I'm new to Oracle, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.

I'm having installation problems with DbMan SQL on an Oracle server.

With other scripts, it's enough for me to specify "localhost" as server, and user and pw for the oracle db in order to make a connection to the database.

Trying to install DbMan SQL, however, I get the following error:

GT::SQL::Table (159630): The environment variable ORACLE_HOME is not defined. It must be defined for the script to connect properly. at /u/www/istb/cgi-bin/dbmansql/admin/GT/SQL.pm line 199."

If I open SQL.pm and add the environment variable manually, I get the following error message:

"Error: Could not connect to database. Reason: Can't connect using this syntax without specifying a HOST and a SID."

As I said, I'm new to Oracle, and simply don't know what kind of information the script is expecting; nor do there seem to be any fields on the initial setup form which would allow to specify any such data.

Many thanks in advance,
