Oracle 11g R2 HTTP server for APEX

I am in the process of configuring new apex enviornment to run Oracle HTTP Server instead of the embedded server which we are currently using on another instance. I have configured 11g r2 along with companion version of Oraclle HTTP server entitled Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities.
Currently all is working fine with this configuraiton using SSL.
We have a couple of third party applications that are supplied in a EAR file for deployment. Does this version of Oracle HTTP support such deployments? There seems to be no gui interface to managing the http server and web cache. Do we need to move to the full Fusion app server to support EAR deployments, etc. If so, I am assuming we would then have to purchase Fusion product unlike http product for APEX.
Any feedback is appreciated.

For a number of reasons scrapped http server and installed and configured GlassFish community edition with Apex Listener. With caching enabled all is working great. Weblogic is overkill.

  • Advice on setting up a HTTP server for APEX

    Hi Experts,
    I'm very busy to setup an application in APEX, and we're about to deploy it on our production servers.
    Database side is fine, but I got some questions about the HTTP server.
    (I come from an engineering background, working with databases for a couple of years but the whole HTTP world is pretty new for me).
    - What is the best option for HTTP server?
    I've been testing apex_listener stand-alone now, and under GlassFish server.
    When we move to production, I'm looking at:
    - max 10 concurrent users
    - windows 2003 based webserver
    - APEX 4.1
    - oracle 10.2
    - After we installed APEX on the database server, do we have to keep the apex files available, or can I just remove it?
    (I know I need the apex\images folder on the webserver).

    Hi JP,
    - What is the best option for HTTP server?
    I've been testing apex_listener stand-alone now, and under GlassFish server.The standalone mode is intended to be used for development/testing purposes only. If you plan a productive deployment, use a "full-blown" JEE server. GlassFish is one option. If it's the one you'll want depends on your production scenario and your previous experiences with JEE servers. You'll get a full list of all officially supported JEE servers in the requirements section of the Installation Guide.
    - After we installed APEX on the database server, do we have to keep the apex files available, or can I just remove it?
    (I know I need the apex\images folder on the webserver).You can simply remove the installation package, though you might want to keep a few files for maintenance/development tasks, e.g. the apxchpwd.sql in order to be reset the password for the APEX internal ADMIN, and the contents of apex\utilities if you ever have to reset the images prefix or want to use the java-based APEX export for command line/script based export of (multiple) APEX applications.

  • Problems enabling Oracle XML DB HTTP Server in APEX 3.2.1/oracle 11.1.0.7

  • Oracle HTTP Server for APEX3.2

    I am a DBA but new to APEX.
    On page 4-15 of APEX3.2 Installation Guide, it says
    Install from the Database and Configure Oracle HTTP Server
    This section describes how to configure Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql
    distributed with Oracle Database 11g or Oracle Application Server 10g.
    It seems that Oracle HTTP Server is neither distributed with the database CD nor Example CD. Am I right?
    Also, can I use HTTP Server bundled with OMS to serve as HTTP Server for APEX? Will that impact Grid Control?
    EPG is not considered.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Hi
    When using Grid of course, there is a HTTP server
    When having the Rdbms, you need the companion cd or use one of products that has already HTTP server .... ( Example ; IAS, etc )
    Kind regards,
    Iloon

  • Where is the Oracle Application Server for Apex 3.2.1?

    Hi, I feel ashamed asking this, but I want to know where to download the Application Server for Apex 3.2.1. Apex is installed in a DataBase 10gR1 and the O.S. where I will install the Application Server is RedHat
    I think it is here
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/index.html
    But there is a lot of links and things to download and I don't even know if it will work because it is Release 3 and the DataBase is Release 1, but I tried downloading the "Oracle 10gR3 Companion (10.1.3.x) CD", but after running the installer in the disk1, I found that the Oracle HTTP Server that it would install does not include mod_plsql and I know I need it.
    So, which one should I download, or where can I find it?
    Thanks.

    Strictly speaking you do not need Application Server or OHS for running Apex, you have an option in ApexListener. If it is a small installation then stick to EPG that comes built-in.
    Try downloading the Oracle HTTP Server from here . You will need to check the commercial aspects yourself as OHS is not a free software for Production environment, AFAIK.

  • Using a Single HTTP Server for Multiple APEX Instances

    Our company's DBA Manager has asked if it would be possible to externalize the HTTP server portion of APEX from the DB Servers. In other words, he would strongly prefer that the DB Servers *only* run Oracle Database software.
    We know that we can install the HTTP server on another box but, in thinking about how to do this, we were wondering if it is really necessary to create a separate HTTP server installation for each APEX instance. What we'd really like to do is have one HTTP server for all our our Dev boxes and several (but, not one to one) for each of our upper environments; staging, qa, prod, etc.
    Right now, each instance have a single dads.conf file on each DB box. So, if we we're to attempt to consolidate them, we'd need some way to embed multiple dads files and to associate each instance with the correct one.
    Has anyone ever done this or (preferably) have some examples?
    Thanks,
    -Joe

    Joe,
    I don´t know a specific reference for it, I remembered it because when I was looking the documentation on the site, I saw the reference "Support for multiple database connections" in the URL: APEX Listener New Features 2.0</title><meta name="Title" content="APEX Listener New Features 2.0…
    I´ve tried to use APEX listener some time ago, but in a earlier version together with glassfish. So, since for me was only one database, I created the necessary amount of DAD´s on my database, each one for a specific port.
    Check the link and you´ll see the same information I saw.
    Thanks.

  • Companion CDs for 64-bit Oracle HTTP Server for AIX5L(64 bit) required.

    I need Companion CDs for 64 bit Oracle HTTP Server for AIX5L(64 bit).
    I tried to install using

    Also i tried with Oracle 10.1.2.0.2 but still the server is installed as 32-bit.
    Is 64-bit Oracle HTTP Server supported on AIX5L(64 bit) ?
    If yes, then from where can i download the CDs?

  • Application Server for APEX

    Hello APEX community
    We have alredy APEX in use. Now we want to introduce a Application-Server on a SunOS (sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240). The Question is: Witch program should we use from oracle "Application-Server"? It has many possibilities. Wath we wont to have is an easy Application-Server from Oracle. The Application run's only on LAN. The Application-server should only serve Applex with all the needet programms e.g. php.
    May we ask you witch Application-Server Programm from Oracle should we use. There should be the latest version and as mentioned only for Appex e.g. 3.2 and no other functions. For hints and tips many thanks in advance Best regards Ulrich

  • HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit not on the companion CD

    Hi,
    I cannot find the HTTP Server for Windows 64 bit on the companion CD. Any idea where I can get it from? For the 32bit version the HTTP Server is on the Companion CD.
    Thanks in advance,
    Florin

    If i am correct reason should be : Oracle Application Server 10g will run as a 32-bit application
    Following platforms have the same media in either case:
    Microsoft Windows 32-bit and EM64T/AMD64
    (Not Itanium-64, which is separate and referred to as "Windows 64-bit")
    Linux x86 and Linux x86-64
    Solaris Sparc 32-bit and Solaris Sparc 64-bit
    As the Oracle Application Server 10g will be run as a 32-bit application. See the Installation Guide or readme files for any specific steps on these 64-bit platforms.

    In a nutshell, you install the lowest version (10.2.0.1 or 10.2.0.2, which ever is lower for your Grid Control platform), and then apply the 10.2.0.5 patch according to the readme. That should not normally take more than a day.

  • Configuring oracle 11g and Appl.server

    hello
    we are beginners and need some step by step guide
    to step our database envirnonment.
    Since we have been working in an obsolete database(8i & dev6)
    we are switching to the new version and hence unable to proceed .
    1. Installed oracle 11g on a server with OS windows2003.we are able to
    open the admin pages in a browser and created users and control files.
    we have also imported one users data using dmp files.
    2. Next we have sample application developed using Developer suite 10g .
    In another PC we have installed OS windows xp and also installed only
    application server 10g services for forms and reports.We have placed our sample fmx files
    in this pc.
    3. we are able able to open the file fmx from the browser on this pc and locally
    (Lan) on other pcs by giving the url completely.
    4. Next we want our remote office to open this file through the internet.
    when we tried this we failed in our attempt.Hence please let us know
    how to open the file from the internet.
    5. Next we require one active server page to authenticate the user (from the Table
    created in the database) and if ok open the sample fmx file .
    Here we are struck and do not know how to proceed .
    Please guide as how we have to go about with a sample script and
    other details.
    Thanks in advance

    I do not intend to be insulting but your question reads something like: "my car doesn't start please tell me why?"
    Did you see any error message displayed?
    Did you look in the log files for error messages?
    Can you ping the server?
    Is there a firewall?
    In other words you need to provide a lot more information before we can help you. Right now it could be anything from the battery is dead to it is out of petrol to some thief took the engine. <g>

  • About memory issue during installing Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003

    Hi, all
    When I installed Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003 which the server is a virtual server, Oracle only can detect 2G memory.
    But there are 4G memory with my server.
    I want to know if the Oracle 11g's new feature or the virtual server lead the issue.
    Also , I want to get your help to resolve the issue, thanks a lot.

    Let me get this straight:
    You have created some virtual machine using someone's unknown VM software.
    You have installed Windows Server 2003 (perhaps, but not confirmed 32-bit) to that VM.
    You have allocated 4GB of memory to the VM (we guess ... not sure I'm ready to take your word on this)
    You are attempting to install Oracle 11g (presumably 11gR1 32 bit for Windows) in the VM
    And the Oracle (installer?) seems to be reporting that you only have 2GB RAM.
    Since I personally have installed Oracle 11g 32bit for Windows on Windows 2003 server with 4GB RAM and had no issues, I would be investigating the (unknown) VM environment.

  • Can't connect Forms 6i to Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2008 SE

    Hi everyone,
    I have Oracle 10g working pretty well with Forms 6i, but now I have installed Oracle 11g on another server and I'm trying to connect Forms 6i to my other Oracle 11g server, but Forms 6i never gets connected. Is there any trick to make it work? I have check the upper cases and other things related with lower and upper case passwords, but nothinh happens.
    Can anyone please help me?

    Hello;
    Its probably the Oracle client that installs with Forms 6. Try connecting to the database using SQL Plus from a Forms workstation. If it fails I would install a newer client and switch the Oracle Home on all the workstations.
    ( Provided it tests out )
    I would probably try using the Net Configurations Assistant in your Oracle Start Menu group with all combinations I could think of before I added a second client to the mix.
    Of minor interest :
