Could be any number of problems. The most common errors with sqlnet v1:
a) no orasrv entry in /etc/services b) no oracle_sid entry in /etc/oratab c) orasrv not running setuid root d) $ORACLE_HOME/bin not in path

The file is tnsnames.ora and it is generated by the Oracle Network Manager for SQL*Net v2 descriptors. You may also create it manually.

You may use any Oracle account. You may use multiple Oracle accounts (you'll need one WOW shell script for each). The p: driver is the Unix pipe driver which looks up the ORACLE_SID (www) in /etc/oratab.

In tnsnames.ora. If you are connecting to a database on the same node as your web server, just remove TWO_TASK and TNS_ADMIN -- you don't need them. All you need is ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and WOW_UID.
