Choosing an HTTP Server

I have been reading the Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g Release 1 (11.1) for Linux. On pg 4-13 it has the heading "Choosing an HTTP Server". Within that section it talks about the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway and Oracle HTTP Server. I'm not seeing anything that helps me to choose an HTTP Server.
What criteria should I consider? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gregory

OK, I have decided to try the Oracle HTTP Server. Now, where can I find it? I have downloaded the Installation file linux.x64_11gR1_database.zip rather than getting the CDs from Oracle. However, according to the installation guide "Starting with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle HTTP Server is available on a separate media shipped with Oracle database. In the previous releases, this product was available as a Companion CD component."
From the Oracle Download site I have selected linux.x64_11gR1_examples.zip, which is listed as "Oracle Database 11g Examples (formerly Companion)" since I couldn't see anything that clearly indicated which download might have the HTTP Server on it. When I ran the installer that came with that download, there is no mention of the HTTP Server.
Is the HTTP Server available in a download? Where should I get the HTTP Server from?
Thanks,
Gregory

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

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.

Where to locate HTTP Server for use with Oracle Express 10g and Apex?

Hello,
Im a newbie and I downloaded oracle express 10g and Apex 3.2.1. The Apex install is referencing "choosing a HTTP Server" specifically "Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql and the embedded PL/SQL Gateway". My question is do the HTTP server or PL SQL embedded Gateway come with the 10g install or do I need to download them seperately? If so where can I locate them?
Thank you!

user12027813 wrote:
If using Oracle XE, then which APEX install scenario would I used if I downloaded both the XE and apex from the OTN?Oracle XE includes APEX 2.1 and uses the PL/SQL Gateway for HTTP service work. No separate HTTP Server is required.
If, after you install XE, you want to upgrade to APEX 3.x, you would select the PL/SQL Gateway for the upgrade.
If the PL/SQL Gateway (EPG) does not provide the full set of services you need, you could put a regular Apache in front and redirect to APEX for those specific issues.
If that is to complicated, then you could license Oracle Application Server Standard Edition 1 (for a fee) to get an Oracle HTTP Server and it's mod_plsql to replace the internal EPG.

Oracle http Server (standalone)

I am going to install APEX 3.2 and as the pre-requisite, I need to install standalone Oracle HTTP server. In checking thru the Oracle web-site, it only appears under the integrated Oracle SOA Suite 10g.
I have checked that some of the old version of APEX 2.2 just in need of standalone Oracle HTTP server. But for the sake of the pre-requisite of APEX 3.2, it is Oracle Application Server 10g.
My questions are:-
- Is there any standalone Oracle HTTP server to be downloaded and installed?
- Any installation guide for Oracle HTTP server or Oracle SOA Suite 10g?
- In the installation of Oracle SOA Suite 10g, can it be extracted with installing Oracle HTTP server or it has to install all the components of SOA Suite?
Thanks for sharing your experience.

3.2 Choosing an HTTP Server
In order to run, Oracle Application Express must have access to either the embedded PL/SQL gateway or Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql. To learn more, see "About Choosing an HTTP Server".
This is from Oracle's documentation so you do need BOTH.

3 HTTP Server. which to choose?

I have installed db11gR2 and upgraded APEX to version 4 on my Linux server with EPG.
There are 3 kind of HTTP Server
Oracle HTTP Server
Embedded PL/SQL Gateway
APEX Listner
I installed EPG, but after installation of this, I found and I read that
The EPG is convenient for smaller configurations. The EPG is not recommended for larger scale production use cases or Internet facing applications.
and yet
For this reason, it is not recommended to use the embedded PL/SQL gateway for applications that run on the Internet. Additionally, the embedded PL/SQL gateway does not provide the same flexibility of configuration and detailed logging as Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql.
So I ask myself 'maybe I'm wrong and I had to install another'.
So, Could someone tell me what the most appropriate in a production company with 300 end users and internet access, or pointing me a link where I can find info on this topic.
Thanks in advance!

"However, now I begin to use EPG with Apex, I'm a beginner with Apex, then believe I can uninstall and configure the OHS (the 11g Fusion I think).
Is it true, I can de-install Epg and configure OHS?"
You don't actually need to uninstall the EPG, just follow the installation instructions for OHS to connect to your existing Apex installation. I think OHS is your best bet for external facing Apex applications. I'm much less interested in the Apex Listener since support for Tomcat was dropped which is our Java container of choice.
If you want to turn off the EPG it is as simple as SQL> exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(0)
This command shows you what the current port is set to and will also show with a -> >$ lsnrctl status
SQL> select dbms_xdb.gethttpport from dual;
8888
On a separate note can anyone point to any real issues with the EPG?? It is my generally preferred choice for smallish intranet type applications (ie rman> backup database; - really does backup the entire application and data). I keep reading it is not recommended but without seeing any real details of why. My only real issue so far has been trying to read HTTP headers in the XE EPG but otherwise it seems to work well for my needs.

HTTP server code 404 reason Not Found explanation Not Found

could you provide an explanation on this error.

Hi
Go through this
Error: 404 Not Found
Description: The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
Possible Tips:- for HTTP_RESP_STATUS_CODE_NOT_OK 404
404 is an HTTP response code that indicates that the resource in question couldn't be found. Usually this is due to an incorrect URL, so it is better to cross check all URLs. Check pipeline URL in the SLD in the business system of the Integration Server For this go to SLD->Business System-><yourIntegrtaion Server>->Pipeline URL: It should be like this http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry Where host is the host name of the Integration Server and port is the HTTP(8xxx) port. To verify this in Integration Server you can do like this. Go to SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Choose Edit from Menu -> Change Global Configuration Data to switch to change mode. Then select System Landscape - Load Configuration. (This is not required always)
Check that the port really is the ICM HTTP Port and not the J2EE port i.e SMICM then menu GOTO --> SERVICES and check the port number for HTTP. It should be HTTP port
If the error is Page cannot be displayed, cannot find server in https configurations Check and correct the SSL configuration for the ABAP and the J2EE side of the system
If the error is because of integration server when using Proxy communications then check these. i.e SXMB_ADM->Integration Engine Configuration->Corresponding Integration Server enrty should be dest://<Http Integration server-Destination> Where < Http Integration server -Destination > is the RFC destination (SM59) of type HTTP connection (type H) to the Integration Server. In this case, host name, port, and path prefix are saved in the RFC destination.

Http server code 401 reason Unauthorized explanation Unauthorized

Hello to you all,
I have a SRM-XI-SUS scenario and I try to connect to SUS with XI but I am facing the follwoing issue:

Can someone guide me towards a solution?
Kind regards,

I am not intimate with the SRM-SUS integration via XI, but based on the business scenario configuration guide (https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700002897402004E/ServiceProcurementNEW.pdf) it seems that communication between SRM and SUS via XI takes place via proxies. Assuming that's what you're trying to do, to communicate to SUS via proxies, you would need to use the adapter type (XI). The communication is still technically over HTTP, but using the XI messaging protocol.
The use of an sm59 destination is optional. The XI type communication channel allows addressing types of "URL Addressing" or "HTTP Destination". If you choose the latter, you would need a sm59 destination of type H and then refer to it from the channel.
Try using a XI type receiver channel instead. If you run into additional problems, check the "XI Settings" section of the guide above.

HTTP Server - what to select

Hi,
While installing APEX I see below instruction -
2.3 HTTP Server Requirements
In order to run, Oracle Application Express you must have access to one of the following:
Oracle Application Express Listener
Embedded PL/SQL gateway
Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql
Not clear on what these option are and what to choose. I don't know about java. I have installed Oracle in my system with default database. Can someone tell me what to choose here? Many thanks.

Which version and edition of DB? Version of Apex?
If you are using XE then EPG is already installed and good for you. And will recommend not to bother about other choices till get more familiar with Apex.
The choice has more to do with what you already have installed, the available infrastructure ,licensing costs,etc.
At a broad level
a. Simplest out of the box : EPG. Good for learning and dev, not the best choice for Prod
b. ApexListener. Standalone or with J2EE container. Standalone to learn , with J2EE for something more serious.
c. OHS: If you already have OHS installed or some reasons to use it. It runs fine and has been around longer. Its just that Apexlistener is the one developing faster.

Install Http Server in ORACLE 10g 10.2.0.3

Hi, before i had Oracle XE 10.2.0.1 and Apex 3.2 both worked ok. Now remove Oracle XE and APEX 3.2 and then installed ORACLE 10g 10.2.0.3 and Apex 4.0, but when i try to login to apex http://server:8080/pls/apex/apex_admin the login page not appears.
Before run apex with OC4J from developer suite 10g, but now i need to install some particular http server with the companion cd or something like that.
I guess i have to install http server and xml database from companion cd but which option have to choose.
Regards

Pl post details of your OS. If you installed 10.2.0.3, you will also need to install the HTTP server from the companion CD.

Need to upload Cxml file to HTTPS Server- cannot use SFTP

WE have a need to use SSIS to first watch for the creation of the CXML file ( I'll use File Watcher) then use some web services to upload this to a secure HTTPS Server. What I am reading from these posts is that the built in web services task in SSIS 2012
only is usable for a HTTP server for upload? IS this Correct? If so what are my options to post to a HTTPS Server?? Do we need to script this entire process?? Any third party components available??
Thanks KAM

I don't see SSIS frankly being here a good fit.
These tasks are better done via a .net app or PowerShell.
If you do choose to go with SSIS yes, you need to do some Googling/Bing to find a good example on Script Task that again contains pure .net code to run the HTTPS WebService call (it is an oxymoron IMO).
Then beware that the built in FileWatcher (into SSIS) requires the package restarted after a file processed, again a minus for using SSIS.

Apex on linux - when and how to install http server

1. I installed 10g Release 2 Enterprise Edition on Vmware Linux on my laptop,
2. I pathced database to 10.2.03,
3. then I downloaded and installed Apex 3.0.1 on them.
I thought Http Server will be coming with Apex 3 installation, but I understand that I needed to install that one between the first and second steps?
So I can not be sure if I will ruin everything if I install Oracle Http Server from the companion cd as the fourth step?
Also I would be so glad to have a reference like dizwell installation guides for apex on linux if there is any, I couldn't find up to now :(
Thank you for your guidance.

I started installer from companion cd, and choosed 10g companion products(not htmldb) option since http server is listed at the bottom.
Installation finished on a new Oracle home successfuly but I can not find the *.conf files or opmn/bin folder under this new Oracle Home.
I must be missing something :)

APEX from version 2.0 works in 2 modes:
1) using HTTP server, but in version 3.x is not installed within instalation of APEX
2) using XML DB feature - it must be installed within instalation standard Oracle -
(Oracle XML DB HTTP listener with the embeded PL/SQL gateway)
APEX 3.x you can launch over these links (port would be 8080)
http://host:port/apex/apex_admin
http://host:port/apex

Trex Index could not be created HTTP server error: 503 (Errorcode 7266)

Hi Friends,
I have installed EP6.0 SP15 on one machine and Trex 6.1 on another machine.All the services are green in the Trex monitor.And also i am able to get a reply from http://host:30205/TrexHttpServer/TREXISAPIExt.dll?CMD=PING.Connection sucessful.While creating my first index in Index Administration i get this error message.
"Index could not be created; creating index failed: HTTP server error: 503 (Errorcode 7266)."
Please tell me as to what steps i am missing and also where can i see the log message in portal.
Thanks
Sidharath

hi friends,
I went through the settings of trex services on server and found out that even after installing IIS 6.0 it was showing the path of Apache that that is i think the reason that httpserver is green but it is not using the CPU resources.I will share the setting with you.
[queueserver]
executable=TREXQueueServer.exe
arguments=-port 30204
startdir=C:\usr\sap\trex_02
starttime=5000
instances=1
#hp_32:environment=_M_ARENA_OPTS=1:256,_M_SBA_OPTS=512:100:16
As the executable for queserver is there so it is using cpu resources.
[apache]
executable=httpd
arguments=-d C:\usr\sap\trex_02/Apache -R C:\usr\sap\trex_02/Apache/libexec -F
startdir=C:\usr\sap\trex_02/Apache/bin
instances=1
As there is no folder for apache in trex installation so i think it is not working.Please check the setting in Trex Administration->Configration->Choose name server and on the right botton of it is edit services.Double click it and you will see the settings as i have shown above.Please share the settings with me as i will be then able to work with trex.
Do i have to install Apache instead of IIS6.0.Please guide me.

How outlook choose a CAS server

Hi all,
I would like to ask how outlook choose a CAS server? For example, if I have 2 sites to deploy exchange server, 1 in hk 1 in russia. How would outlook choose to connect to which CAS server for exchange 2010. For exchange 2013, should it be connected
to the active mailbox database copy? Thanks
Best Regards,
Elroy

Hi,
Client Access Server for Outlook provides the Autodiscover service, Web services (Autodiscover, availability and OAB) and RPC over HTTPS.
Outlook 2007 first searches for the SCP in AD which contains the URL to the Autodiscover service, if more than one SCP object is found in Active Directory which means there are mulitiple CAS servers in the Exchange organization. It will sort the list of
available SCPs by Site Affinity that match the site the Outlook's mailbox is located in. One of two lists is created, an in-site list or an out-of-site list. The list is not sorted in any particular order which is approximately in the order of oldest SCP records
(based on creation date) first. This is not related to the proximity. However, when retrieving the Web service (availability and OAB), It will decide which entry to return based on proximity and current availability. That means to contact Autodiscover maybe
use CAS which integrated with mailbox, and must use the CAS when retrieving other services.
Network Load Balancing is a supported method of doing this.
If there are mulitple CAS servers, for Outlook Anywhere (not logged into the domain), to even out the work load across multiple CAS servers which could offer Autodiscover services
Thanks & Regards
