Prob in installing Flights of Fancy

Question

Hi
This is the second time it has happened to me.
When I follow the installation document for installing "Flights of Fancy" example and run loadsdk.sql, the web service goes down. I receive "503 - Service temporarily unavailable" message in the browser.
And in the error log, I get messages like the following:
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04063: package body "PORTAL30.WWCTX_API" has errors
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at "PORTAL30.WWERR_API_ERROR_UI", line 111

Could somebody tell me whats going wrong??

Gail,
The subscriber_id parameter is new in 3.0.8.
So if you are using previous releases you should have that commented out (just like the originbal sample does). However if you are on a 3.0.8, then it needs to be included, as a parameter with a default value of 1 as explained in previous post.
Apart from that check whether your listener token looks like this ( you probably have an extra colon/period or something)
p_lsnr_token => '&&5.:&&1.:&&2'
There are two instances where this needs to be replaced, one in flapp.pkb and one in flsec.pkb. Make sure that you edited both files.
Let me know if this still does'nt work for you.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Mohana, thank you for responding.
I'm running 3.0.7 and I did exactly as you said and I'm still running into the same problems. Could the problem be caused by the fact that I'm running as localhost, and although my http.conf file lists 80 as my port, I don't enter the port when I access Portal.
If I try to access the URL http://localhost/pls/portal30/ssosdk.flights_of_fancy.show_flights I get the following errors:
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception
ORA-06512: at "SSOSDK.WWSEC_SSO_ENABLER_PRIVATE", line 430

Thank you!
