Hi folks,
i've some problems with gallery2.

Gallery2 is running under mySQL on my server. No problems... it works fine. But this was only because of testing how gallery2 works.
I need to put the Gallery on a Oracle9.0g Server.
The first problem is how can i connect to the Oracle Server because the Oracle Server is located somewhere else.
And the second problem is this error message: "You must have the Oracle OCI8 PHP module installed" when i am setting up the database in the install process.

Please don't ask me why i change to Oracle. I have to...

Maybe someone could help me.

Thanks

David

1. don't use beta 3, get the current nightly snapshot from http://galleryupdates.jpmullan.com (it has a g2 oracle bugfix)
2. the OCI8 php module error says that you didn't compile php with oracle support.
you have to compile php with '--with-oci8=/some/path/here', can't help much further, but with google and oracle should do it.
