Hi Guyes ,

To resolve issues I had earlier with RT/Oracle installation, I had to go
over the installation guide from scratch .. May be I overlooked
something in my fist installation.. 

Issue is resolved now.,...

Thanks 

Tamer

Tamer -
    I don't actually use Oracle as my RT backend, I just have scars from
working with Oracle in a previous lifetime. There are several people on
the list who do use it, so one of them may have more useful
suggestions... But since you're asking me: 

    I'd put the variables into the daemon startup sequence. If you're
using a RedHat (or CentOS) system, you could just shove the variable
declarations into /etc/sysconfig/httpd since that will be dot-included
by the init script.

	Cheers,
		Ole

PS. Please try to keep the list CC'd, since my suggestions may be way
off-base and if we keep the conversation public that gives the rest of
the listmembers the chance to call shenanigans on me, which benefits
both of us. :-)
