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.

What do Sympa logs say when you try to connect to Oracle?

 

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

If you mean "standard error", you can find them in the "tmp" Sympa spool (/var/spool/sympa/tmp/ by default). there are file called <pid>.stderr where <pid> if the pid of a running Sympa process. Catch the sympa;pl process id and check whet the corresponding file in the tmp spool contains.

cheers,

David
