The installer says "If you are using client libraries 10g or newer you can also use the Easy Connect naming method." However, when attempting to do so, I encounter "Invalid database TNS "(my info here)". Use only ASCII letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_) and dots (.)." EZconnect usually uses forward slashes, which apparently is not allowed. The EZConnect doc linked to shows many examples using forward slashes, hence my confusion.
The validation code does not allow for forward slash (/), thus an Easy Connect string will never be accepted. The validation code should be changed to accept both colon and slash. (Ex. localhost/XE:POOLED). Problem is in includes/installer/OracleInstaller.php line 90. A quick workaround is to remove line 90 and 91: } elseif ( !preg_match( '/^[a-zA-Z0-9_\.]+$/', $newValues['wgDBserver'] ) ) { $status->fatal( 'config-invalid-db-server-oracle', $newValues['wgDBserver'] );
Line numbers in my previous comment relate to version 1.20.2. Correct line number for the validation code in 1.19.2 is line 76.
In other words, problem still exist in both 1.19.3 and 1.20.2 ;-)
Just commited a patch for that into review and will be backporting it as soon as it gets aprooved.
Already fixed: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/Ie3a0af9801bfdbc9129298be07e1676145a1607a,n,z For future reference, putting bug report numbers into commit messages welcome.
