Virtual Mappings For Forms 11

Question

Hi all,
I am working with forms 11g and I need to create the virtual mapping for physical folder c:\temp on FMW server (Windows 32 bit)
e.g. http://<host>:<port>/forms/temp
I followed all steps explained in the Oracle Support document ID 981095.1 and in Oracle Documentation but the mapping does not work
I have added the following lines to:
Weblogic.xml located in $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/WLS_FORMS/tmp/_WL_user/formsapp_11.1.1/<random_string>/war/WEB-INF
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:\TEMP</local-path>
<url-pattern>temp/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
form.conf located in $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OHS/<OHS INSTANCE NAME>/moduleconf.
# Virtual path for physical directory of temp
AliasMatch ^/forms/temp/(..*) "C:\TEMP/$1"
WLExcludePathOrMimeType /forms/temp/
http://dc1fmw51:9001/forms/temp/1.txt  --> physically located in c:\temp folder
Error 404--Not Found ….
Does anybody have the same problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for your reply!
http://dc1fmw61:9001/temp/test.html is giving the same error message.
http://dc1fmw61:8888/forms - in portlist.ini OHS_LISTEN_PORT is it correctone ?
Failure of server APACHE bridge:
No backend server available
If found this in Oracle Doc forms 11g services deployment guide:
The virtual path definition in the weblogic.xml file for /forms/java allowsthe applet code to be loaded from the Web server.
But in the weblogic.xml on my server I didn't find any mapping for /forms/Java . There are no mappings at all
So where it could be defined?
Here is my weblogic.xml file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<virtual-directory-mapping>
<local-path>C:\TEMP</local-path>
<url-pattern>temp/*</url-pattern>
</virtual-directory-mapping>
<session-descriptor>
<timeout-secs>7200</timeout-secs>
<invalidation-interval-secs>120</invalidation-interval-secs>
<debug-enabled>false</debug-enabled>
<id-length>52</id-length>
<tracking-enabled>true</tracking-enabled>
<cache-size>1024</cache-size>
<max-in-memory-sessions>-1</max-in-memory-sessions>
<cookies-enabled>false</cookies-enabled>
</session-descriptor>
<!--logical roles defined in web.xml are mapped to the real users below -->
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>formsadmin</role-name>
<principal-name>Administrators</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
</weblogic-web-app>
