Newbie to OAS and Perl on Linux: regrets and succes

Hi,
I am starting up an project and wish to use OAS on a Linux using the Perl Catridge. Has any expirenced any problems using this combination, or is as good old Perl with Apache and mySql?
regards
Max

Well, we've recently setup a laptop with Redhat 6.1, Oracle 8.1.5 and OAS 4.0.8.1
This all runs fine.
Don't know whether perl works, as we are using a C cartridge on the OAS.
Rgds,
Derek

  • OAS and Linux and Apache

    I have successfully installed OAS 4.0.8.1 on Linux RedHat 6.1. The default (oracle) http listner runs fine, after setting it to port 81. I did this because the default http server for Linux (Apache 1.3.9-4) is on 80. I would like to use Apache as my http listner, and have found some documentation on how to do this at http://www.olab.com/doc/books/admin/thirdp.htm, but am a little confused with the instructions. It states that Apache must be compiled with mod_so support. I have verified that this is so with the "httpd -l" command. Before that, it mentions that...
    "libapadp.so must be linked into the Apache HTTP Server." Can anyone tell me how this is done, and with which version of Apache should be used? 1.3.6 seems to be a popular one and is mentioned in the Oracle Application Server Installation Guide for Release 4.0.8.1 in Certified Software.
    I have tried to move libapadp.so and ndwfapd.so into the /modules subdirectory my Apache install (once again 1.3.9-4) and adding "LoadModule ows_module ndwfapd.so" in my httpd.conf file, but when the server tries to start, I get the error message...
    "Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/ndwfapd.so into server:libapadp.so: cannot open shared object file:No such file or directory"
    Has anyone run into this problem? I imagine many people have done this. As I am new to Linux and OAS and Apache, maybe I'm missing something fundamental that I haven't learned yet, but hey, isn't this what learning is all about?
    If anyone can help me with this hurdle, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kirby

    Hi Guys,
    I am pulling my hair out with this one too.
    I tried to link the library "libapadp.so" to
    apache using the Makefile in the source directory by adding the path and libapadp.so to the EXTRALIBS variable. It works in the
    sense that it tried to link the lib but fails because there are a bunch of unresolved dependencies. As somebody else stated, Oracles documentation sucks. I ask for support and got sent here, I guess that they don't know how to make it work either.
    Will let you know if I have any success.
    Brett.

    I've been working on this problem as well. I haven't got it to work YET, but I'm trying.
    Your error message is relating to Apache not being able to find the shared module. You can fix this by telling it explicitly where to find it since it doesn't seem to be in the PATH.
    LoadModule ows_module /opt/app/oracle/product/8.0.5/ows/4.0/lib/ndwfapd.so
    Your directory structure may be different. In any case, this SHOULD work, my Apache listeners start up, but they don't actually respond to requests and they freeze the machine. Oh well.
    Still working on it!

  • OAS and Port 80

    I followed the instructions here to change my server to Port 80. OAS 10g (9.0.4) on Windows Server 2003
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/core.904/b10376/ports.htm#i1040069
    From my windows XP machine in my office, my website works fine. I switch to my linux box and I get intermittent results. (the site sits and does not load, or loads some times). Many clients on windows xp machines cannot access the site. It is an apex site running on OAS, and I created a static test page which they cannot access at all. I am currently waiting for our support contract to be settled with metalink, but I am kinda at my wits end here, and need results, and that is why I turn to the forum. I am about ready to wipe the machine and start over to see if maybe my futzing around screwed something up. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I will give access to the URL if anyone that can help.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi, I'm a friend of Scott's.
    I tried hitting the URL Scott gave me, and I was consistently succeeding from my Windows workstation using Firefox, while consistently failing (page timed out) on my Linux workstation. I tried both Firefox and Konqueror browsers on Linux. Windows succeeded 100% of the time on 10 attempts - Linux succeeded 0% of the time on even more attempts. Note that I work at a different company that is external to Scott's network.
    I don't know anything about OAS - I just thought I'd throw my odd test results into the conversation, to clarify what Scott is talking about.

  • JAVA IDE options for development against OAS and Oracle8i

    I'm wondering whether JDeveloper is the only Java IDE option
    when developing Java apps for deployment on OAS and Oracle8i.
    Is it possible to use VisualCaf     or Jbuilder instead and how
    does these tools compare to JDeveloper?

    JDeveloper2 provides a natural coupling to OAS and 8i which no
    other tools offer. The Connection Manager, Oracle's InfoBus
    beans, Info Form wizards, CORBA definition wizards, deployment
    wizards for 8i etc. are all there to tie the suite together.
    I used JBuilder with 8i813beta well before JDev2Beta was
    released for Web Server Applications/CORBA. 8i provides a
    number of command line utilities(loadjava, dropjava, publish,
    sess_sh etc) to perform the deployment of CORBA objects. JDev2
    are essentially calling those utilities but wrapped around a GUI.
    You can certainly use other tools but you will probably discover
    some critical features are missing. Features such as SQLJ
    support and a light weight servlet engine for debugging servlets
    are well worth it.
    One thing I hope Oracle would address is remote debugging of
    Java in the Database(either JSProcs/CORBA objects). You can
    certainly debug CORBA objects outside the database using
    Visibroker/OSAgent but this means you have to change a lot of
    code for debugging b/c Visibroker doesn't support sess_iiop nor
    AuroraJTS.
    DEV TEAM ARE YOU LISTENING!!!<g>
    There are a number of other concerns that I've listed in a
    post "heavy IIOP issues - 8i/408" but nobody has responded to
    that and probably never will.
    I think JDev3 with OBC4J will offer further encouragement to
    move away from other dev tools though. Depending on whether
    your organisation will take advantage of this new enterprise app
    framework you may not need to make the move. I dont know I
    haven't used it but I'm waiting in anticipation. I'd be
    interested in hearing what the beta testers are saying about the
    speed issues!

  • OAS and proxy configs in IE5

    I have OAS on an NT4 box connecting into my Solaris cluster w/ 8i. I can hit my webpage local on the NT box but when I go to other boxes I can't see the page unless I take the proxy config out of the IE5 browser. Then I can't see the internet with those machines. Have tried to leave the proxy w/ the bypass button checked and putting the address in my host files no go. Is there a setting that I can change in OAS that will effect this..I know I can config my IE5 browser but I have alot to rollout to so that may be hard to do...It is only on an intranet but it resolves to the fully qualified net name ie:http://iam.here.com/ but will not resolve to http://iam/...Is this possibly a DNS issue or a OAS config issue... we are using a 8080 port setting on all outgoing www and ftp traffic but this should not effect internal traffic.
    Thanks,
    Eric

    if I have IIS for BI Pres Svcs and the BI Server is installed on OASNo -- you have the Presentation Services plugin installed on IIS OR OAS -- and that's all from an OBIEE point of view.
    BI Server is a standalone binary (nqsserver) which runs outside of any application server.
    I can point BIP to the OAS on BI Server?You would install BIP on OAS. However - I don't know how the security integration would work, or if it would. Sorry.
    Maybe someone else here will be able to help, or you could try the BI Publisher forum?

    Database will install automatically with OAS.No, unless you mean the infrastructure database, which I wouldn't use anyway for application data.
    Or i have to install OAS and Database separately.Yes.
    what will be the order, which i should install first.Database first.

  • OAS and 8i

    Is there a compatibility issue between OAS and 8i, what version of OAS is compatible with 8i?
    Has anyone got 4.0.7 to work with 8.1.5 on the same machine?

    Same experience. Oracle 8i needs kernel 2.2 while OAS407 needs kernel 2.0. Cannot run it together.
    OWAS3 is able to run on kernel 2.2, together with Oracle 8i. It is running in production on e.g. DBA-Village.
    You have to check out the mailing lists for details on how to install and run the OWAS, because it is not standard.

  • OAS and Context server

    I've set up OAS and Oracle 8 with Context option successfully.
    I've set up a Context server with DML, DDL, Query and Load Server
    personality, which works fine when combined with queries from my
    Web application, but when I then enter data, I get a GPF in the
    WRKS.EXE program, which then goes on to give the OAS an internal
    error.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Just to highlight to anyone else, that I upgraded the DB to
    8.0.5 (from 8.0.4), and upgraded the OAS to 4.0.7 (from 4.0.5),
    and it fixed the problem.

  • How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

    Hi
    According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
    Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
    Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
    1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
    2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
    http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
    bla bla bla.
    Please help.
    JM

    Hi
    Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.
    cheers
