Hi,

we start the AdminListener with:
oswctl start ADMIN
the listener starts sucessfully.
trying accessing on the ADMIN-Page with the IE 4.0
(http://[IP-adress]:8888)
the following message occured:
The request did not specify a valid virtual host.
any idea ???
Thank
Martin

If you access using the hostname, this will be passed onto the
Application Server in addition to the IP address. The
Application Server will use the hostname details to determine
the listener files to use under the $ORACLE_HOME/ows path. This
means you can more than one set of OAS files and therefore in
theory service two different hostname addresses mapped to the
same IP address.
