APEX and Oracle HTTP server

Scenario
We are considering using APEX with Oracle 10g. However, we don't have Oracle application server.At the same time we do not want to use the Oracle HTTP server(OHS) on the database server. The propsed application intend to use by approx. 5000 users
Questions
As APEX requires just OHS and mod_plsql plugin,
1. Can we install just Oracle HTTP server and mod_plsql on standalone server? Which CD need to be used?
2. Can OHS can be licensed separately as Oracle Internet application server(Enterprise Edition) based on processor licensing is expensive and not affordable.However, there are other options like Standard Edition and Standard Edition One as well but do not require any other options except OHS and mod_plsql plugin.Hence, what is the cost effective option to have OHS and mod_plsql as a middle tier component to deploy APEX applications
Thanks in advance

All,
I'm by no means a security expert, but I don't think this is a best practice. I think the best practice is to use two HTTP servers: one in the DMZ and one on the DB server. The one in the DMZ can be a standard Apache install - it acts as a proxy server and does not need mod_plsql. The second should be OHS. This configuration allows you to block ports that are usually used to communicate with the DB from the server in the DMZ.
Did I get that right or am I way off?

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.

ISQLPlus and Oracle HTTP Server

After I reinstalled Oracle 9i on Windows XP, I now get a a FastCGI server error whenever I attempt to launch Oracle HTTP Server: "Redefinition of previously defined FastCGI Server". How do I correct this? I uninstalled the database prior to reinstalling. Question 2: I also installed Oracle 9i on Windows 98 and Oracle HTTP Server appears NOT to be part of the install so I don't know how to make iSQLPlus work. Any ideas on either of these? I would prefer to work on Windows XP.

In answer to your first question, it may be answered in this SQL*Plus FAQ entry:
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/runtime.html#isql_duplicate_entries
In answer to your second question, I don't think iSQL*Plus is part of the Windows 98 install. I don't think you even have a database, just the Oracle Client.

Can you run Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and Oracle HTTP Server at the same time

Hi,
I know this will sound a bit odd but their is a business case for asking this. Can you run APEX via the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and the Oracle HTTP Server at the same time? Would their be any security/stability/etc issues I'd need to worry about? I know that I'll need to run them on different ports.
Thank you,
Martin Giffy D'Souza
[http://apex-smb.blogspot.com/]

I think I've done this in the past. Theres no technical reason why you can't do this as far as I know.
I can't remember if I used different ports or same port.

Error starting up ApEx's Oracle HTTP server

Hello.
I have just configured a brand new Oracle HTTP server on a brand new ApEx database. When I try to start the server, it doesn't start and I see errors in the log files.

I have substituted the domain name and the password for APEX_PUBLIC_USER account with <my domain here> and <my password here>, respectively, for security reasons.
When I check http://zemple.<my domain here>:7777, I get the standard Oracle HTTP Server page. But when I check http://zemple.<my domain here>:7777/pls/apex I get the "Page cannot be found" error.

The modplsql/logs directory is completely empty.
The stop and start of the http server is clean - no errors reported.
The main log in Apache/Apache/logs directory is not big, since it is a brand new install of the http server. Here is the complete log:

APEX without Oracle HTTP Server 10gR2

Guys,
I know that you can run APEX in Oracle XE without requiring to install an HTTP server.
But I have heard that the same is now true if you are using Oracle 10gR2.
Is this the case and if it is can you answer the following questions :
a) How is it done ?
b) How is it configured ?
c) Is this the way forward for APEX or do you still see the need for the HTTP Server ?
d) How would you migrate from an APEX application developed and deployed using an HTTP Server to one which does not ?
Any answers would be very helpful as I have a client who is extremely reluctant to install the Oracle HTTP server and I think that if you could use one which is within the database then that may win them over to APEX development.
Regards
Chris

Search the Oracle XE forum for dbms_xdb and dbms_epg, however, I don't know if it's possible to do what you want. You may need to run XE.

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..

Is my configuration correct? PHP and Oracle HTTP server

Hi all,
I have a single server running RHEL5 x86-64 and Oracle 11.1. I also have the Oracle HTTP Server which purportedly has "PHP support".
I am trying to do a basic test connect to my database, but I'm getting an error.
My test is the following:
<html>
PHP Test with Oracle<head>
<body>
<pre>
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger', 'myserver/MYDBSERVICE');
if (!$conn) {
trigger_error("Could not connect to database", E_USER_ERROR);
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>When I open the page, I see the following:
PHP Test with Oracle
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: oci_connect() in /u01/app/oracle/product/HTTP_Server/ohs/htdocs/phptest/dtest4.php on line 6
I've also tried phpinfo() and get the following:
oci8
OCI8 Support      enabled
Revision      $Revision: apache_modules/mod_php/4.3.9/ext/oci8/oci8.c#0 $
Oracle Version      10.1
Compile-time ORACLE_HOME      /ade/svadugur_mjoyphp4311/oracle
Libraries Used      no value
Any idea what may be going on? I've looked through much documentation already before posting to no avail.
Thank you for any insight.

The oci_* names were introduced in PHP 5. In PHP 4 the equivalent connection command is ocilogon(). For other mappings see Appendix C of the free book http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html
I'd recommend you upgrade PHP. See "Installing OCI8 with Oracle Application Server on Linux" on p 76 of that book. Note the warnings.

What is the realtion Fusion Middleware and Oracle HTTP Server?

Hi,
Can someone explain me why is WebLogic necessary to administrate graohically the Oracle 11g HTTP Server?
What means what I found in the documentation:
"To display Fusion Middleware Control, you enter the Fusion Middleware Control
URL, which includes the name of the WebL
ogic Administration Server host and the
port number assigned to
Fusion Middleware Control during the installation"
Does this means that Weblogic need to be installed and configured?
Kind regards.

Hi,
If you want to control OHS via GUI then deploying Oracle Enterprise Manager FMW Control is the only option.
And for the same you need to have weblogic, bcoz OEM FMW control would be deployed as an application on the weblogic server.
If you are going to use other products in FMW stack (Example: Forms and reports services 11g), then complete administration would be done through FMW control.
Monitoring and administering your weblogic clusters, ohs, webcache everything can be done though single interface.
Please do not go with assumption that only from GUI all these things can be done, command line is the best thing and the option is there.
Consider this only as an enhancement.

Nithin R

Example of a successful reverse proxy to APEX using Apache and Oracle HTTP

If this helps anyone, I was able to set up a reverse proxy to APEX with Apache running on the reverse proxy server and Oracle HTTP server and APEX 3.2 on the APEX hosting server. I want to post this due to there is no
documentation on this that I can find. Oracle Metalink could not produce any "How To" document either.
On the reverse proxy server in the httpd.conf file:
ProxyRequests Off
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0.1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
ProxyPassReverse /pls/apex/ http://apex_server:8080/pls/apex/
ProxyPass /pls/apex/ http://apex_server:8080/pls/apex/
ProxyPassReverse /i/ http://apex_server:8080/i/
ProxyPass /i/ http://apex_server:8080/i/
AddType text/xml .xbl
AddType text/x-component .htc
OR
ProxyRequests off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/pls/apex/(.*)$ http://apex_server:8080/pls/apex/$1 [P,NE]
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPassReverse /i/ http://apex_server:8080/i/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/i/(.*)$ http://apex_server:8080/i/$1 [P,NE]
And in the Oracle HTTP server httpd.conf file of the APEX hosting server:
NameVirtualHost 999.99.99.9:8080
<VirtualHost 999.99.99.9:8080>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "/u01/app/ora11g/product/11.1.0/http_1/ohs/htdocs"
ServerName reverse_proxy_server.com
</VirtualHost>

Here is what I saw :
I have one Web Server 7.0 instance with the following obj.conf :
<Object name="default">
<If $uri =~ "/xyz">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/" name="reverse-proxy-/xyz" to="/"
</If>
<ElseIf $uri =~ "/abc">

<Object name="reverse-proxy-/xyz">

/abc/test1.html : the request gets served from server1 from docs/abc/test1.html.
/xyz/test2.html : the request gets served from server2 from docs/xyz/test2.html
Where as when you change obj.conf to (note the change in "from" parameter in "map" SAF)
<Object name="default">
<If $uri =~ "/xyz">
NameTrans fn="map" from="/xyz" name="reverse-proxy-/xyz" to="/"
</If>
<ElseIf $uri =~ "/abc">

Installing Oracle HTTP Server WITHOUT Universal Installer?

On my computer (Win XP, DB 10.1.0.4) the Universal Installer that comes with the Companion CD still fails at startup. So I installed HTML DB from the htmldb_2.0.zip file.
But what about the HTTP Server? How can install it without using the OUI?
The response file from the Companion CD offers only these two choices:
- Oracle HTML DB and Oracle HTTP Server
- Oracle HTML DB only
I have to admit that I don't really fancy the idea of installing HTML DB again via response file...
Any ideas?

Sabine,
Do you use an intel pentium 4?Yes. Do you think that bug is still around?No, I was confusing it because just recently I installed 8.1.7 on my XP machine and ran into that bug. It shouldn't affect a 10.x install.
What is the error message you get? Or does it just
crash?The windows error message "The oui.exe found a
problem and need to be closed." ("oui.exe hat ein
Problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden") Tough. Not much information.
Do you have anything special set up on your machine, firewall, cluster, etc.? How much RAM?
Sometimes the setup.exe didn't work for me. There is another oui.exe in the "install" subdirectory. Please try this one.
If you don't get any further I would suggest to open an iTar with Oracle Support.
If you had more specific error messages perhaps we can find something.
Please look in c:\programme\oracle\inventory\logs whether you can find more information.

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}+.

Vista and 10g Http server +apex 3.0.1 Please help

previous unanswered post about not being able to find correct installation method.
I've setup 10gR2+Http server, installed apex 3.0.1 then copied images but from this point on cannot start http server with error 13 in app. log file.
10gEX + apex 3.0.1 works perfectly but my client will need more than 4GB of storage so wanted to upsize.
I've modified dads.conf and all other files as per guide but now http server is giving a '404' error. Should it be marvel.conf?
Can still access EM for 10g
Have checked alllocations for log files but none are being generated.
Have I broken HTTP server?
Please help or give some guidance as I have done this 9 times now without success!
Thanks
Marotuff

Hi.
Oracle HTTP Server is part of a separate download, the Application Server 10g Realease 3:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/index.html
In the 'For Deployment" section, download the proper Zip File for Windows (It took an hour on my machine) and unzip to a writable folder on your server.
Then you must use the Universal Installer to install.
Choose 'Advanced Install" and choose the HTTP Server option.
Make sure to read the Installation Guide. Good Luck.
