Web Cache Port Conflict

Started to get this problem today. I check the portlist.ini file and its showing that Discoverer is using port 80. How do I fix this? Thank you

[29/Jun/2004:22:28:26 -0400] [notification 9610] [ecid: -] The server is exiting.

Hi,
If you want to change the port for Discoverer, then pls post this question in 'Discoverer' forum. But, one other option is to change the Web Cache port -> this can be done by changing it in webcache.xml config file found in '<Oracle_home>/webcache/' directory.
Hope this helps!

Httpd.conf requires Web Cache listening port to be defined - Why?

Can someone tell me why the httpd.conf file requires the Web Cache listening port in its configuration; Port=web_cache_port entry. I.e
## httpd.conf -- Apache HTTP server configuration file
Port 7777
Listen 7778
ServiceName http_server.company.com etc...
The reason behind my question is that I thought Web Cache was a stand alone application that just passed requests through to the http server.
This question arose when reading page 6-8 of Oracle9iAS Web Cache - Administration and Deployment Guide - Release 2 (9.0.2)

Thx. Now I know why entering petstore thru' webcache at port 80
http://blah/petstore/
returns
http://blah:7777/petstore/control/....
where 7777 is OHS listening port.
Changing PORT to 80 fixed my problem! i,e. back thru webcache
http://blah/petstore/control/....
BTW, I managed to killed webcache a couple of times in the last 2 days by changing ports configuration using the Web admin interface at port 4000 and each time I need to reinstall ias903 core on win2k server. How stable is this beast? The EM interface is also very sensitive to editing server.xml etc directly in advanced properties...
See below for info on PORT.
Cheers.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#port
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#usecanonicalname
* The Port directive sets the SERVER_PORT environment variable (for CGI and SSI), and is used when the server must generate a URL that refers to itself (for example when creating an external redirect to itself). This behavior is modified by UseCanonicalName.
The primary behavior of Port should be considered to be similar to that of the ServerName directive. The ServerName and Port together specify what you consider to be the canonical address of the server. (See also UseCanonicalName.)

Web cache listen ports

We have set up Web cache on a Windows NT 4.0 box to cache ASP pages served up by another box running IIS.
Using a listen port of 80 and a application web server with the host port entry set to 80 everything works fine. However we have a number of additional sites running on different ports under IIS - e.g. 84, 85 etc. When I add these ports to the application web server list and create an equivalent entry in the web cache listen ports list I always get the incorrect content served up by web cache.
For example I request /servername:84/home/main.asp and I get server /servername:85/home/main.asp
Is there another setting that I have to use to get this to work correctly ?
Thanks in advance

Try the virutal hosting workaround I documented in a disussion topic titled "Virtual Hosting in Web Cache 2.0.0.x". Note that you will need to change your origin Web Server config to use name-based virtual hosting instead of IP/Port-based virtual hosting.
The upcoming 9.0.2 release of Web Cache will support a more flexible virtual hosting mechanism.

Can web cache pass request to multiple ports

I am using the 9iAS 1.0.2.0.0 web cache.
I have set the web cache listening port to 80. But I want to web cache to cache more than one ports.For example we are using same ip & more than 5 ports. I want web cache to cache all the ports , no one .
Is it possible ????
Any help will be appreciated.
yogesh

I am reframing my previous question.
I have installed 9iAs v10200 with ias web cache version 1.0.2.1.0(comes with 9iAS v1.0.2.0.0) on winnt 4.0 server with service pack 5
I have set the web cache listening port to 80
Now we have different websites on different ports say 11000,13000,7000 on same machine.
Now I want to cache all the sites.
Is it possible ????????
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Web Cache 10g Strange Port Redirection

Hi,
I have installed Oracle AS 10g 10.1.2 at one server (Solaris 9).
1) Oracle Apache Server is listenning port 81 and specific IP. No apache virtual hosts are configured at this port. In httpd.conf i have these directives:
Port 81
Listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81
2) Web Cache is listenning port 80 and the same IP as Apache Server.
3) In Web Cache, I've added one origin server with 81 port and HTTP protocol (host and port of Apache server, from item 1).
4) Ð¡reated new named site at port 80, which was mapped to Origin server created item 2.
My application is deployed to url /myapp, and after configuring Web Cache as described, I could access it by typing:
http://<host>/myapp
But when click to any link in my app, my browser is redirected to URL with specific port
http://<host>:81/myapp
Where :81 is Apache Server port from "Port" directive in httpd.conf. If I change "Port" directive to different value, for example 80, browser is redirected to http://<host>:0/myapp
Could, you help me? I need no port in my URL at all (port 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS).

Hi
I have one named sites definitions, it is also default named site.
Host name is <My Host>
Port is 80 (It is that port, which WEB cache is listening)
Prefix field is empty.
Origin server is <My host>:81 (Actually it is my apache virtual host)
As I've written all navigation in my application is performed over one servlet, which recieves request by method post, and uses sendRedirect method to redirect user reuqests (sending http header to browser):
response.sendRedirect(url);
If I change code, and servlet uses server side redirection request.getRequestDispatcher(url).forward(request, response);
App is redirected to WEB Cache (Named Site) port. All navigation works fine with WEB Cache or without it.
But this method doesn't suites for my application. Because if user press refresh button, browser asks to repost the data.

Web Cache with apache

Hi Guys
My apache server saying that i want to run on windows
"PORT MUST BE IN NUMERIC"

By default, when you install Web Cache and Apache from Oracle installer, Web Cache listens on 7777 and Apache
listens on 7778. Make sure that there is no port conflict.

when member_1 is working, i'm able to access site from all 3 web servers through both web cache http listener port and OHS listener port.

An error occurred while starting "Web Cache".

We have corrected the issue. There was something wrong with the files in the WebCache Folder.
Hello,
When starting Web Cache we get the following message:
An error occurred while starting "Web Cache".
WebCache : WebCache - failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
WebCache : WebCacheAdmin - failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit
For more information, look at the logs using the related link below.
Related Link Error Logs
When we open the event_log in the \webcache\logs folder, there is nothing there. The process is not writing any type of message to the event_log.
We have tried changing port numbers without any success.
This process was working until a restart of the server yesterday. Now Web Cache and Portal are not showing active.
Thank you for any input on this matter.

Try to stop processes that might still occupy the port of the webcache and webcache admin.
Also check the logfiles in the opmn.

ADF application integrating with Oracle Web Cache

Hello,
I am trying to integrated my ADF 11g application with Oracle Web Cache. I used this link http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2010/06/oracle-webtier-11g-configuration-for.html for it.
I am able to access my ADF application using webcache port 7785.
I created few caching rules in the Oracle Web Cache. And in the popular request section of the Oracle Web cache i see jpg,png and other image files cached.
But the issue is when the application access images like /testapp/test/images/abc.jpg?_adf.ctrl-state=5b0s7lzfo_29 . I created a caching rule with regular expression ^/testapp/test/images/[A-Za-z0-9_]*\.(gif|jpeg|png|jpg)\?_adf\.ctrl-state=[A-Za-z0-9_]*$.
But when i access the popular request in em i don't see the URL given above as cached. The caching reason it specifies as URL contains query string.
I am not sure if i need to do anything additional to cache these URL's as well.
Thanks!
Ram

Yes that works. But my question is how to cache the urls which has querystring. I was trying to give a regular expression to match the url so that the url which contains parameters like _afrLoop which changes with each HTTP request can also be cached.

OCS 10.1.2.2. on Win2003ServerR2 - Web Cache status "unknown"

Hi, I am experiencing the following:
- When, in EM, I navigate to the Middle tier of my OCS installation, everything looks fine (all processes green and up, including Web Cache).
- If I click on the Web Cache link --> webcache page opens regularly --> web cache icon on top of the page is GREY, status reported as UNKNOWN.
- If from here I click on the "stats" tab, all the stats are reported UNKNOWN and the dropdown menu on top of the page is completely empty, and nothing is selectable.
- If I click on the "Administrative" tab, all the options (e.g. Sites, Origin Servers) are populated correctly.
- last: if I exit from EM and navigate on the webcache administrative page (on port 9400), everything looks fine, and I can successfully start/stop the webcache etc.
It used to work from EM too in the recent past, no changes have been made to the system and the logfiles look OK....... Any clues?
Thanks, Roberto

Hi Andreas,
yes, I tried to restart EM agent... in a matter of fact, I also tried a complete server reboot.
Regarding the XML files, I have been carefully checking targets.xml and webcache.xml and it seems they are allright.... In fact, webcache IS working (if I check it through the administrative tool on port 9400). The whole system runs smooth.......
There must be something strange just with EM configuration....
Can you please tell me a bit more about the various XML files related to EM and Webcache configuration? Maybe I'm missing something....
Thank you
Roberto

Hi.,
Thanks again !!!
Yes, My Oracle HTTP Server is listening on port 80.
I am not clear, may i know why should the ports be changed for the request to go through Web Cache ???
Can i assign port 80 for Web Cache and 7778 for HTTP Server ?
Also In Oracle Enterprise Manager, Web Cache is not available...
home, HTTP Server, management alll these are there...
Also for HTTP Server, it's not showing any metric info, 'Not Yet Available' is shown even though the HTTP Server is running, how can i get metric info about Oracle HTTP Server, i have also used dmstool -t ohs_server, its not working
It's showing... FLEXMON ERROR : detected invalid table name ohs_server
dmstool -l -t also does'nt lists ohs_server
Hellp me over this.....

Mac OS X Server Forward Proxy(Web Caching)...setup a website for the proxy???

My office is a Mac environment with a couple of windows pcs. To save on bandwidth i would like to setup a Mac OS X Snow leopard server with a web caching proxy, forward proxy. I read this link from apple
Server Admin 10.6 Help: Configuring Web Service Proxy Settings
i understand that to set this up i must enable it on my Mac Server and also on the clients(end user) web browser. What i don't understand is this part:
"When setting up a forward proxy, make sure you create and enable a website for the proxy. You might want to disable logging on the proxy site or configure the site to record its access log in a separate file from your other sites’ access logs. The site does not need to be on port 80 but setting up web clients is easier if its browsers use port 80 by default."
Create and enable a website for the proxy??? I don't understand, why do i need a website for web caching? Shouldn't the settings in the web browser direct the http requests to the mac server and it does the rest, what has a website got to do with it and what type of website?How?
Please help, thank you in advance

Update Portal with new Web Cache location

Hi!
We are trying to move our front-end WebCache to a new server. The Web Cache seems to work allright, but I can't get Portal to access the Web Cache.
After moving the Web Cache I've updated the Portal Web Cache Settings in IAS console's portal:portal instance. OC4J_Portal and portal:portal are running and are not showing any errors in IAS console. When I try to access Web Cache through Portal administrative page i get an error saying WWC-40019 "Could not open web cache connection". The URL Portal uses to access Web Cache admin page i.e. is wrong.
I need some help finding the appropriate way to configure Portal with the new Web cache addresses.
Thank you!
Best regards
"Heyers"

Portal PM, I thought you said that this solution would not work. Everyone I have heard so far has said that you cannot configure webcache to work with Portal documents. Does this work or does it not?
Read the messages below from the bottom up.
It's not possible to do that today.
In 9.0.2 (the next release) we will be using WebCache configured out of the box so you won;t need to, however, till then you cannot use webcache with Portal 3.0.x
Thanks
Portal PM

please try using this configuration on http.conf
Port <webcache port>
Listen <apache listen port>
ServerName <webcache hostname>
you must running ssodatan script again.
Note :
this config only make portal work together with webcache.

Problem in using OracleAS Web Cache as Load Balancer

I have two machines:
aimssrv.world.com and aimsrep.world.com.
Both of above machines are running Redhat Linux AS 4.
On both machines, I have installed Oracle Forms and Reports 10g Services. I have deployed my application on both machines.
I am able to access my application at aimssrv.world.com by doing:
http://aimssrv.world.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=aims
and I am also able to access my application at aimsrep.world.com by doing:
http://aimsrep.world.com:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=aims
I have implemented OracleAS Web Cache at machine aimssrv.world.com, and have enabled the Load Balancing.
In Origin Servers, its showing me two servers:
Host => aimssrv.world.com, PORT=> 7778, Routing=> Enabled, CAPACITY=>100, Failover Threshold=>5, PING URL=>/, PROTOCOL=>HTTP
Host => aimsrep.world.com, PORT=> 7778, Routing=> Enabled, CAPACITY=>100, Failover Threshold=>5, PING URL=>/, PROTOCOL=>HTTP
In Site Definition, I have following information:
Host Name=> aimssrv.world.com, PORT=>7777
In site-to-server mapping, I have following information:
Priority      Host Name      Port      ESI Content Policy      Host Name      Port      Proxy
1      aimssrv.world.com      7777      Unrestricted      aimssrv.world.com      7778      No
aimsrep.world.com      7778                                    No
2      *      7777           Exclude Fragments      aimssrv.world.com      7778      No
3      *      *           Exclude Fragments      aimssrv.world.com      7778      No
In Session Binding, I have selected "JSESSIONID" as session, and "OC4J-based" as session binding mechanism.
Now please guide me as how would I run my application by using the OracleAS Web Cache?
What would be the URL?
Do I need to make any changes in httpd.conf files of aimssrv.world.com and aimsrep.awc.com?
Please guide.
Thanks and regards

hi,
i hv recently configured webcache load-balancing for my 2 mid-tiers.I did not upgrade pre-requisite webcache upgrade patch 4569559 to my 10g rel 2 10.1.2.0.2 OAS and it still worked a bit but I do have some doubts why oracle recommends installing this patch before configuring webcache load-balancing.Have u?
btw u need to collapse all the features of webcache of caching to turn on http load-balancing.U need to add a parameter to internal.xml (LOADBALANCE ON="YES") and register origin servers of both servers with each other and map ur sites so that origin servers of both servers will cater sites of server1 and server2 at the same time.
what worked for me is i registered origin server of server1 at server2 and origin server of server2 at server1 and mapped site of server1 (http://server1:port/forms/frmservlet?config=something) to work with origin server of server2 as well at site-to-server page so that origin servers of both servers will load-balance my server1 site and vice-versa.
But still its not seamless.The initial site request was still being routed to the server which is DOWN first and not seamlessly routed to other server which is UP.Maybe webcache upgrade patch would hv done this seamlessly????
