Basically I need it for Java connectivity to an external Oracle instance. Anyway, I am running Apache under Linux and am writing servlets. What I need to know is how do I set up the environment variables such as ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH such that Apache and ApacheJServ can see and use these when launching the JVM. My servlet is having problems with the JDBC connectivity because it can't find the shared libraries that the Oracle java classes need, and it cannot, obviousl, find the tnsnames.ora file to resolve the remote machine/oracle database instance. tom
