Connect to oracle from asp fails
Hi,
I am trying to connect to oracle from asp using the exact same connection string that i use from a vb exe.
the vb connection works perfectly.
however, the asp returns the following error..
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle (0x80004005)
Oracle client and networking components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and are part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or later client software installation. Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.
the code is as follows and as i said, it works fine from vb:
Dim conn
Set conn = server.CreateObject("ADODB
conn.open "Provider=MSDAORA.1;Passwo
response.Write conn.State
conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing

Where do yo run VB to connect the db ? Is it on the same node ?
You need to install Oracle client and configure the tnsnames.ora file. It has an entry like:
aaa=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = ....)
(PORT = 1521)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ...)
)
)
then create a myoracledb data source using the aaa connection above

pontis - yes, oracle client is installed - thats why the vb connection works
baonguyen1 - yes- the vb is on the same machine and it works fine
oracle client is installed correctly - i can access the db no problem through sql plus, vb, etc - just not asp. so im thinking its some permission problem with the asp user account? or perhaps an iis setting?
