Need Oracle HTTP Server for mod_plsql and link to download software

Hi all,
I want to use mod_plsql to publish HTML from the database.
Therefore, I need an Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql.
I have installed the "Oracle HTTP Server with Apache 2.0 10.1.3.1", but there is no mod_plsql included! The welcome page refers to a "Oracle HTTP Server Standalone Administrator's Guide Based On Apache 2.0" which is not installed and can' t be found on OTN.
Can someone give me a link to Oracle HTTP Server installation software which includes mod_plsql?
Any hints are welcome!
Thanks, Markus

Based on the version of the database, you could use the listener from that - the same XML DB uses. That would not require an application server install at all.
Alternative: the mod_plsql replacement cartridge off Tom Kyte's site: asktom.oracle.com. Source only - compile against your preferred Apache

Oracle HTTP Server for APEX3.2

I am a DBA but new to APEX.
On page 4-15 of APEX3.2 Installation Guide, it says
Install from the Database and Configure Oracle HTTP Server
This section describes how to configure Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql
distributed with Oracle Database 11g or Oracle Application Server 10g.
It seems that Oracle HTTP Server is neither distributed with the database CD nor Example CD. Am I right?
Also, can I use HTTP Server bundled with OMS to serve as HTTP Server for APEX? Will that impact Grid Control?
EPG is not considered.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi
When using Grid of course, there is a HTTP server
When having the Rdbms, you need the companion cd or use one of products that has already HTTP server .... ( Example ; IAS, etc )
Kind regards,

Do we need Oracle HTTP server to host Oracle Apex ?

We are completely new to this Oracle Apex.
Wanted to know the licensing part of it , before we get into it.
I guess Oracle Apex is free as it comes with the Oracle database license.
1) Do we need some kind of HTTP server to host the Apex on the browser ?
2) Does any HTTP server will work with Oracle Apex ?
3) Any other free Oracle tool which we can use instead of licensing Oracle HTTP server for this Apex ?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance for the gurus out here.

Correct me if I am wrong.OHS is covered by the DB license if OHS is run on the same server. See Joel's post and the document he links to: +{message:id=9256804}+.

Companion CDs for 64-bit Oracle HTTP Server for AIX5L(64 bit) required.

I need Companion CDs for 64 bit Oracle HTTP Server for AIX5L(64 bit).
I tried to install using
as_ibm_aix_companion_101300_disk1.cpio & as_ibm_aix_companion_101300_disk2.cpio
but when i checked the files present in <Oracle_Home>/ohs/lib , they are of 32-bit.
Also i tried with Oracle 10.1.2.0.2 but still the server is installed as 32-bit.
Is 64-bit Oracle HTTP Server supported on AIX5L(64 bit) ?
If yes, then from where can i download the CDs?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

How to get standalone Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql?

Hi,
I do not know if it is just me but it seems to be a nightmare to get OHS with mod_plsql from the official OTN download site. I downoaded the companion CD for Windows - 3 disks, installed OHS - no mod_plsql. Then I tried to find any clue on OTN on how to download mod_plsql - none. Plenty of information on how to configure it and use it, but nothing on how to get it.
PLSQL gateways is not an option for us because many of our clients do not allow direct communication between the database and the Internet.
Windows 2003 Server R2
Apex 3.2.1
RDBMS 10.2.0.4
Any help appreciated,
WK
PS.
I would not like to download the software from unofficial sites but rather get it straight from Oracle.

Hi,
For those interested: I found Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql on OTN -> downloads -> middleware -> WebCenter suite.

Installing Oracle HTTP Server after installation and configuration.

Hello,
I am using EPM 11.1.2.2 and I have installed Essbase, FR, EAS and EIS but not Oracle HTTP server component.
Is it possible to install it after completion of deployment of whole Hyperion components?
If I install only HTTP component of foundation service and reconfigure Web server will that work without an issue?
Or do I need to reinstall all components?
And, as in EPM 11.1.2.2 for installing Essbase only, Oracle HTTP server is not mandatory, can I skip that component?
Will that make any impact in future?
Thanks,

You can install OHS after you have completed the configuration, install, then configure web server and select OHS.
It is up to you whether you install and use OHS as the web server, it is not mandatory. If you are using workspace then you will need to configure one of the available web servers.
Cheers

Upgrade Oracle http server for last servlet function

Hi
Currently i use Oracle http server with servlet.
It seems that my version with jsdk.jar file don't support EncodeUrl function and web.xml file.
How can i upgrade my server ?
I have tried to replace jsdk.jar file with servlet22.jar file but without results !
Where can i found more information ?
Thanks
Philippe

Hi all
That´s right, the OHS was installed with the Fusion Middleware Web Utilities installation and working fine !
The Apex application is online without problems.
Now, my challenge is to implement the security certificate (SSL) on OHS.
I´ve been read many things but I´m a little confused and looking for a specific documentation to do that.
The certificate was generated and got the especific files ( .cer / .crt / .key ) but the problem is how to configure.
Is it necessary to install another software ?
Is wallet manager must be used or just configure some files like ssl.conf ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Set up Oracle HTTP Server for a particular IP address

How do I set up Oracle HTTP Server to allow access control based on a particular IP address to certain CGI Scripts if a site is a local site?
I have tried this in httpd.conf file but it does not restrict a particular IP address (say 10.1.2.4) in my home network (consists of 3 PCs). 10.1.2.3 is the IP address of node where OHS is installed. I access my OHS from client like this http://10.1.2.3:7777/cgi-bin/printenv
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "C:\oracle_home\Apache\Apache\cgi-bin/"
<Directory C:\oracle_home\Apache\Apache\cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.1.2.3
</Directory>
Note: - I have not made any changes in the default configuration of OHS.
Any help for a student like me will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Rajesh Kumar

No the idea is not to disable the signature. The reason why I wanted you to locate the specific block/deny was to make it easier to fix it. I would still recommend to use the Event Action Filters only to exclude the host and not disable the signature altogether.
That said, there are some signatures that "according to the documentation" cannot be excluded using event actions like Sweep signatures. These signatures have a field for Source/Dest IP built-in to exclude specific hosts. HOwever to be honest I could get event actions to work perfectly with event actions on our customers ;), so it could be an old restriction still mentioned in the docs.
Lastly, you only disable a signature when you are absolutely sure that you are not running the Software/Application/Service on your network. For example on one customer we would frequently get VPN 3000 COnc. HTTP attack signatures fired for internet traffic, and since there is no chance to add any VPN3k on this network (its already End of Sale), I disabled this signature.

Separate Media -vs- Companion CD - Oracle HTTP Server for 11g

I am finally upgrading to Oracle 11g. We have been using HTML-DB for a couple of years. In the Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g it says "Starting with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle HTTP Server is available on a separate media shipped with Oracle Database. In previous releases, this product was available as a Companion CD component."
What's the difference between "separate media shipped with Oracle Database" and a "Companion CD"? Wouldn't something that is shipped with something else be a companion?
Cheers,
Gregory

What's the difference between "separate media shipped with Oracle Database" and a "Companion CD"?
The Companion CD was used for material that wouldn't fit on the base CD and which might be optional or unnecessary for many customers. The packaging was labeled with the term "Companion CD" using the English language proper-noun-as-adjective capitalization convention.
Wouldn't something that is shipped with something else be a companion?
Sure, but the suggested semantic relationship between the ad hoc notation "Companion" and companionship neither excludes accompanying or adjunct materials that do not have this designation from the "companion" category nor does it situate all "companion" material as members of the "Companion" category. If Oracle had labeled the CD as the "Overflow CD" the difference in connotation would have been slight but would not lead me to conflate such supplemental offerings with certain household plumbing mishaps.

What do I need for Oracle Http Server with mod_plsql on Linux 64bit?

I am trying to get the OHS onto a linux box but I am not quite sure I am installing the correct thing!!
I currently have a windows box running the 10g Application server but everything seems to have changed since then and there seems to be several different things to do with the Fusion Middleware and stuff. I've tried to find an overview in plain english of what all these things are but all I can find are lots of marketing buzzwords!
All in need to to be able to run the OHS with the mod_plsql so I can run my apex application. I'd be greatfull if someone could point me in the right direction for what I need to install!
The box it is going on is a CentOS Linux 64bit machine. I've download and installed Oracle WebLogic Server 11g Rel 1 (10.3.3) using the generic installer for the 64 bit java but there seems to be no http server despite it saying there is! Most likely I am doing something wrong but the installer finishes successfully but nothing is running on port 7001.
Do I actually need the WebTier instead? Is that the best solution for running the OHS with mod_plsql? Do I need the WebLogic install as well? Unfortunately I am fairly new to Linux as well which isn't helping!!
thanks for any help
Robert

Well, you have two options:
- Use the OHS from the OFM WebTier Utilities distro. (To use 11.1.1.3 version, you need both the 11.1.1.2 and 11.1.1.3 distros)
- Use the OHS from the DB Companion Disk distro.
WebLogic Server is a Java EE application with an HTTP server included, but not intended to be used as a replacement of OHS/Apache. It doesn't support mod's...

Down Time for Installing APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server?

Hi, all:
I plan to install APEX 4.2.1 and oracle HTTP server on 10.2.0.4 database.
Is there any down time required during installation?
I mean during installation, do I need to block users from accessing the database?
Can they do their normal data entry / inquiry?
thanks,
John
ps. There will be server backup before installation.

Hi,
Documentation says
>
3.1 Recommended Pre-installation Tasks
Before installing Oracle Application Express, Oracle recommends that you complete the following steps:
Review and satisfy all Oracle Application Express installation requirements. See "Oracle Application Express Installation Requirements".
Shut down with normal or immediate priority the Oracle Database instances where you plan to install Oracle Application Express. On Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) systems, shut down all instances on each node.
An alternative to shutting down the database is to prevent all users from accessing Oracle Application Express when upgrading your installation from a previous release of Oracle Application Express. Oracle only recommends this option in high availability production environments where planned outages are not available. For all other scenarios, the database should be shut down.
To disable access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Application Express Listener, shut down the appropriate application server where the Application Express listener is deployed.
To disable user access to Oracle Application Express when the existing installation is using the Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql, you should either shut down the Web server or disable the Application Express Database Access Descriptor of the Web server.
For an existing installation using the embedded PL/SQL gateway, you should disable the Oracle XML DB Protocol Server by setting the HTTP port to 0. This can be accomplished by starting SQL*Plus, connecting as SYS to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and running:
EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(0);
Once you have prevented access from Oracle Application Express users, you should log into SQL*Plus as SYS, connecting to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed, and query V$SESSION to ensure there are no long running sessions which would interfere with the upgrade process.
Back up the Oracle Database installation.
Oracle recommends that you create a backup of the current Oracle Database installation before you install Oracle Application Express. You can use Oracle Database Recovery Manager, which is included in the Oracle Database installation, to perform the backup.
See Also:
Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide
Start the Oracle Database instance that contains the target database.
After backing up the system, you must start the Oracle instance that contains the target Oracle database. Do not start other processes such as a Web Listener. However, if you are performing a remote installation, make sure the database listener for the remote database has started.

Web Service and Oracle HTTP Server

I have a web environment with Oracle Database 10.2.0.3 , oracle http server (using mod_plsql), Oracle pl/sql web toolkit. I need to create a web service that is accessed externally which will interact with the database (select, insert, delete). Is it possible to publish a web service to the Oracle Http Server or to implement web services with the environment above

Hello,
In RDBMS 10g you cannot directly expose WS from the DB you need to use the OracleAS Web Service Runtime to do it, following this documentation:
- Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
This is true if we are talking about "tooling/runtime/API" but after all Web Services are mainly XML (WSDL and SOAP) so it is still possible to create by hands (PL/SQL & static files) but it is probably a long work depending of the complexity of your services.
Also, in RDBMS 11, you can now directly expose WS from the DB using the embedded HTTP server, see this Oracle 11g New Features Document
Note that before taking one approach you must take time to write up your requirement regarding Web Services eg: do I need security, which time of encoding, interoperability, ..., ... For example WS-Security that is the standard to secure SOAP messages is not (yet) supported by the Oracle 11g RDBMS Native Web Services... where when you do use the WS-Runtime you can secure the Web Service..

Installation of the VeriSign digital certification in Oracle HTTP Server

I am not obtaining to generate to the pair of keys and the CSR in Oracle HTTP Server, will have some tip I is thankful.
Thanks
Leandro

Hi Leandro,
Here are some steps to setup digital certificates into Oracle HTTP Server for Unix.
1. The temporary working directory is /u01/tmp/myssl.
2. The contents of <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/open_ssl/bin have been copied to the
temporary working directory created in Assumption #1.
3. SSL file names are priv.key (private key), certreq.csr (certificate request),
and cert.crt (SSL certificate). The actual SSL certificate file could be
named other than 'cert.crt'.
4. By default, SSL is configured using port 443, which requires ROOT access to
start the web listener.
If you want to change this from the default port, you will need to change
the following two parameters in the httpd.conf file to an unused port number:
Listen 443
<VirtualHost default:443>
5. All necessary UNIX environment variables are set correctly for your Oracle
product before implementing these procedures.
6. User must be familiar with UNIX concepts like shell navigation, UNIX
environments, file manipulation/search, file copy/backups, etc.
How to Request and Configure an SSL Certificate for Oracle9i Application Server
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Change your present working directory to the temporary working directory, e.g.,
/u01/tmp/myssl. Ensure the contents of <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/open_ssl/bin have
been copied into this temporary working directory.
2. Copy 5 large files, each at least 250KB, into your temporary working directory.
Suggest looking in any /bin directory for large sized binary files. Execute
the following command to generate the random character file:
     % openssl md5 * > rand.rnd
3. Execute the following command to generate the private key (priv.key):
% openssl genrsa -rand rand.rnd -des3 1024 > priv.key
     - when prompted, enter a "PEM pass phrase" password
     - re-enter password when prompted to verify password
     -- remember the pass phrase password you entered
     - this command generates the priv.key file and associated pass phrase
     - set permissions on the priv.key file to prevent unauthorized editing
     % chmod 400 priv.key
     - backup the priv.key file to a secure location
NOTE
The PEM pass phrase must be at least 4 characters in length. Remember this
pass phrase, you will be prompted to enter it in the next step and each
time you start up the Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) in SSL mode.
Optionally, you can unencrypt the value of the private key, so that you
will not be prompted for the PEM pass phrase every time you start up OHS
in SSL mode.
To unencrypt the private key, execute the following two commands (Note:
ensure file permissions set to r+w):
     % cp priv.key priv.key.bak
     % openssl rsa -in priv.key.bak -out priv.key
- the demo certificate shipped with Oracle9iAS does not require a pass
phrase to start OHS in SSL mode.
- on UNIX, to generate the certificate request and start OHS in SSL mode,
the pass phrase must be entered, unless you executed the above steps
to unencrypt.
- on Windows NT/2000, if a certificate is used that has a pass phrase,
the OHS will hang; therefore, on Windows NT/2000, you must execute
the steps to unencrypt.
4. Execute the following command to generate an SSL certificate request
(certreq.csr) based on your private key.
     % openssl req -new -key priv.key -out certreq.csr -config openssl.cnf
     - when prompted, enter the "PEM pass phrase" set when the private key
was created.
     - when prompted, enter the requested fields that make up the
Distinguished Name.
     -- each entry must be valid information, i.e., email, state, location, etc.
     - when prompted for the "Common Name", you MUST enter the fully
qualified name which will be accessed via client browsers; e.g.,
if clients will use:
https://mysite.domain.com
     -- then, you must enter mysite.domain.com as the "Common Name"
     - the requested 'extra' attributes, i.e., "challenge password" and
"optional company name", are OPTIONAL; just hit ENTER to use NULL values.
5. You should now have the private key and certificate request files (priv.key
and certreq.csr) in your temporary working directory.
NOTE
At this point, you can use your certificate request file 'certreq.csr' to
order a valid SSL certificate from any CA-vendor, e.g., Verisign.
After you receive your SSL certificate, skip to Step #6 for instructions
on how to deploy your SSL files.
OPTIONAL
You can start 9iAS in SSL mode (see Step #12) and test the pre-installed demo
certificate and private key included for testing purposes.
It is a good idea to test to be sure the Oracle HTTP Server SSL mode works
successfully before deploying your new SSL certificate. To try these demo
files, access the 9iAS index page in a browser using the HTTPS protocol and
the appropriate SSL Listen port. URL format:
https://myhost.domain.com:<ssl_port>
The user will see a Security Alert (IE), or New Site Certificate (Netscape)
warning message, click Continue/Next to accept.
OPTIONAL
To create a self-signed certificate, execute the following commands:
(csh) % setenv RANDFILE rand.rnd
<sh or ksh> % export RANDFILE=rand.rnd
% openssl x509 -req -days 30 -in certreq.csr -signkey priv.key > tempcert.crt
- when prompted, enter the "PEM pass phrase" set when the private key was created.
- this command generates a temporary self-signed certificate file 'tempcert.crt'
valid for 30 days, which can be used while awaiting a valid SSL certificate
purchased from an authorized CA-vendor.
- if this option is used, after generating the 'tempcert.crt' file, skip to
Step #6 for instructions on how to deploy your SSL files.
OPTIONAL
These steps are specifically for requesting a TRIAL certificate from the
CA-vendor Verisign.
- Go to www.verisign.com and click on "Free Guides and Trials" link and
follow instructions to request a "Free Trial SSL ID". During this process,
you will be asked to provide certificate request information.
- Open the 'certreq.csr' file using your text editor of choice.
- Starting with "-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" copy all lines
including the BEGIN and END of certificate lines.
- Paste this copied data into the Verisign page where requested and continue.
- You will see the Verisign web site decode your certificate request
information. This decoded information is presented to you to verify it is
correct. If it is, then continue with the process.
- You will be presented with another set of questions from Verisign. Be sure
to answer with the correct email address, as this address will be used to
send your SSL certificate.
- After you answer all these questions, you will be sent a TRIAL 14-day
SSL certificate via email.
- WARNING! You must follow this step carefully, you cannot copy and paste
information from an email to a new text file. After you get your TRIAL
certificate, save the entire email message to a text file. Open this file
using your text editor of choice. You will see the email address header
information and the line:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
- Delete all text that appears before the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- line.
The modified file should contain only certificate information. After you
delete the email header, save this text file inside your temporary directory
with the filename 'trialcert.crt'.
6. Now you are ready to configure Oracle9i Application Server (9iAS) with your
SSL certificate files.
7. Back up your existing <9iAS_HOME>/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf file.
8. Open the httpd.conf file with your text editor of choice.
9. Edit the following httpd.conf directives to use your generated private key
and SSL certificate file, which could be the filename for either the
temporary self-signed certificate, the TRIAL test certificate, or the
purchased valid certificate. The information following the # symbol are
comments.
NOTE
The directory of the SSL files (private key and certificate file)
can reside in any location you choose. The temporary working
directory will continue to be referenced in these procedure steps.
# use the appropriate (i.e., valid, temporary, or trial) certificate filename
SSLCertificateFile /u01/tmp/myssl/tempcert.crt
#private key from Step #4 above:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /u01/tmp/myssl/priv.key
10. Save your modified httpd.conf and exit the text editor.
11. Log in as authorized user (if default ports 80 and 443 are used, ROOT user
must execute commands in next step).
12. Execute the following command to stop, then start Apache in SSL mode
(ensure proper UNIX environments are set; else, execute command from
<9iAS_HOME>/Apache/Apache/bin.)
For Oracle8iAS 1.x:
% httpdsctl stop
% httpdsctl startssl
For Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.x:
% apachectl stop
% apachectl startssl
- when prompted, enter the "pass phrase" created in Step #3.
-- not required if you unencrypted the private key file
- when the Oracle HTTP Server starts successfully in SSL mode, access the
9iAS index page in a browser using the HTTPS protocol and the appropriate
SSL Listen port. URL format:
https://myhost.domain.com:<ssl_port>
- if using a temporary self-signed or TRIAL test certificate, the user will
see a Security Alert (IE), or New Site Certificate (Netscape) warning message,
click Continue/Next to accept.

I hope this help !!
