fixup in settings.py :

DATABASES={
    'default':
    {
    'ENGINE':'django.db.backends.oracle',
    'NAME':'servicename', # must be the servicename eg. dbname_high,dbname_low,dbname_medium etc.
    'USER':'ADMIN',
    'PASSWORD':'bhouguspassword',#Please provide the db password here but it can cause issue if you were using '@'
    }
}

path:

ls -lart /usr/lib/oracle/21/

I have unzipped the wallet within ?/network/admin folder and changed the group poermission to apache with chown -R :apache /usr/lib/oracle/21/ make sure you have a setup TNS_ADMIN, LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
