Hi I have a Oracle database installed locally on my laptop. I'd like to connect to it via Codeigniter 4. Since version 4.2.0 it is able to do so.

https://codeigniter4.github.io/CodeIgniter4/changelogs/v4.2.0.html

All my database credentials are in the .env file, but I'm unable to establish connection. I'm new to Oracle.

I can connect to my database via Oracle SQL Developer.
The data I use for the connection:

  • host: localhost
  • port: 1521
  • user: system
  • password: MYPASSWORD
  • service name: orcl

How can I use that in my .env file?

This is what I have so far:

 database.default.hostname = localhost
 database.default.database =
 database.default.username = system
 database.default.password = MYPASSWORD
 database.default.DBDriver = oci8
 database.default.DBPrefix =
 database.default.port = 1521

I get this error:

Unable to connect to the database.
Main connection [oci8]: oci_connect(): ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA

(.env file)
Try using:

 database.default.hostname = '127.0.0.1:1521/orcl'

Where:

'127.0.0.1:1521/orcl', // hostname:db_port/service_name
