    I followed the above steps, but facing with same issue ORA-24408: could not generate unique server group name, below is my oracle connection test code

    I need to connect to external oracle database:

    if($c = oci_connect('orcl_username', 'orcl_pswd', '//orcl.server.domain.name:1521/servicename')){
    echo "Successfully connected to Oracle.";
    oci_close($c);
    } else {
    $err = oci_error();
    $error = $err['message']."\n\n";
    print $error;
    }


    /etc/sysconfig/network (in my server not oracle server)

    NETWORKING=yes
    NETWORKING_IPV6=no
    HOSTNAME=localhost

    /etc/hosts (in my server not oracle server)

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    Do I need to have the same configuration in oracle server as well? Please help me out.

    Thanks for the reply, could you be more elaborate , do I need to change hostname to the oracle server name? or can this be any name and do I need to specify the ip?

    So you mean do I want to remove the localhost and add the oracle server name ?

    Okay, finally Ive found a way, my webserver hostname needs to be added in /etc/hosts like this
    127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 [hostname]
    orcl db ip orcl db hostname

    and in /etc/sysconfig/network

    NETWORKING=yes
    HOSTNAME=orcl db hostname

    cheers!
