   Yes, you may install only the client Net8 client on the
webserver. ..but you also must configure it so that it can reach your
Oracle database (presumably on a different server). Here, I've got
Apache/PHP and the Oracle Net8 client installed on a Linux box. The
database is installed on a huge Sun box.

   Could you explain this? I don't recall having to install any specific
Java Runtime Environment on our Linux box...

   or, more specifically, the ORACLE_HOME directory. Quite likely, it's
more apt to be --with-oci=/home/oracle/OraHome1/
