Installing Oracle OCI (oci8) library to Lubuntu 10.04.4 LTS – Using OCI instantclient 12.1

First Check Version of your Ubuntu

Run Command :  lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid

Pre Requisites:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install php5-dev php-pear libaio1

Instant Client installation requires some environment variables to be able to see the library folder. Edit /etc/environment and add at the end:

# Oracle Instant Client LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/usr/local/lib/instantclient_12_1″ TNS_ADMIN=”/usr/local/lib/instantclient_12_1″ ORACLE_BASE=”/usr/local/lib/instantclient_12_1″ ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE

32 Bit :

64 Bit

Now transfer the downloaded file from local pc to ubuntu server using WinSCP

The symbolic link is needed during the compilation step later.

You will be prompted for the location of the library:

instantclient,/usr/local/lib/instantclient_12_1

PHP5 Instructions

You should now create a new oci8.ini file which will be included when loading php.ini (Editing the php.ini is discouraged):

nano /etc/php5/conf.d/oci8.ini

this will create a blank file; add to this file:

extension=oci8.so

In Ubuntu 13.10, you should create a new oci8.ini in:

nano /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/oci8.ini

this will create a blank file. Then add to this file:

extension=oci8.so

Restart Apache

Check <?php echo phpinfo() ?> to verify if the oci8 module is available.

PHP Version 5.4.39-1+deb.sury.org~lucid+2
