Connecting to Oracle Database

I fixed it.

I had to restart Apache after uncommenting php.ini.
I verified that my tnsnames.ora was correct.
I also changed my dbconfig to look like this:

Code:

$db['default']['hostname'] = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<IPADDRESS>)(PORT=<PORT_NUMBER>))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME = <INSTANCE>)))";
$db['default']['username'] = "<username>";
$db['default']['password'] = "<password>";
$db['default']['database'] = "<database name>"; //I'm still not sure if this is required!??
$db['default']['dbdriver'] = "oci8";
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";
$db['default']['pconnect'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['db_debug'] = TRUE;
$db['default']['cache_on'] = FALSE;
$db['default']['cachedir'] = "";
$db['default']['char_set'] = "utf8";
$db['default']['dbcollat'] = "utf8_general_ci";
