How to install a browser plug-in really has nothing to do with Oracle Forms or even EBusiness. Information on how to install the plug-in is available in the JRE documentation:
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml
You can also post questions about installing a JRE on Linux in the Java (JRE) forum:

Error installing Forms/Reports Server on linux m/c having EBS R12 installed

Hi,
We are trying to install Forms and Reports server (Oracle Application Server 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) Forms and Reports Services) on a linux x86 box. The box already has Oracle E-business Suite R12 running on it. Our end goal is to install Oracle Transport Management (OTM), which requires Oracle Forms and Reports server to run its reports. When installing Forms and Report server I am getting following error. During installation, I gave a different set of ports to be used by Oracle Forms/Reports Apps server (and not the default) in staticports.ini and ensured that those ports are available. Any idea what could be the issue. If the issue is due to port conflict, how do I find which is the conflicting port. Also, is it possible to re-use Oracle Applications' Forms/Reports server for other applications like OTM.
Get the following error during installation of Oracle Application Server 10gR2 (10.1.2.0.2) Forms and Reports Services:
. Please also check the logs located at
ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs to determine why DCM was unsuccessful in updating
the configuration files on disk. Some possible causes are:
* permissions on files
* file contention issues on Windows NT
* internal Oracle error
After resolving the problem that prevented DCM from updating the configuration
files, you may use the dcmctl resyncInstance command to resolve the problem.
Alternatively, you can stop and then restart the active dcmctl or EMD
process and resyncInstance will automatically be performed.

So ...
After a lot of searches, it was necessary a help from a Weblogic Administrator to find out what was going on with the installation process. The problem was with the memory allocation to the Weblogic VM. The process EMGC_OMS1 could not be started cos it was not possible to create a VM into SERVERADMIN.
With just my DB experience I could not find any logs besides emctl.log and that one that it's shown in OEM Installler interface. The Weblogic Administrator was browsing the HOME where the Weblogic was installed and he found logs that showed the error telling where the problem was. Even downloading the OEM 12c 32bit, it was allocated memory to the java as if it was 64bit. The solution was decreasing the values of memory and clicking in Retry. So, my OEM Cloud Control 12c it's working now.

Forms Server Install on Redhat Linux 7.0

I am attempting to install Forms6i/Reports6i/Graphics6i on my Linux Box.
I already have a 8.1.6 Database configured and running.
After downloading the tar file and extracting it I am having trouble with the installation of the software. The Guide refers to running the orainstal shell script in the orinstall directory. Well when I execute the script I get a Character Installer and I was expecting the Java based Gui Installer such as the one with Oracle 8i DB. I cannot get the oraviewer program to work either for I wanted to see if there were some other setting I am not executing correctly.
When I continue with the Char Installer it has trouble finding a lib called X11m.a or something (Motif related).
Does Forms 6i require Motif? If so where and how do I get it for my Linux box? Are there any work arounds for this.
Any help is greatly apprecicated.
Thanks

Hello Shawn,
Yes, you need motif libraries. You can obtain it for free from: http://www.metrolink.com/products/Motif/download.html
I installed both runtime and development packages.
Aditionally you may ned to have X-devel packages installed.
After struggling with Forms installation on my linux machine I managed to do this, but let me tell you that it's not so simple. First of all please excuse my bad English, I'm not a native speaker. Anyway that's how I did it.
I assume that you downloaded the file d2k6irelease2.tar from technet. This file includes Forms 6i rel. 2 Server and Developer.
I managed to install this on my RedHat 7.1 machine having already installed Oracle 8.1.7 database Server.
First of I created a separate user which owns Forms Server software. I set this user as belonging to the same group ("dba" in my case) as the oracle database software owner. (On my machine I have "oracle" user which owns databse server belonging to the "dba" group and "forms" user belonging also to the "dba" group). You must set your environment like this (in ".bash-profile" in my case):
-- Begin .bash_profile file
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
unset LANG
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/forms
ORACLE_SID=forms
ORACLE_AUTOREG=$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk60/admin
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
ORACLE_TERM=vt220
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib
TWO_TASK=oratest
MMTK_AVIPLAYER="xanim %s &"
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
DISPLAY=TEST_MACHINE:0.0
export ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH TWO_TASK MMTK_AVIPLAYER
export TNS_ADMIN DISPLAY ORACLE_AUTOREG ORACLE_TERM ORACLE_SID
export BASH_ENV PATH
unset USERNAME
-- End .bash_profile file
As you can see I set up ORACLE_BASE to the same ORACLE_BASE as database software ORACLE_BASE, a new ORACLE_HOME, a dummy ORACLE_SID, TWO_TASK to the sid of your 8.1.6 server instance, TNS_ADMIN pointing to a directory which I created manually before starting the installer (see below my "tnsnames.ora" file under this manually created directory), ORACLE_AUTOREG, ORACLE_TERM, DISPLAY set to your_hostname:0.0, LD_LIBRARY_PATH as seen, MMTK_AVIPLAYER is for playing ".avi' files (I didn't tried this). You may need to "chmod 775" on your $ORACLE_HOME directory from the database user account.
-- Begin "tnsnames.ora" file
ORATEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = TEST_MACHINE)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = oratest)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
-- End "tnsnames.ora" file
I untared d2k6irelease2.tar under a subdirectory created under "forms" home directory. In "unixdoc/Server" directory you will find linux_svr.pdf instructions for installation of Forms server and under "unixdoc/Developer" you will find linux_dev.pdf instructions for Developer Server. "oraview" didn't worked for me either. GUI installer didn't worked for me either. Chnaging to orainst you may issue ./orainst command and start the installation in character mode (I did not even started an X session). I choosed default install, do not create database objects (I think you will be able to install later this objects by running some sql scripts, I didn't). And I choosed all components presented and all options and default port parameters. You will also be prompted to confirm locations of the motif libraries. I choosed http mode for forms server. Do not install Reports security feature (I've heard that it's not working, this option will be presented to you somewhere at the end of installation). After finishing you may need to edit "forms60_server" file and some other files. For example I had to change my "host_name.domain_name" (in my case was "TEST_MACHINE.(none)") to my IP address as I don't have a DNS server here.
That's what I did to test forms server:
I wanted to test my Forms server by running Apache web server (the one that is installed by default by linux). (in the documetation you will find references to the WebDB listener which as far as I know is no longer installed in release 2, so the documentation is obsolete regarding this module). For this you will have to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. Look for the section "Alias" and "AliasScript". under your forms $ORACLE_HOME/orainst you will find two files "forms6iconfig.txt" and "reports6iconfig.txt". You will find there actions to be performed by you manually. in "forms6iconfig.txt" file you will find virtual mappings for physical directories. You have to put this entries in "httpd.conf" file. You must edit this file as "root". For example 'Alias /dev60temp/ "/oracle/product/forms/tools/web60/temp/"'. The exception I made was for "/dev60cgi" virtaul mapping which I've put under ScriptAlias section 'ScriptAlias /dev60cgi/ "/oracle/product/forms/tools/web60/cgi/"'.
After succesfully editing the file you will ned to restart http server:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Login again as "forms" user.
In $ORACLE_HOME directory isuue:
$./forms60_server start
This will start your forms server listener.
After that you can test your forms server running from an external machine by entering: http://ip_addres_of_linux_machine/dev60html/runform.htm
and after completing parameters you will see "text.fmx" form applet saying that Forms server is installed corectlly or directly: http://ip_addres_of_linux_machine/dev60cgi/f60cgi
You have to install Jinitiator to view the applet. It will be prompted for you to download it when accessing the above address.
To be honest I was disapointed to see that forms server is very slow. And I mean very slow.
In the end please let me excuse if I wasn't clear in some points. If you have any questions please post them on the list. I'm not an expert and I may have made mistakes, but in the same time I hope this will help you setting up forms server on your linux box.
I forgot to mention that you will probably see a message saying that "formsweb.cfg was not found" when accesing "http://..../f60cgi". If you see this you have to options: either make a symlink "forms60" in the root directory to $ORACLE_HOME/forms60 directory or add a line in your "httpd.conf" file (I put this lines the last ones):
#Include 6iserver configuration file for setting formsweb.cfg path
include "/developer_home/conf/6iserver.conf"
And in $ORACLE_HOME create a directory named "conf". In this directory create a file named "6iserver.conf" and put the following line in it:
SetEnv FORMS60_WEB_CONFIG_FILE /developer_home/forms60/server/formsweb.cfg
This will set your environment correctly and you will be able to see the test form. Don't forget to restart apache web server and forms listener.
Kindly,
Codrut Octavian Popescu

I am using Mandriva Linux now and I have installed Firefox 6 but I could not install Java plugin with it. Can anyone please help me how to install it?

I am using Mandriva Linux now.
But I am using Firefox 3.6.8, but I cannot install java plugin in it.
Can anyone please help me how to install it?

The plugins folder in the Firefox installation folder doesn't exist by default. There is no default plugin in Firefox 4, so that folder would be empty and in thus not included. If you want to use that location then you need to create a plugins folder.
Did you try /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ?

Forms 11gR2 installed on linux (centos 6.3) cannot start

hello ervery one,
I installed weblogic 10.3.5 and jdk first ,and then installed forms11gR2 on my linux virtual machine.
I can not start up my forms builder .
it report an error: cannot find libjvm.so :cannot open shared object file ,no such file or directory.
the weblogic server can start normally.
what may be the reason and how can i fix it ?
lmw.

CentOS is not a supported operating system for 11g Forms/Reports - thus if you run into a brickwall on this, don't be surprised :)
Despite it not being supported, I have ran Forms Builder in an unsupported linux environment before. You likely just need to setup missing environment variables to get it to run, make sure the environment variables listed below are set. I'd probably do this in a little shell script to launch forms builder. However just a fair warning, the user interface isnt pretty when you run it on UNIX-based systems.
#MW_HOME: WebLogic Middleware home directory
export MW_HOME=/opt/oracle/middleware
#ORACLE_INSTANCE: Oracle Instance of your Forms/Reports Domain
export ORACLE_INSTANCE=$MW_HOME/asinst_1

Error while installing AVR Eclipse Plugin in Linux

Hello Everyone,
I got the latest lubuntu op system running and already installed Eclipse Platform Version: 3.8.1. I am new to linux and to eclipse too.
My goal is to use eclipse for AVR programming in linux environment. I tried to follow some tutorials. They say to follow these few steps.:
[Help] -> [Install new software] -> [Work with] :site link
After i have added that link eclipse says Could not find that site link
I actually tried another method which worked for me in windows. In Windows I added the content.jar file and could install the AVR plugin. I tried to do the same in linux. However i got the following error:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Artifact not found: jar:file:/home/kechua/Asztal/AVR%20Eclipse%20Plugin/artifacts.jar!/plugins/de.innot.avreclipse.core_2.4.2.jar. (...)
Is there a way to install AVR Eclipse Plugin in linux?

You should have the Marketplace Client feature installed.
Go to the Install New software, select your Eclipse base repository and look at General Purpose Tools -> Marketplace Client.
(The instructions are for Luna, I do not have older versions at hand).
Install it if it is missing and try again.
You may need to also install the GCC-AVR package from your Linux distribution repository.

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session.

The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards
