Severity: Warning

Message: ocilogon() [function.ocilogon]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries

Solution 1

I solved it copying all the content of C:\instantclient_11_2 (please check what´s yours) inside system and system32 folders in Windows , then I delete the path of C:\instantclient_11_2 in the PATH enviroment variable.

I am using XAMPP and Windows 8 and it´s the first time I see this issue. I always configured properly oci 8 with xampp and windows in a few minutes. I hope this would help you.

Solution 2

You need to copy all content of the instant client to apache/bin

im using xampp and working for me.

copy all files of the instant client enter image description here to apache/bin

Solution 3

I was facing the same error on uwamp 3 in connecting to oracle 11gR2.

I deleted the oracle instantclient from path variable and copied all files from instantclient to uwamp\bin\apache\bin

and it worked.

My setup:

• System: Windows 7
• Instantclient: instantclient-basiclite-win32-11.1.0.7.0
• Web Server: Uwamp3

I solved with above solution on windows 7 with wampserver.

Also everyone, check that you have the right version of the library and that both client and odbc match version and architecture.
