From andre at jonker.nom.za Mon Mar 7 08:21:17 2005 From: andre at jonker.nom.za (andre@jonker.nom.za) Date: Mon Mar 7 08:21:29 2005 Subject: [Za-pm] DBI version (WIN2K3) Message-ID: <1110212477.422c7f7d8ab4e@webmail.jonker.nom.za> I've got an installation that had to be migrated from NT to WIN2K3 as an Apache CGI. The oldest ActiveState MSI I could find is: ActivePerl-5.6.1.635-MSWin32-x86.msi This runs fine, but it also needs to connect to Oracle 8i. For this I have the Oracle 8 and Oracle 7 clients (was like this for some old scripts that got migrated). TNSPING works. I do however now get the following error: [Mon Mar 07 15:03:23 2005] [error] [client 149.185.67.11] Can't load 'c:/Perl/site/lib/auto/DBI/DBI.dll' for module DBI: load_file:The specified module could not be found at c:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 168.\n This after I found the following two Oracle Modules that would install via ppm: DBD-Oracle.tar.gz DBD-Oracle8.tar.gz I have tried various DBI versions, with DBI-0.89 being the oldest I could find. Anything newer gives me connection warnings: "connect using 'old-style' syntax is deprecated" The current error I believe is still because of a version issue, or some related conflict. I am desperately looking for some older (Win32 compatible) versions of these modules. Any advice or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. ps. Win2K3 is full of permission hassles. I suppose its a good thing for MS, but I had to give blanket permission grants for testing purposes. So this is not a security issue. The error message is related to perl module version conflicts.

I try to collect the opinions of developers like you. My little poll is at this page : http://www.alberocavo.com/OSSprojects.asp It takes less then 4 minutes. I hope the Open Source Communities will give me a help for my research. I apologize for taking your time and for my English that I hope it's understandable ^^ Sincerly, Amedeo Guffanti
