Installation of HTMLDB 1.6.1

I'm having a problem with installing HTMLDB 1.6.1. I'm running Oracle 9.2.0.6 on Windows 2003. I try to create a workspace by specifying a name, selecting an existing schema, and entering the information for provisioning (name, email). When I click the "Next" button, I get a "The requested URL /pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server" message. In the Apache error log is I get te message, "mod_plsql: /pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept HTTP-404 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at line 10".
I'm stuck. What else can I check?
Thanks,
David

Thorsten,
Are you sure this is the only thing that changed that enabled you to install successfully? I consulted with our German colleagues (who routinely install on native German Windows) and they have never had to change the NLS_LANG.
Just curious.

Where is the virtual images directory for an ORACLEXE HTMLDB installation?

Hi,
I've already got a standalone installation of HTMLDB which has an /images/ directory on my file server containing all gifs/themes/templates/css files etc. I've created an application that I'm going to use for my business and I've changed some of the underlying giff's and css files.
On another machine I've just installed Oracle Express Edition (as it's free for commercial use) which has an integrated HTMLDB environment, that is the same as the standalone one as far as I can tell, except that it does not appear to have an /images/ directory stored on the file system??
I've done a complete search and nothing is found. If I type http://127.0.0.1:8080/i/ into my web browser all the files and directories are displayed! Does any one know the location of these files or how the HTTP listener is translating /i/?
I need to mod these existing files in order to correctly display my business application from my other standalone installation of htmldb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kev

Hi Kev,
you can find detailed instructions here: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html
I'll update the instructions if you have more questions,

Can't import an application into HTMLDB.

I cannot import an application into HTMLDB. I have tried small applcations and even the sample application that comes with HTMLDB. The apache logs give me the error 'HTTP-404 ORA-00904: "CONTENT": invalid identifier' no matter what I try to import. This installation of HTMLDB is installed on a 10g database (10.1.3) and is using the Apache server from a 10gAS installation (9.0.4). We have several htmldb installations on 9.2.0.4 databases using both 10gAS(9.0.4) Apache and 9.0.3 Apache. This is the only installation that gives us any problem. All of our HTMLDB installations are 1.6.1.00.02. There are no invalids in the flows_01600 schema. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue.

I have created a dad on 9.0.3, and the import works. The dad in both are identical to what I can see. The 10gAS Apache logs has a preceding error message, here is the complete error messesages generated by the 10gAS Apache server when I try to import an application :

Installation 10g and Apex on different server

Hallo,
I trying to install Oracle 10g Standard Edition on one server and the Oracle HTTP Server with HtmlDB/Apex on another one.

HTMLDB ORA-1017 with a twist

hi
we've installed HTMLDB on Linux several times and got it working eventually. i've read all the FAQ (i think!). But on this most recent installation of HTMLDB on linux redhat I have encountered a problem I cannot fix or find any solution to.
We complete a full and error-free install.
But I am getting an error when I try to load the HTMLDB admin pages.
http:\\server:7779 - gives me the welcome page
http:\\server:7779\pls\htmldb - gives me
403 - Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /pls/htmldb/htmldb on this server.
The apache log line reads:
[Tue Mar 21 14:00:24 2006] [notice] Accept mutex: fcntl (Default: sysvsem)
[Tue Mar 21 14:00:30 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.211] [ecid: 1142949629:127.0.0.1:20856:0:2,0] mod_plsql: /pls/htmldb/htmldb HTTP-403 ORA-1017
So there is my ORA-1017 error, which implies that the HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER password is wrong. So i do the following:
1) ALTER USER on the database, reset the password to a simple string.
2) Supply the same password in the marvel.conf just to get it to work.
3) restart apache
BUT I still get ORA-1017!!!!! grrrrrrrr! no change apparent.
note:
1) There are no other databases on this machine.
2) The service name provided is correct (if i change it in marvel to an invalid setting, i get a page reading 'Service Unavailable', naturally).
3) sqlplus works for the username/password.
Why would I be able to connect using sqlplus but HTMLDB is getting ORA-1017 using the SAME username/password?
any clues or suggestions would be great.
is is possible that it thinks my new password is still encrypted? it is now plain text.
please help everyone - cheers

god bless metalink. I TOLE you this wasn't a problem with HTMLDB!! :-)
I am posting the solution here for the benefit of future generations (why do so few poeple ever bother doing this).
the problem was in the database install and the way HTTP works; HTMLDB was an innocent victim.
here is the solution taken from Note:341694.1
very happy - cheers everyone and thanks for the comments, made sure i wasnt going mad.
thanks again
Kevin
NLS_LANG was not set before starting the HTTP Server.
NLS_LANG needs to be set in the environment of the user that started OPMN to the same character
set as the database character set.
See also the following note:
Note 299979.1 - ORASSO Fails With HTTP-403 Forbidden
SolutionTo implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Get the NLS_LANG setting of your Portal database using the following query:
sqlplus system/<password>
SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter in ('NLS_LANGUAGE','NLS_TERRITORY','NLS_CHARACTERSET');
2. Set the NLS_LANG using the values returned in step 1:
i.e: export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
3. Restart the HTTP Server in the same shell:
opmnctl stopproc process-type=HTTP_Server
opmnctl startproc process-type=HTTP_Server

Accessing many databases with HTML DB from a single Apache Server

Hello;
I am planning the install of 10g and HTML DB on a HPUX server with many databases running out of many Oracle Homes 9.2.0, 9.0.1 and 8.1.7. I will be upgrading a number of the existing databases to 10g and want to access them with HTML DB.
My question is how can I install HTML DB on many databases and use a single Apache Server to access them?

Where would I find the DADs? a default installation of htmldb puts the modplsql DAD, "pls/htmldb", in a marvel.conf file located in $OHS_HOME/Apache/modplsql/conf/marvel.conf
What would the URLs look like? not sure what you're asking. if you're asking about how the change in DAD's would affect the URLs you're calling, though, you should consider looking over the OHS (oracle http server) doc some more before making these types of customizations.
And how would I install the HTML DB in the different databases?
Would I use the installer or scripts?the only supported way to install htmldb is via the 10g Companion CD. just use that installer to point to your different db's.
regards,
raj

it sounds as if your DAD is referencing a table for its DocumentTablename that doesn't exist. the correct doc table for a supported installation of htmldb is "wwv_flow_file_objects$". my default install of htmldb created a dad like this...
<Location /pls/htmldb>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseUsername HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER
PlsqlDatabasePassword %html_db_public_user_pwd%
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ap6002wgs.us.oracle.com:1521:apwgs ServiceNameFormat
PlsqlDefaultPage htmldb
PlsqlDocumentTablename wwv_flow_file_objects$
PlsqlDocumentPath docs
PlsqlDocumentProcedure wwv_flow_file_manager.process_download
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
</Location>
...and, again, it sounds as if your "demo" DAD is pointing to something other than wwv_flow_file_objects$. can you check your DAD, please, and let us know if correcting that doesn't fix things for you? also, so you know, that how-to doc assumes that you're using a supported configuration of htmldb. aside from what installs from the 10g companion CD, the only other two supported configurations are mapped out at...
http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_useoas10g.html
...and...
http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_use9ir2ohs.html
...so your "demo" dad should match what's in there.

HTMLDB installation in Unix

Hi,
I installed htmldb in sun solaris Oralce 9204-64 bit. Installation is great and get it configured. When I tried to access the login page, the login button looks ugly and when I clicked it gives me an error.
I use the same install file that I use for my windows htmldb, is there a different file to use for unix? where should I go from here?
thx,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Sounds like your system can't locate the images, style sheets and Java Script files. Please make sure that you have added the /i/ alias to your apache.conf file, that the path is actually pointing to the directory where you put the HTML DB image folder and that you have re-started apache after modifying apache.conf. For more information, please check the installation information in the readme.html that came with the HTML DB download file.
Hope this helps,
Marc

HTMLDB and JDeveloper Suite installation/configuration

Hi,
I have downloaded and installed 10g and HTMLDB on Fedora Core 1. Both installed OK and the database works fine. HTMLDB, however, is giving me troubles. I have followed the steps recommended in both the HTMLDB admin manual and at http://otn.oracle.com/obe/obe10gdb/install/htmldbinst/htmldbinst.htm (they seem to contradict each other in terms of URLs) in order to access the HTML Admin page, but no luck. Apart from the welcome page (http://localhost:7777), I don't seem to be able to access anything else (the HTTP server always returns "Page Not Found").
I am quite familiar with http servers and their configuration but never used the Oracle supplied one.
Just wondering if someone more experienced in this area could shed some light.
Also, I'd be interested if anybody installed the JDev 10g suite on Linux. I have tried, using the same tricks as for the DB installation. After the dependencies are successfully checked (gcc, shared libraries, etc) the runInstaller crashes, throwing a Java exception and advising to send the log file to Oracle. I had a look in that log file but it does not contain anything helpful - so I did not send it.
Again, maybe somebody else has had more luck.
Thanks and regards,
George Topfner

There are a few issues around vista, it is supported though.
this note is for 10.1.3.4 but is still relevant for initial install of 10.1.3.1.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12524_01/relnotes.1013/e12523/install.htm#sthref7
when you get errors like you got, what you need to do is go to the following directory
SOA_HOME/opmn/bin
run the 2 commands
opmnctl shutdown
opmnctl startall
then retry in the configuration wizard.
cheers

Installation error for htmldb 1.4.3

Hello,
Our dba has tried to install htmldb on our test env. However they encounter an error during the install. The environment is 9.2.0.4, 634bit Solaris. Here is the log.
When ins.sql script runs the third section:
III. I N S T A L L F L O W P A C K A G E S P E C S
this script fails:
/u01/app/oracle/product/marvel143_admad/htmldb/core/import_export.sql
And the error is:
...Utility

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29536: badly formed source: Encountered "<EOF>" at line 1, column 17.
Was expecting:
and:
...ImportExport
create or replace and compile java source named "ImportExport" as
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29536: badly formed source: Encountered "<EOF>" at line 1, column 17.
Was expecting:
After these errors the installation script basically falls apart and it needs
to be
cancelled.

forum readers: this issue ended up being resolved off line. the issue appears to have been the version of sqlplus used to do the install. when asked for specifics, an involved dba in the know came back with...
<quote>
Most of our applications are Oracle Apps, so we use the ORACLE_HOME that comes with a ORACLE APPS to do the installl, in a ORACLE APPS techstack we have two oracle homes, 8.0.6 and 8.1.7. We had this problem because we were using a 8.0.6 sqplus which is not java aware, we managed to install it using the 8.1.7 sqlplus.

Newbie Quesiton on HTMLDB Installation

Installed HTMLDB with Oracle 10g companion disk.
(1) Seems htmldb installation could not installed on the previous existing oracle home.
I installed Oracle 10g release 2 db server before, I tried to install htmldb into this home, but not allowed. I wish to make sure, is that mean HTMLDB must be installed in a seperate Oracle Home.
(2) There is a separate HTMLDB.zip download available in Oralce website, could I just unzip this to my previously installed oracle home, and config to make HTMLDB works, how to achieve it.
(3) After installed in a seperation home, I could not access previouse database connection.
C:\> sqlplus scott/tiger@ora10g
always report "ORA-12154 : TNS not able to ..." error.
How could I solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

If u dont have Oracle HTTP server before u install Companion CD u must have HTTP server for accessing HTMLDB so that HTTP server with HTMLDB 1.5 is installed in Diff Oracle Home.
If u have database server 10g before then just download the zip file ,extract it and login thru sys as sysdba account and run the htmldbin.sql there .U should follow the process in the documentation of HTMLDB .Just do that and then u can login to any scott or sys account with the existing database 10g server.

ROSY

Problems with a New installation on 10GR2 and HTMLDB 2.0

I'm trying to build a new HTMLDB server using 10GR2 on Suse Linux.
The database is fine, and I've pulled the HTTP server from the 10GR2 companion CD which I can connect to ok. I downloaded and installed HTMLDB 2.0 without errors.
Following the 2.0 post install docs, it talks about HTTP 9.0.3 and Oracle 10G Release 1 - nothing about 10G Release 2.
The 10G instructions says to modify the marvel.conf file - except I don't have one anywhere on the server.
Has anyone else managed to build a fresh install using 10Gr2 and HTMLDB 2.0 ? - it looks like something in the config has changed.
Dougie McGibbon

Had exactly the same problem and lot's of people will have it. Just posted the solution here, hope the devs will adjust the manual.
HTMLDB 2.0 Manual is faulty. Install on DB 10.2 and 10.2 Companion

Oracle HTMLDB installation

I have two server environments, Database servers and application servers. I see that Oracle HTMLDB is a database centric web application builder (the database and application are clubbed together on the same server).
Is there a way that I can install the application part on the application server and use the database on a database server.If there is a way then how do I establish a connection between the two servers (database and application).

See
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:376767427785#33065882053450
read the entire thread in fact. It goes into great detail as to why the concept of app server was born, how the database server can itself be considered as a scalable, flexible app server, etc.
HTML DB obviates the need, in most cases, to even have a app server because...it is an app server!
Thanks
