Re: can't log into proxy

Are you sure
  1. The proxy daemon is up and running?
  2. you can connect from the "new" script machine to the database
     server machine?  Try telneting from the "new" script machine
     to the dbi proxy port on the database server - if dbiproxy is
     running, your telnet on the script machine should get this
     response:

         Trying 1.2.3.4...
         Connected to your.database.server.com.
         Escape character is '^]'.

     if the dbiproxy is not up, or the networking isn't working
     properly, then you may get this response from telnet:

         Trying 1.2.3.4...
         telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused


Try writing a simple dbi connection script and put that on the
"new" script machine and try getting that to work first.  Here's
one I use to test a dbiproxy connection to an Oracle db:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

BEGIN {
  $ENV{ORACLE_HOME} = "/path/to/oracle/product/8.1.7";
}

use strict;
use DBI;

my $DSN = "DBI:Proxy:hostname=my.host.com;port=1234;dsn=DBI:Oracle:MY_SID";

my $dbh = DBI->connect("$DSN",
                       "scott", ### user
                       "tiger", ### password
                       { RaiseError => 1, PrintError => 0 }
);

if (defined($dbh)) {
   print "Connected fine!\n\n";
}
else {
   print "Could *NOT* connect!\n\n";
   exit -1;
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you can get that to work, then just add a little more code
to query one table in a database to make sure you can do that.

HTH.
