    • Not possible to install on oracle database??

    Posted by gezza posts: 496

    Hi All!

    did anyone get TW going on oracle?

    I have read mixed reports in the forums, some said they managed, some said not.. I have read in the docs that it should be possible to install tikiwiki so that it uses oracle db but we can not get it working. also the installer script gives hints on how to do it for oracle db, so it seems like there were efforts to make it work, but right now it seems broken.. it is a shame because we would really like to use it as our corporate intranet site 😑

    our combo is: Oracle Unbreakable linux & Oracle 10g & TikiWiki 2.2

    it fails at the installation with the same error as described here: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=2061&trackerId=5&show=view

    If you have some hints or a debugged installer php, please let me know, I would really appreciate it,

    many thanks & cheers,
    gezza

    For this error the bad guy was in the tiki-installer.php (not tiki-install.php):

    Copy to clipboard
    $result = $dbTiki->Execute( "show tables" );
 while( $row = $result->fetchRow() )


    The problem is that oracle does not know "show tables" command..it is mysql, so we tried with

    Copy to clipboard
    SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;


    Now we get to the next step where it should install the profile. It starts but after 10 sec it dies without error..

    tried also with all_tables, same result..

    anyway, I keep posting, maybe we find out how to get this working 😊
