of_the_host)(Port = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = your_service_name)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
)
)";
