=== Compiled Entities ===
For local test machines this step isn't mandatory. For production servers it is strongly recommended. When Doctrine uses and entity it creates a compiled version of the entity which by default is stored in the machines temporary folder. This is un-suitable for production machines as this may well be emptied and then cause GocDB to cease working. To avoid this uncomment the following line in bootstrap_doctrine.php:
<pre>
$config->setProxyDir(__DIR__."/compiledEntities");
</pre>
At this point no further action is required, but later we will need to create this folder and populate it with the compiled entities data.

=== Apache Configuration  ===
=== Apache Configuration  ===
Now that your database is deployed the final step is to configure Apache.
==== /etc/sysconfig/httpd - Oracle configuration ====
The Oracle environment must be set correctly before starting Apache so that PHP OCI8 works correctly. In general you should set the same variables that are set by the ''$ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle_env.sh'' script. The necessary environment variables can be set in Apache's environment configuration file.
On RedHat Linux and its derivatives with the default httpd package, this is ''/etc/sysconfig/httpd''.
<pre>
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1    # Adjust pathname to match your installation
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

As described in the previous compiled entities section this step is not required for local test deployments of GocDB but strongly recommend for production deployments. You should have uncommented the line in ''bootstrap_doctrine.php'' that sets the proxy directory for the entities:
