Apache + PHP - unable to load extension (Oracle)

Ladislav Kostal — Fri, 05 Nov 2004 04:00:08 GMT

Hello all,

After installation of latest HPWS I get this error, when trying to start Apache + PHP with Oracle support:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Call to mmap() failed - TEXT /opt/hpws/apache/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Not enough space
PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/hpws/apache/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8.sl' - (null) in Unknown on line 0

I tried various steps, but nothing helped.

ORACLE variables are set correctly, SHLIB_PATH also, Oracle is 64-bit, increasing shmmax made no difference, swap utilization is low:

#swapinfo -tam
Mb Mb Mb PCT START/ Mb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 1024 376 648 37% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
dev 8000 375 7625 5% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvswap
dev 12276 0 12276 0% 0 - 2 /dev/vg00/lvswap2
reserve - 5999 -5999
memory 1515 366 1149 24%
total 22815 7116 15699 31% - 0 -

Do you have some ideas?

Thanks

hi,

try by increasing maxdsiz,maxdsiz_64bit,maxssiz,maxssiz_64bit
parameters in kernel.

regds,

I would rather try some solution that doesn't require reboot. It is last possibility for me :) Thanks anyway.

Current values:

shmmax 0x400000000
maxdsiz 0x40000000
maxdsiz_64bit 0x100000000
maxssiz 0x800000
maxssiz_64bit 0x800000

hi,

on my test server it is (through sam)

maxdsiz 67108864
maxdsiz_64bit 1073741824
maxssiz 8388608
maxssiz_64bit 8388608

this is the calculated value.just compare with your systems values.

regds,

Does your SHLIB_PATH contain $ORACLE_HOME/lib? If so, read on.

Apache is 32-bit and your Oracle installation is 64-bit. oci8.sl is linked with libclntsh.sl and dld may be trying to load 64-bit version of libclntsh.sl which won't work.

Please make sure your SHLIB_PATH contains $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 instead of $ORACLE_HOME/lib.

Thanks for tip, but it didn't help. Still same :(

Hi,
just a question : dld.sl says "Not enough space". Is there any filesystem without space left (verify with bdf) ?

No, each fs is under 100%. After tracing with tucs I've got exact number of error in mmap call:

[ENOMEM]
MAP_FIXED was specified, and the range [addr, addr+len] exceeds that allowed for the address space of a process; or if MAP_FIXED was not specified and there is insufficient room in the address space to effect the mapping.

I already red these threads before, but leaving reboot with kernel parameter change as last chance.

Oracle php extension may be linked with libclntsh.sl.8.0, whereas your Oracle installation has libclntsh.sl.9.

Please run the following to check

# export SHLIB_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32
# ldd /opt/hpws/apache/php/lib/php/extensions/oci8.sl

If it returns the following error, then in $ORACLE_HOME/lib32 you can create a symbolic link named libclntsh.sl.8.0 that points to libclntsh.sl.9

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libclntsh.sl.8.0
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

Yes, that was the reason!

Current status (after linking):

#ll $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/libclntsh.sl*
libclntsh.sl -> libclntsh.sl.9.0
libclntsh.sl.8.0 -> libclntsh.sl.9.0
libclntsh.sl.9.0

And error message has gone. Thanks much :)
