The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Nick Donaldson <address@concealed>]

Hello everyone.

 

I managed to solve my problem of Sympa not seeing the DBI::Oracle driver. It turned out I needed to specify the database type as Oracle (uppercase ‘O’) in the db_type option for the data source I was defining.

 

Now, I have a new problem. I cannot get sympa to connect to the Oracle database I want to access. At our site, we refer to the Oracle databases via TNSNames. However, it seems that the connect_string sympa generates doesn’t work, no matter whether I specify the host as the TNSName or the full host name.

 

Also, where would I find any error messages that come from perl itself, when sympa runs into problems like this?
