<p>Very excited about the existance of this project, I'd love to support it where I can.</p>
<p>As a start, I've installed XAMPP on my local maschine and Oracle 10g Express Edition, Drupal 7.x-dev and the latest version of the Oracle project. I followed the instructions in INSTALL.oracle.txt and created a settings.php with the following settings:</p>
<pre>$databases = array (<br> 'default' => <br> array (<br> 'default' => <br> array (<br> 'driver' => 'oracle',<br> 'database' => 'system',<br> 'username' => 'drupal',<br> 'password' => '',<br> 'host' => 'localhost',<br> 'port' => '',<br> ),<br> ),<br>);<br>$db_prefix = 'test1_';</pre><p>When I go to <a href="http://www.example.com/install.php">http://www.example.com/install.php</a> I can select the install profile, select the language and next I get the screen to input database parameters, hence the defined settings are invalid.</p>
<p>Now, there are several notices and warnings displayed on that screen:</p>
<pre> * Notice: Use of undefined constant LOG_LOCAL0 - assumed 'LOG_LOCAL0' in include_once() (line 17 of C:\Develop\Drupal7\includes\database\oracle\database.inc).<br> * Warning: openlog() expects parameter 3 to be long, string given in include_once() (line 17 of C:\Develop\Drupal7\includes\database\oracle\database.inc).<br> * Notice: Undefined index: distribution_name in drupal_install_profile_distribution_name() (line 191 of C:\Develop\Drupal7\includes\install.inc).<br> * Notice: Undefined index: use_cache in DatabaseConnection_oracle->__construct() (line 73 of C:\Develop\Drupal7\includes\database\oracle\database.inc).</pre><p>Underneath the first field in the form is Database type and the only two options I get are "MySQL" and "SQLite", no PostgreSQL and no Oracle.</p>
<p>Any idea what may be causing this?</p>
