Hi

Please help

**Cannot connect to Oracle - error message**

**Failed to launch service “oracle”: ORA-24315: illegal attribute type**

```
Bitnami Ubuntu Image

```

**php -m shows oci8**  
**phpinfo() shows**

```

Can someone, please, help me figure out what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot

I will try to reproduce this, but since this is not DreamFactory’s driver and you’re enabling a feature in a Bitnami stack, Bitnami support would be a better resource for you.

Can you post the surrounding log entries from web.del-dreamfactory.archana.ndtv.com.log?
