Web Site Hosting in Oracle HTTP Server

Hi All,
We have an application based on Oracle UCM. We are accessing that application using the url http://site_name/GMKP/index.htm . I have done virtual hosing (name based) with HTTP Server to host multiple web sites. One requirement is we need to access our application using url http://site_name/gmkp/index.htm . How can we do that? Please let me know a solution for this. Do we have to write some rewrite rule for this?
Thanks,
Manikandan

Look into mod_rewrite with a .htaccess file. You turn it on in httpd.conf.
There is a pretty nice instruction at http://www.addedbytes.com/for-beginners/url-rewriting-for-beginners/

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..

How to isolate web applications at URL level with Oracle HTTP Server?

We have 2 machines each for oracle web cache, oracle http server and oracle application server (oc4j). We would like to host many web applications on this infrastructure. We have an issue with application/web site isolation for maintenance purposes.
We have several oc4j containers for different web sites/applications but they all use one instance of Oracle Http Server. When we need to make changes to an application/web site or introduce a new web site (URL), we change the OHS configuration and restart OHS on each of the machines.
As we have many URLs hosted on this OHS and plan to host a lot more (may be around 300), we need a way to slice and dice the URLs so that every change or any change should not need to go through a regression cycle or testing cycle for all the applications each weekend (our change window). When we used Apache earlier, we used to be able to create multiple httpd.conf (process level isolation) to cater to different applications.
We could do this with Oracle Http Server too but Oracle will not support us. I appreciate any advice or suggestion with this issue.
Thank you

Hi Joey,
A great idea! I recently presented at a local user group meeting about my WebSockets API (see the links in my signature). I've uploaded the presentation and the demo code I gave to our UG here.
I think the barrier to entry is with needing to know the web languages (e.g. html/css/js) as well as writing your LabVIEW code. I have joined the group and look forward to seeing some interesting content on there! Certainly some demos of using AJAX to make requests to Web Services and do something with the data (e.g. display on a graph) would be a good place to start.

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}+.

Oracle HTTP Server as web tier for OBIEE - Best Practices?

Hi All,
A bit of a cross-topic issue - IHAC which wants to add a web tier (in a form of additional DMZ server with Oracle HTTP Server installed) to existing OBIEE installation.
Are there any best practices regarding all the security aspects - installations, ports, SSL, certificates, keystores etc. ?
Thank you in advance,
Roman

Am not using weblogic, I'm doing standalone setup
Standalone:
FMW 11g Web-Tier products are configured without a domain and administered from the command line. In this case, be sure to UN-check the selection for “Associate to WebLogic Domain” during the installation prompts and uncheck the web cache.. Only OHS is installed.

New Oracle HTTP server install unable to host remote HTMLDB.

Hi all.
I installed the Oracle HTTP Server from the Oracle 10G Release 1 companion CD on a Mac Powerbook running the Tiger OS. I have a CentOS Linux server on my network with Oracle 10G R2 database running that I've installed HTMLDB 2.0 on. I can not seem to get the HTTP server to serve up a front end to my HTMLDB. I can connect and log into the Oracle Database from the MAC using SQLPlus using the HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER account and password.

How to call webservice through Oracle HTTP Server

I have cluster of three Managed Servers. They are behind a Oracle HTTP Server. I deployed a web service to the cluster. When calling web service, I got the error. The error is that the client of web service can not directly access the Managed Servers.
The error tell that it can not access http://webapp01:7003/webservice/HelloWorld?WSDL
Where webapp01 is the host name of a managed server.
Is there a way that web service return the result to HTTP Server and HTTP Server return it to web service client.

1. Before you invoke the WebServices from client program, I guess you may have already generated the webservices client jar for the WSDL that is deployed using sun jdk "wsimport" command or bea's clientgen ant task. At this time, what is the wsdl url you gave. In the generated client jar file you should see .JAVA files also. Check the Service related .java file and check the WSDL URL in that file. If it is using weblogic servers managed server host and port, then the problem you see is obvious.
2. To fix this, you re-generate the webservices client jar file again this time giving the http server host and port instead of weblogic host and port. I am hoping you already modified httpd.conf file to accept the webservice url pattern. Check the .JAVA file generated for service to see the WSDL URL that is having inside.
3. Another approach is on your client side, before you invoke any operation on WebService, you will be first getting Service object, then Port object and invoke methods on Port object. When you get Service Object, you can pass the WSDL URL as one parameter and ServiceName (QName) as second parameter. Most of time we use default constructor without any parameters to get Service object. But you can use other constructor and pass 2 parameters. The WSDL URL will have HttpServers host and port, and rest of the url for wsdl will be the same.
In our env, we have similar requirment. SOAP BPEL Process WebServices are deployed on WLS 10.3.1 on a Cluster with 2 ManagedServers. We have Apache Proxy in front of this Cluster. All our WSDL requests goes to Apache host and port + wsdl url. This inturn goes to one of the managed servers at a time in round-robin. This is working. In httpd.conf we gave "MatchExpression / " so that any request from apache will go to cluster.

How to install Soap on the (Apache) Oracle HTTP Server

Hi,
Does anyone know how to install SOAP on the Oracle HTTP Server? I downloaded a soap version (it seems that the standard version comes without SOAP) from the xml.apache.org site and followed the installation instructions as far as I could (only Tomcat is described). However, no 'soaping'!!! Maybe I'm overlooking something because I cannot imagine that it should be difficult.
Thanks in advance!
Hans

Hans, the SOAP implementation is part of OC4J. You get it out of the box. Check out how to use the out-of-the-box implementation in the tutorials on Web services with Oracle9i JDeveloper at:
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/webservices/htdocs/series/content.html
These tutorials/samples use the implementation of SOAP/WSDL that Oracle calls J2EE Web Services and this is the long term direction of Oracle's Web services implementation. This implementation is what Oracle will be evolving to Sun's Java Web Services Developer Pack as it finalizes into J2EE 1.4.
If you want to use Oracle/Apache SOAP, this too is included in OC4J but its support is being deprecated in future releases of Oracle9iAS in favour of the J2EE Web Services implementation. To find it, check out the OC4J/soap/webapps/ directory for the soap.ear file (it is in a slightly different spot if you are using the full Oracle9iAS R2 but still within the soap directory structure. Simply add <application name="soap" path="../../../soap/webapps/soap.ear" auto-start="true"/> to your OC4J server.xml and <web-app application="soap" name="soap" root="/soap" /> to your OC4J http-web-site.xml, re-start and away you go.
Finally, just to be sure, SOAP support in Oracle9iAS did not appear until 1.0.2.2.x and higher. If using 1.0.2.1 or less, you are correct, there is no SOAP support.
Mike.
Most folks that try out the J2EE Web Services find it is pretty easy to use so

Oracle HTTP Server and Node Manager

Hi,
I installed Oracle HTTP Server with Node Manager. I set "CrashRecoveryEnabled=true" in the nodemanager.properties. It works fine when I reboot the machine, but when I kill the root process (kill -9), the new process can not be started as the previous process does not have enough time to die and still uses the ports. I tried to run "nmGenBootStartupProps" in wlst, or set the
RestartMax=2
RestartDelaySeconds=5
variables in "[domain_name]/servers/[server_name]/data/nodemanager/startup.properties" - no success.
Any ideas, how to set the number of retries and the delay between restarts?

How can we debug Oracle Http Server on AIX.

Our requirement is to attach a debugger (dbx) to oracle http server on AIX.
For that purpose we need to start the OHS webserver service that is opmn in a single process mode the way we start Apache webserver by -X option.
Can anyone help how can we start OHS in single thread.

I have installed Oracle Apex 4.1 on Oracle 10g database but I want to configure Oracle HTTP Server on another Server(Microsoft Windows 2008 R2). Here I have placed Apache Tomcat 6.0 version already. Can anyone please tell me how is it possible to install and configure Oracle HTTP Server on Windows 2008 along with Apache Tomcat?Why? Installing OHS and the DB on separate servers will incur additional licensing costs.
More common confugrations would be to use Apache as a reverse proxy to an OHS+DB server, or Tomcat+APEX Listener with a DB server and not using OHS at all. (Although I understand Tomcat is not an Oracle-supported platform for the APEX Listener. For any questions on this or other Listener-related topics use the {forum:id=858} forum.)

OracleOraHome92Agent - OIA & Oracle HTTP Server - Apache JServ Cant Startup

Recently i have 2 oracle 9i database server {A} & , and my task is to migrate all the data from {A} To {B}.
I used [Orcale Management Server - OMS] to login for connect both server for data manipulation. However, when i used [Discover Nodes] in the [Oracle Enterprise Manager Console], the [A] cant find.
I found that [OracleOraHome92Agent - OIA] in Windows [Services] is not Started even i manually start it. I found 1 web site told about [How does one start the Oracle Intelligent Agent?] in URL [http://www.orafaq.com/faqoem.htm#IA-START].
I have follow the steps and also cant get it started succeefully.
Besides that, i also found that [Oracle HTTP Server - Apache JServ] is not successful start up also. Error Msg is written below:
"Syntax error on line 92 of c:/oracle/ora92/sqlplus/admin/isqlplus.conf: FastCgiServer: redefinition of a previously defined FastCGI server "c:/oracle/ora92/bin/isqlplus"
Note the errors or messages above, and press the <ESC> key to exit.
It is the [HTTP Server] cant start up affected the [Oracle Intelligent Agent]?
Thanks fro reading my messages. Hope u can help me.

OEM agent should be independent of any other components, considering its function.
What is the error message when you try to start the OracleAgent service?
Did you try following steps from FAQ as well?
"If the agent doesn't want to start, ensure your environment variables are set correctly and delete the following files before trying again:

so if I go to the server and load
     MyServer.web1.com          10.0.2.5
it load a different web server.
My thought is to use virtual host how does Apple / Community recommend I set this up...
T.

Please do not squat in the "home.com" domain. If you're going to use a bogus domain, please use a bogus to-level domain such as server.home.jarvis — .jarvis is not currently a valid top-level domain, though that might change with the way ICANN has been bringing many new top-levels online, so a real registration is safer here.

Assumptions:
     1. The Server is not intended to be publicly accessable from the Internet
How will it be accessed? Entirely privately? No external access? OK.
     2. Private Network - 10.0.1.X
I'd probably pick something a little further into 10, such as 10.8 or 10.10, or 10.20.1.x — if you're ever using a VPN, it's best to use a weirder subnet, and I've worked with several folks that have 10.0.1.0/24 subnets.
     3. DHCP Reservation for the Mac Server - 10.0.1.2.
I usually prefer keep the server and the other fixed-address hosts outside the DHCP pool.
     4. Server Domain name MacServer.home.com
Are you the registrant for the home.com domain? (I'd tend to doubt that, and would therefore suggest use of a real and registered domain or subdomain that you have permission to use or (less desirably) use a bogus top-level domain.)
     5. Example Web Site http:www.rouxacademy.com to also run off the same server...
Is that going to be public?
Prequisites:
     1. Static Server IP Address / DHCP Reserved IP Address against MAC Address
     2. DNS Service Configured and Running
     3. Web Service Configured and Running
     4. Example Web Site http:www.rouxacademy.com
     5. You have a basic website (with mysql) files available
               Directory roux_academy (Contains Basic Web SIte files etc)
OK.
Steps:
     1. Static Server IP Address / DHCP Reserved IP Address against MAC Address
The Airport Airport allows you to Reserve and IP address against a MAC (Media Access Control) physicall address of Server Ethernet Card. You can do this or have the Airport allocated DHCP address from 10.0.1.50 and above and statically allocate the server address of the machine.
I'd leave the server out of the address pool. So long as the pool and all static IP hosts are in the same block (usually a 255.255.255.0 or /24 subnet) it'll all work, and you won't need to entangle the OS X Server with the DHCP server.
     2. DNS Service Configured and Running
Install Mavricks, install OS X Server application, launch server app...
Go to DNS tab, define a new host name MacServer.home.com and associate with 10.0.1.2 IP Addresss
Start DNS Service...
Note: DO not publish DNS service via airport to Internet...
Other than not squatting in that domain, yes. There's no reason to open TCP or UDP port 53 inbound.
   3. Web Service Configured and Running
Go to Web Sites tab...
Click + and create new web site entry
Domain Name:                http:www.rouxacademy.com
IP Address:                     Any
SSL:                               None
Store Files in:                /Volumes/dev/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/roux_academy
Who can access:          Anyone # I would restrict to a single user
Additional Domains:     rouxacademy.com
no http: prefix there, but yes.
If you're not exposing the server to the 'net (as mentioned above) there's probably no need to restrict. If you do need to restrict, you'll need to edit configuration files for Apache, or some other technique — maybe a VPN, if you're allowing (controlled, VPN-based) inbound access into your network.
Start Web Service...
     4. Back to DNS
Add host name....
www.rouxacademy.com / 10.0.1.2
# Do not create an MX record or publish DNS via airport...
AirPort does not know from MX records, and does not provide DNS services. AirPort will know about your local DNS server, since you are apparently using the AirPort for DHCP.
You can also add the DNS translation during step 2; Apache and DNS are not tightly linked here.
Launch Safari and type
     www.rouxacademy.com          - should launch web site...
     rouxacademy.com                   - should launch web site
Caveat: the Real rouxacademy.com will not be accesable from the server or local machines on 10.0.1.X network...
Ah, so there's a key detail — you're playing games and mimicking a real web site? OK.
The rouxacademy.com web site will be accessible from the server, as that'll (also) have the DNS translation (and remember the basis for virtual hosting is the client — the server in this case — has a translation for the host — the rouxacademy.com or www.rouxacademy.com domain in this case — and passes that string over the HTTP or HTTPS connection to the web server.   If you really want to keep the server from accessing this web site, then you'll have to push the local translation of that domain into the hosts file, or to a separate DNS server.
I'd try to avoid this configuration though, particularly as your references to MX earlier implies that this domain might be more active than just the web services discussed here — trying to run split-horizon DNS means you'll get what's internal and external somewhat tangled, and you'll have to keep mail — for instance — aimed outside and web services aimed internally. This is possible for many cases, but gets tricky.
Best to test the web site with a different domain name, and to use /-relative notation for accessing the files, or using the web content management system's configuration settings to control the "published" name of the site.

Virtual Hosts in Apache HTTP Server

How to configure virtual hosts in Apache HTTP Server httpd.conf file.
If I want to access my server with some other name(alias), how can I do this ?
Suggestions in this matter would be highly helpful.

Subject: Apache Server Virtual Hosting
Last Revision Date: 07-JUN-2001
PURPOSE
This document discusses considerations for setting up virtual hosts on an
Apache machine, to include how to get the hostname working and how to
configure Apache.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
The information in this document is intended for those who manage multiple sites
using an Apache machine.
REFERENCES
First published in Apache Week issue 31 (6th September 1996)
Last update 20th September 1998
Using Virtual Hosts
Virtual Hosts let you run multiple independent Web sites on a single host with
a single Apache setup.
One of the most important facilities in Apache is its ability to run virtual
hosts. This is now the essential way to run multiple Web services - each with
different host names and URLs - that appear to be completely separate sites.
This is widely used by ISPs, hosting sites and content providers who need to
manage multiple sites but do not want to buy a new machine for each one.
Picking an IP address
There are two types of virtual hosts: IP-based and non-IP-based. The former is
where each virtual host has its own IP address. You must have a new IP address
for each virtual host you want to set up, either from your existing allocation
or by obtaining more from your service provider. When you have extra IP
addresses, you tell your machine to handle them. On some operating systems, you
can give a single ethernet interface multiple addresses (typically with an
fconfig alias command). On other systems, you must have a different
physical interface for each IP address (typically by buying extra ethernet
cards).
IP addresses are a resource that costs money and are increasingly difficult to
get, so modern browsers can now also use 'non-IP' virtual hosts. This
lets you use the same IP address for multiple host names. When the server
receives an incoming Web connection, it does not know the hostname that was used
in the URL. However, the new HTTP/1.1 specification adds a facility where the
browser must tell the server the hostname it is using, on the Host: header. If
an older browser connects to a non-IP virtual host, it does not send the Host:
header, so the server must respond with a list of possible virtual
hosts. Apache provides some help for configuring a site for both old and new
browsers.
Picking a Hostname and Updating the DNS
Having selected an IP address, the next stage is to update the DNS so that
browsers can convert the hostname into the right address. The DNS is the system
that every machine connected to the internet uses to find the IP address of host
names. If your hostname is not in the DNS, no one can connect to
your server (except by the unfriendly IP address).
If the virtual hostname you are going to use is under your existing domain,
you can just add the record into your own DNS server. If the virtual hostname
is in someone else's domain, you must get them to add it to their DNS
server files. In some cases, you want to use a domain not yet used on the
internet, in which case you must apply for the domain name from the
InterNIC and set up the primary and secondary DNS servers for it, before adding
the entry for your virtual host.
In any of these cases, the entry you need to add to the DNS is an address record
(an A record) pointing to the appropriate IP address. For example, say you want
the domain www.my-dom.com to access your host with IP address 10.1.2.3: you
must add the following line to the DNS zone file for my-dom.com:
www A 10.1.2.3
Now, users can enter http://www.my-dom.com/ as a URL in their browsers and get
to your Web server. However, it will return the same information as if the
machine's original hostname had been used. So, the final stage is to tell Apache
how to respond differently to the different addresses.
How Apache Handles Virtual Hosts
Configuring Apache for virtual hosts is a two-stage process. First, it needs
to be told which IP addresses (and ports) to listen to for incoming Web
connections. By default, Apache listens to port 80 on all IP addresses of the
local machine, and this is often sufficient. If you have a more complex
requirement, such as listening on various port numbers, or only to specific IP
addresses, then the BindAddress or Listen directives can be used.
Second, having accepted an incoming Web connection, the server must be
configured to handle the request differently, depending on what virtual host it
was addressed to. This usually involves configuring Apache to use a different
DocumentRoot.
Telling Apache Which Addresses to Listen To
If you are happy for Apache to listen to all local IP addresses on the port
specified by the Port directive, you can skip this section. However, there are
some cases where you want to use the directives explained here:
- If you have many IP addresses on the machine but only want to run a Web
server on some of them
- If one or more of your virtual hosts is on a different port
- If you want to run multiple copies of the Apache server serving different virtual
hosts
There are two ways of telling Apache what addresses and ports to listen to:
- Use the BindAddress directive to specify a single address or port
- Use the Listen directive to any number of specific addresses or ports
For example, if you run your main server on IP address 10.1.2.3 port 80, and a
virtual host on IP 10.1.2.4 port 8000, you would use:
Listen 10.1.2.3:80
Listen 10.1.2.4:8000
Listen and BindAddress are documented on the Apache site.
Configuring the Virtual Hosts
Having gotten Apache to listen to the appropriate IP addresses and ports, the
final stage is to configure the server to behave differently for requests on
each of the different addresses. This is done using <VirtualHost> sections in
the configuration files, normally in httpd.conf.
A typical (but minimal) virtual host configuration looks like this:
<VirtualHost 10.1.2.3>
DocumentRoot /www/vhost1
ServerName www.my-dom.com
</VirtualHost>
This should be placed in the httpd.conf file. You replace the text
10.1.2.3 with one of your virtual host IP addresses. If you want to specify a
port as well, follow the IP address with a colon and the port number
(example: 10.1.2.4:8000). If omitted, the port defaults to 80.
If no <VirtualHost> sections are given in the configuration files, Apache
treats requests from the different addresses and ports identically. In terms of
setting up virtual hosts, we call the default behavior the main server
configuration. Unless overridden by <VirtualHost> sections, the main server
behaviour is inherited by all the virtual hosts. When configuring virtual
hosts, you must decide what changes to make in each of the virtual
host configurations.
Any directives inside a <VirtualHost> section apply to just that virtual host.
The directives either override the configuration give in the main server, or
supplement it, depending on the directive. For example, the DocumentRoot
directive in a <VirtualHost> section overrides the main server's DocumentRoot,
while AddType supplements the main server's mime types.
Now, when a request arrives, Apache uses the IP address and port it arrived on
to find a matching virtual host configuration. If no virtual host matches the
address and port, it is handled by the main server configuration. If it does
match a virtual host address, Apache uses the configuration of that virtual
server to handle the request.
For the example above, the server configuration used is the same as the
main server, except that the DocumentRoot is /www/vhost1, and the
ServerName is www.my-dom.com. Directives commonly set in <VirtualHost>
sections are DocumentRoot, ServerName, ErrorLog and TransferLog. Directives
that deal with handling requests and resources are valid inside <VirtualHost>
sections. However, some directives are not valid inside <VirtualHost> sections,
including BindAddress, StartSevers, Listen, Group and User.
You can have as many <VirtualHost> sections as you want. You can
leave one or more of your virtual hosts being handled by the main server, or
have a <VirtualHost> for every available address and port, and leave the main
server with no requests to handle.
VirtualHost sections for non-IP Virtual Hosts
Non-IP virtual hosts are configured in a very similar way. The IP address that
the requests arrive on is given in the <VirtualHost> directive, and the
host name is put in the ServerName directive. The difference is that there
(usually) is more than one <VirtualHost> section handling the same IP address.
For Apache to know whether a request arriving on a particular IP
address is supposed to be a name-based requests, the NameVirtualHost directive
addresses for name-based requests. A virtual host can handle more than one
non-IP hostname by using the ServerAlias directive, in addition to the
ServerName.

Trying to find Oracle HTTP Server (OHS)

I am trying to find a simple download of the Oracle HTTP Server on OTN but I can only find a version bundled with middlewear software.
I only need to run mod_plsql, so I don't need fusion middlewear installed.
Can anybody help me out?
Sincerely,
Marc de Oliveira

I remember it, but all signs are gone on the web site. Cannot for the life of me remember its name something like "Oracle HTTP Server"
is this it??
