[Mapserver-users] OGR ovf access problem

[COUTUJF at dfo-mpo.gc.ca]

Hello list,
	I'm trying to access a distant Oracle database from Mapserver using
the ovf file and an ODBC connection. I tested the ovf file with ogrinfo as
per the WIKI and it worked OK. 

When I try to access the layer in mapserver I keep getting the following
error message:

msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'sipa'. 
msOGRFileOpen(): OGR error. Open failed for OGR connection `sipa.ovf'. File
not found or unsupported format. 


I did try to follow WIKI tip #1:

1.Enable mod_env 
2.add lines like: setenv ORACLE_HOME /path/ 
3.restart apache 

But I don't have Oracle installed on the webserver's machine, only the ODBC
driver.
So I can't figure out what the path should be...

Must I install Oracle?


Thanks,


JF
