HTTP Server: Stand-alone install

Is it possible to have the HTTP server that comes on the companion CD installed on a separate machine from the database (and APEX). I know this is possible with the application server but I cannot find in the doco whether the HTTP Server can stand on its own. A link to the appropriate docs would help. Thanks.

"j_70",
Yes - this is possible and supported. It is how apex.oracle.com is configured.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/install.300/b32468/post_inst.htm#BHAFJJDA
It's really just a matter of copying the images directory to the filesystem for use by Oracle HTTP Server, and then configuring a Database Access Descriptor. The PlsqlDatabaseConnectString lets you specify the host, which could be remote.

Discoverer Server stand alone or not?

Hello,
Can Discoverer Server share a server with any other application, or must it be a stand alone server? Would it effect another apllication if it was sharing a server?
Thanks,
Suzanne

discoverer server must now be installed with oracle 9iAS and can be run on a server that is housing other application or as a standalone server. it depends on the amount of users and the power in the box.

Http server error while installing 11.5.5 on winNT4.0 sp6

while installing 11.5.5 on winNT4.0 sp6
The servername is BIGPIG.
while installing oracle Apps it asks the DNS domain name I gave
it as 'localhost'. It allocates port no. 8001 for this.
Now if I open internet browser with http://bigpig.localhost:8001
it shows error.
where as if I open internet browser with http://localhost:8001
the webpage comes up. This webpage has somelinks if I click on
any one ,then it goes to http://bigpig.localhost:8001/.....and
shows error.
If I delete 'bigpig' and the link http://localhost:8001/....
then the link is working fine.
how to correct this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
P.Ratna Prasad

I have given a proper entry in hosts file. The same problem persists. How did you restart the installation? Did you clean your previous installation?
Might be because of corrupt zip files ?Could be. How did you create the stage area?

How can i install apple mobile devices as a stand alone install.

I have installed itunes a number of times but apple mobile devices won't install. What can i do?????

The Apple TV is the only device I've been able to find at this point that can handle video via AirPlay. So unless someone else knows of a device I haven't been able to find, you'll either need to get an Apple TV or, as Andreas suggested, connect to the projector via an adapter and cable.

10g Forms and Reports Stand-Alone Install for Demo Purposes

Hi,
My boss asked me to set-up an Oracle 9i (9.2.0.0) database and OracleAS 10g (9.0.4) Forms and Reports standalone on a laptop she wants to use to demonstrate our Forms and Reports application for a potential customer.
The laptop is P4 with 512MB RAM, running Windows 2K Pro.
Has anyone tried this before? Any suggestions appreciated.
TIA,
Jim

1GB of RAM seems to work better. I just upgraded to 1GB from 512MB on a new ThinkPad running XP, 10g release 2 database, and 10.1.2 Application Server (Forms and Reports version). When I had 512, something broke and I wound up resetting the factory defaults using the IBM recovery tool. When I added the extra memory, everything went well. On the other hand, a four-year-old Dell desktop with 512MB works okay. Whatever.

Oracle HTTP server could not be started.. Urgent.... help me!!!

Dear oracle professionals,
I've installed 9iAS in my win2000 server. and it was working well but yesterday when i started my oracle http server service it says the following error in a message box,
"Apache.Exe - Entry point not found
The procedure entry point OCIUserCallBackRegister could not be located in the dynamic link library OCI.dll "
and service failed without starting. my day to day operations in this server have been stopped now. anybody can help me noww????
Thanks in advance!!
Kathir

Hi,
what's the version of iAS you are using. If it is iAS v2, you shouldn't start / stop HTTP server stand-alone. You should use opmnctl script $ORCALE_HOME/opmn/bin. This "opmn" service is also listed in you win*2000 machines service list.
Hope that helps.

Server side script not running on stand-alone XE

Hello,
In my application I created a Server side script (AJAX) which presents a select-list based on other fields on the page. The very same application runs on a 10g+APEX3.0.1 database AND on a standard XE+APEX2.1 database, which are both accessed via a HTTP-server. The application with the script runs fine on this platform (XP).
I have two other XP-machines on which I also installed XE+APEX2.1. Both are stand-alone versions NOT accessed via a HTTP-server. I installed exactly the same application which runs on the platform with HTTP server on both of the machines. While testing the correct functioning, I noticed that everything works ok, EXCEPT the server side script which gives me a better select list. Instead of this I get the old-fashioned version of the select-list which is not able to use the value elsewhere on the page.
I found a similar problem on the XE forum (Re: Server side scripts features ) but it doesn't answer my question how to get the script working on a standalone version of XE (= without access via a HTTP-server).
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks & regards,
Jan.

Carl,
Thanks for your suggestion to install FireFox and the Firebug tool (which I wasn't aware of).
After having looked at the problem for hours, I found what I think is the problem: the htmldb_html_elements.js script.
As already mentioned, the properly functioning XE on my local PC is accessed via a HTTP-server, as well as the 10gR2+APEX3.0.1 version also running on that PC.
On the laptop, not running HTTP-server, I get the message: 
$x is not defined 
 f_21_select_kpn(input#P21_GBREKNR 405, "P21_KOSTENPOST") 
onblur(blur )
 
That is in the 'Console' of Firebug.
When changing to Script I do see a remarkable difference.
On the PC there the following text is found in the first lines of htmldb_html_elements.js:
/*htmld_elements will contain the lower level html access js*/ 
var gDebug = true; 
var gkeyPressTime; 
var gLastTab=false; 
var gRegex=false; 
var ie=(document.all)?true:false; 
if(ie){document.expando=true;} 
var gDebugWindow = false; 
/* 
$x functions have to do with either single elements or array of elements 
$v functions have to have to do with manipulating values or interaction based off a value 
$xml function have to do with manipulating xml values 
$a functions are based on ajax 
$d functions are specific dhtml constructs 
*/ 
/* begin $x functions */ 
function $x(pNd){ 
try{ 
var node; 
... 
On the laptop however the first few lines are: 
/*htmld_elements will contain the lower level html access js*/ 
 
var gDebug = true; 
var gkeyPressTime; 
var gLastTab=false; 
var gRegex=false; 
if(document.all){document.expando = true;} 
// Elements // 
 
function html_GetElement(pNd){ 
try{ 
var node; 
switch(typeof (pNd)){ 
... 
I think that the difference is in these two scripts.
But why are the scripts different: it is the same XE that is installed on the laptop and the PC. The answer I found in the images/javascript directory of APEX3.0.1 which is located in the APACHE directory-tree (you have to copy the images to APACHE when you use the HTTP-server). And indeed: the htmldb_html_elements.js has exactly the same text as what I see in Firebug on the PC. So XE on the PC is using the javascripts in the image-directory of APACHE on the PC and not the XE-version of the scripts, embedded in XE.
 
So the answer seems to be: copy the APEX3.0.1 versions of the script over to the PC and try to get them into the database. Or...???
 
Can it be loaded into the database? Will XE accept it?
 
Would be nice to have answers if the conclusion I found is the right one and if it can be fixed by loading the js into XE.
 
Best regards and thanks for your help so far.

Apache http server won't run - error 1067 - after installing forms

Hi, I succesfully installed the 9i on a Windows XP machine. I included the Apache HTTP server in the install. It all worked fine. Then I installed the Oracle development suite (rapid application development selection), and since cannot get the Apache server to run. It gives error 1067. On issueing "F:\oracle\ora90\Apache\Apache>apache.exe start -k" I get the following error: "Syntax error on line 14 of F:\oracle\ora90\rdbms\demo\aqxml.conf: Invalid command 'ApJServGroupMount', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration".
Any ideas?? I amnew to both Oracle and Apache. Thanks for any help offered.

did you install the development suite on a different Oracle home? In case it is on its own oracle home, it happens that the new install overwrites the PATH environment variable and sets the path of the new oracle home prior to the previously installed oracle home, this could affect old oracle home, since it will be looking for libraries and executables at the wrong OH. Change back the PATH environment variable, so the old OH is referred first.
Start once more the oracle http server, first by means of the windows service, and verify the httpd.pid file doesn't exist prior to attempt restarting it.

To install Oracle HTTP Server only

Hi,
I already installed Apex (3.0) in an Oracle database a while ago. I have used our Oracle iAS 10.1.2 as the application server. Now, I would like to install the Oracle HTTP Server in the database server and use it to run Apex. With the 10g companion CD, there is not any option to install the Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 1.3) only. Is there any way that I can install the Oracle HTTP Server only without installing Apex again? Where can I download it?
Also, I heard that there is a version of Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2) bundled with Oracle 11g. Can I use it for Apex 3.0?
Thanks.
Andy

Hi,
See:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html
Here you have the option, to install HTTP only
Kind regards,
Iloon
PS: be aware this cd contains apex 1.6 ;-)

Just installed HTML DB on 9i, can I just use 10G HTTP server?

I just installed html db from my 10G release 2 dvd (on a machine that only has 9.2.0.6 on it), and went thru the steps outlined on http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_use9ir2ohs.html
I installed the schema SYSAUX in an existing 9i database.
When I went to start the 9i http server it errors out and seems to not be working on this server, so rather than troubleshoot this can I not just use the 10G http server that was installed?
If so, I am a complete newbie at this so where might I find a good howto on getting started with HTML DB, I just want to play with it for now, but my eventual goal is to start migrating our MSAccess apps into Oracle and using this as a front end.
thanks in advance!

Thanks Sergio, I think I will uninstall it and start again from the link you gave me, I am curious though, on why it has you download the htmldb and unzip/install it manually etc. when it is an option on the 10GR2 dvd shown?
If I recall correctly, the HTML DB option included the http server already, or is it just the preferred method to install the apache server standalone and HTML DB manually?

Urgent!!! A question about p6.7 stand alone

I had P6.7 stand alone installed and have used it for a while. Last week, I suddenly couldn't login. After I entered password and clicked Login, and when "loading data" came to 99%, error message popped up and task ended itself, not able to enter into Primaver interface.
I decided to reinstall. I didn't uninstall the existing one. I just run R8.2 set up and tried to upgrad based on the existing 6.7 version. During the installation, up until the step “Creating PM database.....might take a few minutes.......”, I waited for more than 2 hours but the message still there and nothing happened. I didn't think it was good and I ended the installation.
Next, I went to Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs, uninstalled "Oracle database" and "Primavera 6". I changed back to P6.7. During the installtion, it was unfortunately the same as before, up until the step “Creating PM database.....might take a few minutes.......”, I waited again for more than 2 hours, but the message still there and nothing happened. I ended the installation again. In addition, I found "Oracle database" and "Primavera 6" were in Start Menu and the directory I choosed during the installtion. However, in Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs, there was only Oracle Database, no Primaver 6.
And then, I uninstalled the Oracle Database from Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs and tried to reinstall again. But I got the same bad luck. I repeated this process for a few times without success.
Who knows a SOLUTION? Much much appreciated.

Hello, well the Oracle Xe database is not the same that the Primavera database. If you already installed Oracle XE, go to Start menu --> Oracle XE --> Go to database homepage. Try to log in with "system" and the password that you configured in p6 installation. Go to Users, if you only have 1 user, that means that p6 database is not installed, and you need to created manually (probably windows configuration is blocking the .bat file)
to create the database manually check http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16688_01/Product_Manuals/adminguide.pdf , Section:Automatically Installing an Oracle Database and Loading Application Data, page 49
And once the database is created, you need to configure the alias (connection between p6 and the database) (click on ellipsis button, add, select your name and driver type, for database connection string use XE, type your public user (eg: pubuser) , finish and try to log into p6

Diff was java add in and stand alone java instance

Hi Guys ,
What is the diff between was java add in and stand alone java instance ?
Thanks
Sonam

Hai,
SCS is nothing but the SAP Central Services, it is AS Java instance of an SAP system containing the enqueue server and the message server.
JAVA Addin is inserted in exsisting ABAP only instance to have JAVA functionality. JAVA instance is assigned to an ABAP instance. The Internet Communication Manager (ICM) of the ABAP instance starts and stops the associated Java instance as required.
Netweaver JAVA (Stand alone) vs JAVA Addin:
Netweaver JAVA Addin installation is a dual installation that consists of Java and ABAP stack. Addin is required when you are implementing SAP XI (Exchange Infrastructure). Stand alone JAVA is required when you implement SAP EP (Enterprise Portal). It is generally not recommended to use dual installation for EP because this will expose the ABAP layer to the public Internet. So the ABAP stack is often used to host SAP ERP ECC (Enterprise Central Component), SAP CRM, SAP SCM, etc.,
Since the information hosted on ABAP stack is more sensitive in nature you are recommended to install Portal on the Netweaver AS Java server (Stand alone JAVA server).
By doing this you will be able to fully utilize the system resources for the portal and ensure good performance.

Apex Newbie question !!!!! HTTP server ????

I am newbie at APEX. I have a DBA background, but no experience with Oracle applications.
I DO respect your time, and have tried to find this info on teh docs, but, honestly, can not find it. And I looked over everywhere, metalink, otn, gogling. I thought that I would find it on these forums under some form of FAQs, but have not found the answer :-(
I have installed oracle database 11g for windows on my laptop, and when installing APEX 3.2, it asks me to stop the http server and ..... :-)
Now, I have a question regarding the Oracle HTTP server, which is supposed to be isntalled with the 11g, instead of the Companion CD, which no longers exist.
First question. We have a http server that is used by oracle EM database control, correct ? I do not see a service for it on the Services list. Teh apex application install asks for stopping/starting the http server. How do we do that ? AND, where the the http server binaries located ? I did a search for apache, and found it under C:\app\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\perl\site\5.8.3\lib\Apache, but no binaries there, or under ORACLE_BASE\bin either.
What do I setup for ORACLE_HTTPSERVER windows environment on a brand new 11g database install ?
Now, I see that we can get HTTP server from BEA install. I was trying to keep APEX from using a web server tier here. To me, the beauty of APEX is to not have to manage BEA, or any other tier. Keep it simple, at least for development, and keep everything on the DB, and simply use the native HTTP server.
So, this is a VERY basic question, but how do I do that ? I will worry about what I can and can not do with the native HTTP server or BEA later. I just want to get this up and running so that I can start playing with it.
Thanks,
Henrique

Here is my latest update before I go to bed :-(
I was able to install the HTTP server, but had some issues later down on the apex install.
C:\app\oracle\product\10g-iAS-http-server\opmn\bin>opmnctl status
Processes in Instance: IAS-1
--------------------------------------------------------------+---------
ias-component | process-type | pid | status
--------------------------------------------------------------+---------
HTTP_Server | HTTP_Server | 5204 | Alive
I am able to see the welcome page for the web server here
http://localhost:7777/
I am able to reset the admin password, ( by the way, I did setup the gateway as well :-) ). I am not sure what happens when you have both the gateway and the web server setup. Now, when try to login to the apex admin account using either
http://localhost:7777/apex/apex_admin or
http://localhost:7777/pls/apex/apex_admin, nothing happens besides a HTTP-404 error.
Now, when I had the port set to 8080, via the commands
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETHTTPPORT(8080);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT DBMS_XDB.GETHTTPPORT FROM DUAL;
GETHTTPPORT
8080
and try to login again here
http://localhost:7777/pls/apex/apex_admin
I do get a prompt, but when i enter admin, and the password I have setup, it does not allow me to get in :-(
Now, I need some explanation of this DAD file, as I am not sure if I need it to simply login during install. Here is the man page from the install doc :
3.4.11.1 Creating a Workspace Manually
To create an Oracle Application Express workspace manually:
Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. Oracle Application Express Administration Services is a separate application for managing an entire Oracle Application Express instance. You log in using the ADMIN account and password created or reset during the installation process.
In a Web browser, navigate to the Oracle Application Express Administration Services application.
If your setup uses Apache and mod_plsql, go to:
http://hostname:port/pls/apex/apex_admin
Where:
hostname is the name of the system where Oracle HTTP Server is installed.
port is the port number assigned to Oracle HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 7777.
pls is the indicator to use the mod_plsql cartridge.
***apex is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the mod_plsql configuration file.***
Here it mentions this DAD file, and I am not sure if I need it now, and even, how to reference it. My database name is called apex, but I do not have anything on my dads.conf file. Should I have something there ? I see a sample such as this from the README.DADs file :
<Location /plsqlapp>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseUsername scott
PlsqlDatabasePassword tiger
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString orcl
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlDefaultPage scott.home
PlsqlDocumentTablename scott.wwdoc_document
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
PlsqlDocumentProcedure scott.wwdoc_process.process_download
</Location>
It is a bit late tonite. Tomorrow I will get back at it.
Thanks for any help, but I must be doing something really obvious to you guys here, and I can't see it :-(
Cheers,
Henrique
