Mod_osso behavior differences with 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server 2

We have an install of standalone 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server 2 (i.e. the Apache 2 version), and have noticed that the behavior of mod_osso is different than the regular 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server (i.e. the Apache 1 version).
We use the following in our mod_osso.conf:
<Location /somepath>
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</Location>
First Difference: With OHS 2, when we go to /somepath, we get the error "missing AuthName" in the Apache logs.
So, we set an AuthName. Now, our mod_osso.conf looks like this:
<Location /OnDemand>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Oracle Single Sign On"
require valid-user
</Location>
Second Difference: Now, we we go to /somepath, Apache returns a 401, which causes the browser to prompt for credentials! We can enter anything we want in the dialog, and everything will continue as normal (i.e. redirects to the Oracle SSO Server to prompt for credentials, etc).
So, our question is: Why these behavior differences in 10gR3 OHS 2? It almost seems as if it's using an old 9i mod_osso!
Thanks,
- Bill

Okay, we figured it out.
Apparently, the three "LoadModule mod_auth*" lines in OHS 2 httpd.conf need to be commented out.
Now mod_osso is working exactly as with OHS 1.

  • Problem with starting Oracle HTTP Server

  • Virtual Directory Change from Oracle HTTP Server to Embedded PL/SQL Gateway

    We finally upgraded from htmldb 1.6 to ApEx 3.1.2 late last year. This was in conjunction with setting up a new server and installing Oracle 11g DB, while our production DB is still 10g. During this install, I opted for the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway, whereas our htmldb is running with the Oracle HTTP Server.
    During the conversion of one of our applications I learned that Virtual Directory references to #IMAGE_PREFIX# are no longer valid for custom CSS so I had to change an entry in the page templates that I'm using to use #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#. Now I am importing another application from our htmldb 1.6 environment to our ApEx 3.1.2 environment, and I have a new problem that I think is related.
    In this application we have been uploading report files for outside users to be able to download at their convenience. I think the upload is working OK, but when I try to download the report file I get the following:
    Not found
    The requested URL /apex/IMR.ofile was not found on this server.
    The download is accomplished with a link on an SQL Report region. The Column Link info is:
    Link Text = <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit_big.gif" border="0" alt="Icon 1">
    Target = URL
    URL = #OWNER#.ofile?p_file=#VIEW_REPORT#&v_auth=&APP_USER.
    When I change the Link Text to <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#edit_big.gif" border="0" alt="Icon 1"> I lose the Edit Icon image. However, what I'm really concerned about is the URL not found error
    Now, maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, so if the problem isn't related to virtual directories, which tree should I be barking up?
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Gregory

    Is the IMR.ofile a custom package for downloading files? If so, you might need to add it to the wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local function.
    I am not certain how this function also plays into the embedded pl/sql gateway, but do know it would affect this running through Oracle HTTP server when configured with the before proc.
    With the embedded gateway it may very well be that you need to add this package into the ACL for outside availability.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can Oracle HTTP Server 2.0 be installed with Oracle App Server 10.1.3.4.0?

    Or I guess a related question is what version of apache comes with the latest App Server Patch Set (10.1.3.4.0)?
    We are running OAS 10.1.3.3.x and we are having issues with URLs that end in a number but which have query parameters at the end.
    E.g. http://<stuff_here>/1?type=table&format=html
    The URLs come from REST-ful GET operations. It seems like the HTTP server just ignores the query parameters completely.
    When we run against stand-alone OC4J which includes an embedded HTTP server, such URLs work as expected.
    We are hoping that perhaps the latest patch set for the full Oracle Application Server 10g will overcome this issue.
    But if we need to move to a later Oracle HTTP Server (like the one that comes as an option for the Oracle 11g database installation) we would be willing to do so.
    Comments related to this are welcome.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Does anyone have experiece getting Apex working with secured BI publisher?
    The error I am getting when PDF printing from Apex to BI pub is:
    "ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
    Error failed
    OK "
    Please note, network services in 11G are already configured; thus I am able to print from Apex to non-secured BI pub.
    Thanks,

  • How to integrate Oracle Http Server with Weblogic

    Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server. Oracle Http Server (OHS) is based on Apache 2.0. I am trying to configure Weblogic to use OHS that comes with OAS install as proxy on Linux environment. I am unable to get the WLS plugin for Apache to work with OHS. When I tried to start the OHS, I got the following errors:
    /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
    Syntax error on line 1125 of /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:

    I checked the library, and I found in several places, such as /usr/lib.
    The following is the configuration that I put in http.conf file:

    DebugConfigInfo ON
    PathTrim /weblogic
    </Location>
    Anybody knows how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    You're right: Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server but you are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 which is based on Apache *1.3* as you can read in "Oracle® HTTP Server Administrator's Guide"
    10g (10.1.3.1.0) - Part Number B28948-01 - 1.1 Oracle HTTP Server Features, right under "Based on Apache - HTTP v1.1 Support" at
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28948/overview.htm#i1008837.
    As far as I know, the only OHS based on Apache *2.0* is available as a standalone release: "Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2.0) (10.1.3.3.0) for Linux x86" - 32bit. You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html (as_101330_apache2_lnx.zip).
    I've tested it successfully.

    Any pointers are highly appreciated.

    Shannon,
    The OHS + Weblogic installation, just means you will have an admin server, with Enterprise Manager that can manage your OHS instances. That being said:
    1 - You don't have to extend any domain, since the only thing OHS will need is an Admin Server with Enterprise Manager.
    2 - I (myself, I don't speak for Oracle here) have a personal preference of having stand alone OHS. If you don't know how to work with httpd.conf and mod_wl.conf, I would suggest installing a separate domain only for it, that way you can keep the weblogic turned off, and turn it on only when you need to edit any configuration.
    Thanks

  • How to get standalone Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql?

    Hi,
    I do not know if it is just me but it seems to be a nightmare to get OHS with mod_plsql from the official OTN download site. I downoaded the companion CD for Windows - 3 disks, installed OHS - no mod_plsql. Then I tried to find any clue on OTN on how to download mod_plsql - none. Plenty of information on how to configure it and use it, but nothing on how to get it.
    PLSQL gateways is not an option for us because many of our clients do not allow direct communication between the database and the Internet.

  • Oracle Http server 11g, change ports with command-line tool

    I have installed the WLS11g webtier's Oracle Http server 11g. I installed the OH 11g only.
    The OH is runing fine with ports: non-ssl 7779 and ssl 4444
    I want to change the ssl port to 443 such that we can have the url without showing the port as https://hostname.domain/
    I have looked up the documnet http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e10105/ports.htm#CIHJIFHB for "managing port".
    it states "You can change the port numbers for some Oracle Fusion Middleware components, using Fusion Middleware Control, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, or *the command line*."
    Because I only installed the OH, I have no the Fusion Middleware control , admin console available for making the port change. And I cannot find out how to the command line tool to make the change.
    I followed the steps in section 5.3.2.1 Enabling Oracle HTTP Server to Run as Root for Ports Set to Less Than 1024 (UNIX Only) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/core.1111/e10105/ports.htm#CIHJEEJH
    And I did edit ssl.conf for port change to 443 ---- this is not documented in the document. I think because Oracle wants you to use the console to make the change.
    OH is not working after I made the change.
    Does anyone know how to use the commend line tool for making the port changes for OH11g?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    if u want to achieve it using JMX then u can try :
    http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=613
    Using Command Line Option WLST you can do it in ONLINE Mode...like:
    Step1). Please run the ". ./setWLSEnv.sh" script to set the CLASSPATH & PATH in the shell prompt.
    <b><font color=red>NOTE:</font></b> Run the “setWLSEnv.sh” by adding two DOTs separated by a single space …..before the actual script like following : (use ‘cd’ command to move inside the <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.3/server/bin) then run the following command….
    *. ./setWLSEnv.sh*
    Note: the first DOT represents that set the Environment in the current Shell, AND the second ./ represents execute the script from the current directory.
    Step2). Now in the same Shell Prompt please run the WLST Utility like following:
    <b><font color=maroon>
    java weblogic.WLST
    wls:/offline> connect()
    Please enter your username [weblogic] : weblogic
    Please enter your password [weblogic] : weblogic
    Please enter your server URL [t3://localhost:7001] : t3://localhost:7001
    Connecting to t3://localhost:7001 with userid weblogic ...
    edit()
    startEdit()
    cd ('Servers/AdminServer')
    cmo.setListenPort(9999)
    save()
    activate()
    </font></b>
    Now you NEED NOT to restart your Server to reflact these Changes....
    The Above JMX Code is also able to do it in Runtime only on the Fly.

  • How to isolate web applications at URL level with Oracle HTTP Server?

    We have 2 machines each for oracle web cache, oracle http server and oracle application server (oc4j). We would like to host many web applications on this infrastructure. We have an issue with application/web site isolation for maintenance purposes.
    We have several oc4j containers for different web sites/applications but they all use one instance of Oracle Http Server. When we need to make changes to an application/web site or introduce a new web site (URL), we change the OHS configuration and restart OHS on each of the machines.
    As we have many URLs hosted on this OHS and plan to host a lot more (may be around 300), we need a way to slice and dice the URLs so that every change or any change should not need to go through a regression cycle or testing cycle for all the applications each weekend (our change window). When we used Apache earlier, we used to be able to create multiple httpd.conf (process level isolation) to cater to different applications.
    We could do this with Oracle Http Server too but Oracle will not support us. I appreciate any advice or suggestion with this issue.
    Thank you

    Hi Joey,
    A great idea! I recently presented at a local user group meeting about my WebSockets API (see the links in my signature). I've uploaded the presentation and the demo code I gave to our UG here.
    I think the barrier to entry is with needing to know the web languages (e.g. html/css/js) as well as writing your LabVIEW code. I have joined the group and look forward to seeing some interesting content on there! Certainly some demos of using AJAX to make requests to Web Services and do something with the data (e.g. display on a graph) would be a good place to start.

  • Oracle HTTP server with multiples apex instances

    It is possible to have an Oracle HTTP server installed in a diferente machine,
    and apex Installed on databases there are in diferent machines?
    Or it would be necessary to install one HTTP server for each APEX instance?
    For instance:
    Machine 3
    ___________DATABASE A
    Machine 1 Machine 2 /
    WEB BROWSER -----------> HTTP SERVER /
    \ Machine 4
    \___________DATABASE B

    Yes, you can define multiple DADs - pointing to different machines/APEX instances - in one OHS instance.

  • Mod_oc4j Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.2.0.2

    Hi!!
    In this moment i made a installation in HA environment of Oracle AS 10gr2, but now i need plug a cluster the oc4j 10gr3 to this environment.
    The question is: if i have a cluster in the web layer with Oracle HTTP Server 10g r2, can i use the Mod_oc4j to redirect request to the oc4j 10gr3 cluster? or i need install the Oracle HTTP Server 10gr3 for do it?
    Any doc
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hmm interesting question. Theoretically, I don't see why not, but the question is that 10.1.3 is a loose cluster managed by opmn and dcm so I don't know if the "cluster" option will still work. Why not give it a try "cluster:clustername" check the HA guide/clustering guide on mod_oc4j syntax. Also try indvidual 10.1.3 names.
    Please let me know how things work out for you...I would like to follow up on this...

  • Install Oracle HTTP Server to Oracle Database XE

    Successfully managed to install Oracle Database XE to Windows 2000 (after temporarily dropping TNSNAMES and TNS_ADMIN variables). I want to learn how to use Application Express (formerly HTML DB) and it would be a pain/take ages to get the enterprise DBA's to install it onto a supported networked instance. I have installed HTML DB into Oracle XE but the post installation instructions require that Oracle HTTP Server is installed. How do you get Oracle HTTP Server installed into Oracle XE? Oracle Universal Installer does not recognise Oracle XE as an Oracle Home. How do you use Oracle Universal Installer on Oracle XE? or how do you download Oracle HTTP Server with InstallShield? Seems strange that Oracle XE does not integrate with other toolset installations.

    exec FLOWS_020000.wwv_flow_upgrade.switch_schemas ('FLOWS_020000','FLOWS_020100');commit;I would give it a try, it's hard to make it worse ;).
    Oracle XE / Apex is almost the same.
    Some of the differences are:
    - SSO authentication is not supported out of the box (although there are workarounds)
    - You can assign only a single database schema to a workspace
    - There are no developer accounts in the workspaces
    Basically, both version are pretty much the same. You can export / import applications both ways.
    I cannot see what you mean by missing templates. They are all there (although not in the filesystem but stored in the database via XMLDB).
    You can reach the documentation from the homepage of XE and also from Start > Programs > Oracle Express Edition

  • Separate Media -vs- Companion CD - Oracle HTTP Server for 11g

    I am finally upgrading to Oracle 11g. We have been using HTML-DB for a couple of years. In the Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g it says "Starting with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle HTTP Server is available on a separate media shipped with Oracle Database. In previous releases, this product was available as a Companion CD component."
    What's the difference between "separate media shipped with Oracle Database" and a "Companion CD"? Wouldn't something that is shipped with something else be a companion?
    Cheers,
    Gregory

    What's the difference between "separate media shipped with Oracle Database" and a "Companion CD"?
    The Companion CD was used for material that wouldn't fit on the base CD and which might be optional or unnecessary for many customers. The packaging was labeled with the term "Companion CD" using the English language proper-noun-as-adjective capitalization convention.
    Wouldn't something that is shipped with something else be a companion?
    Sure, but the suggested semantic relationship between the ad hoc notation "Companion" and companionship neither excludes accompanying or adjunct materials that do not have this designation from the "companion" category nor does it situate all "companion" material as members of the "Companion" category. If Oracle had labeled the CD as the "Overflow CD" the difference in connotation would have been slight but would not lead me to conflate such supplemental offerings with certain household plumbing mishaps.
