I've not tested the dbcheck.pl with the InstantClient because I've a full 10r2 client installed on the machine but checking on some mailing list archive it seems that InstantClient and DBD::Oracle have some problems working together.... One suggestion I've found was to set the Oracle_home (in the dbcheck.ini file) to the lib directory instead of the root into which the instant client is installed (something like /usr/lib/oracle/10.2.0.2/client/lib)... Another thing is to check that you have the following package installed (took from the DBD:Oracle readme)

• The "Basic" package for the essential Oracle libraries.
• The "SDK" package for the headers and makefile.
• The "SQL*Plus" component is optional, but will help you check your configuration and DBD::Oracle determine your Oracle version. Then you can try to define the full hostname/port/sid/user/password in the dbcheck.ini file under the db you want to configure (it should skip the tnsnames.ora and go through to the db server). Or you can try to define your db in a tnsnames.ora under $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin and put only sid username and password in the dbconfiguration.

What version of DBD::Oracle module are you using? Did it compile/test successfully? Can you check if with sqlplus you can connect correctly to that database?

Hello,

I have installed the dbcheck.pl to test a Oracle base on my hobbitmon server and I have the error : ERROR OCIEnvNlsCreate. Check ORACLE_HOME env var, NLS settings, permissions, etc.

My server is a SLES 9 SP3 x86_64 and I use Oracle InstantClient 10R2

any idea ?

Cheers
