I succeeded in having AOLServer load nsoracle 2.7 but carefully following message of Cynthia Kiser from 4/15.

What do I put (in the .tcl config file) as the Datasource for Oracle? Localhost/localdomain?

Howard Snyder...

ps Nick and Steve say hi to C. Kiser.

Howard, no, absolutely not. (AFAIK this stuff is all exactly the same for 8i, 9i, and 10g, btw.)

If AOLserver and the Oracle RDBMS are on the same box, you can just set ns_param DataSource to empty string, which will use the Bequeath connection method.

If they are on different boxes, you must make sure that the Oracle listener is configured properly, and then set ns_param DataSource to the proper SID, "ora10" or whatever else you named it.
