OCS 10g on Linux: Forbidden page displayed
I have recently downloaded OCS 10g and installed on RHEL 4 i386
server with 4GB RAM and 40+9+9 GB Hard disk. The installation was
smooth though very time consuming, took almost 7 hours.
After installation when I access http://servername:7778, I get the
welcome page. When I click on any link I get the following error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to
access /pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login on this server.
Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.2 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at
ocsserver Port 7778
I tried checking for errors in the log file and I found the following
entry in the apache log folder:
[Fri Sep 30 16:56:59 2005] [warn] [client 127.0.0.1] [ecid:

Any ideas as to how to resolve the forbidden error.

Hello Richard,
Thank you for the reply. I have not replaced the text in error report. The hostname is ocsserver. I am not purposely using the fully qualified hostname as I tried installing with hostname as ocsserver.matpl (matpl is the domain name set on my local Windows NT server), I was unable to access the RTC url from a local network PC running Windows 2000/XP. To check the capability of RTC I have to run the RTC url on a Windows based system. Hence I did a reinstall of the OCS 10g without a domain name in the hostname. Though in the network setting I find mshome.net as the DNS domain search path set automatically in my Linux server. I tried removing it but it automatically sets in. Is this creating problem? But after installation I restarted the server I was able to run all the opmn services of infra. Only that I was getting a forbidden page and for that I changed the password of PORTAL and ORASSO schema. One more thing I find unsual is that whenever I start the machine I find that the schema PORTAL is LOCKED(TIMED) and I have to unlock it, but it gets locked automatically once databse is restarted. Why is it happening?
I checked the entries of processes and they are 250 as per the parameter. And 35 is the value as per the count of v$session.
Please provide your valuable ideas in resolving the issue.

Vipul
