Windows 2003 server + dbms_xdb.sethttpport('8080') port problems

Experts,
I am running Oracle XE with APEX installed on it. Works great, I have 2 production apps running on it right now. I run a few other applications on the machine, they require the server to be bounced 2 or 3 times per week.
When I bounce the server, Oracle starts back up as expected. I can connect to APEX if I remote into the machine and open up APEX locally in IE using htp://localhost:8080/apex.
The windows firewall port has 8080 configured as an exception.
Problem: In order to allow external connections to http://serverurl:8080/apex, I have to run dbms_xdb.sethttpport('8080'), 1 time per reboot. After I run dbms_xdb.sethttpport('8080'), external customers can connect to APEX with no problems at all.
I do not know why, only that it "works". Any idea what Windows is messing with?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan,
We have also encountered this problem on some installations and we have not been able to figure it out.
To guard against this we created a job under the SYS user that fires every 30 seconds or so to set the http port.
Not the most elegant solution but it works.

Oracle 10g Universe Connectivity From 64bit Windows 2003 Server

Hi,
Have an existing BO XI 3.1 environment built on a 64 bit Windows 2003 server and
I'm having problems getting it to communicate with Oracle 10g universes. Works fine
with its SQL Server 2005 repository and SQL Server 2005 relational/olap universes, but
cant seem to get it to work with Oracle.
Universes work fine on the 32 bit development environment talking to the same Oracle
database, but when move them to 64 bit testing environment they all fail with
Oracle ora-12154 errors.
32 bit Oracle client is installed and can communicate fine with other products using ODBC
connections from the server - but BO refuses to communicate.
Any ideas other than reinstalling BO under 'Program Files' rather than 'Program Files (x86)'
as I've seen some references on the web about this possibly being a problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
Oracle 32 bit and 64 bit connectivity work fine from the server. The problem seems to
relate to bug 3807408 in Oracle 10g that cant handle parentheses in directory names.
So BO being installed in u2018C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objectsu2019 causes it to get
rather annoyed.
SAP Note 1202730 does cover this, but our DBA's aren't too keen on installing the
suggested patch. I'm also not very keen on reinstalling BO in a different directory as
we've got working production sites that would have to be rebuilt.
So now investigating whether using the Oracle 11g client will resolve this.
MSDN forum topic http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/ab662d63-6385-4f73-b27f-d526048f601f/ gives a pretty good overview of what people have been trying to resolve this.

go to services window and set all your Oracle services to automatic instead of manual. this will start your database automatically rather you start it manually

Space Problem in G: - after NW2004s SR1 installation on Windows 2003 server

HI Friends,
I have installed NW2004s SR1 on Windows 2003 server with Oracle 10g database successfully. My server has sufficient harddisk space as follows.
C: 9.6GB
G: 24GB
H:64GB & I: 73GB.
RAM is 6GB
While installing NW2004s i have defined a paging size on C: 400MB-1600MB and
i have set the option as System Manageble on other drives G, H& I drives. I did not get any Swap space problem while installing.
During installation I have chosen G: drive to store MirrorlogA, MirrorlogB, Oraarch, OriglogA, OriglogB folders of Oracle for redolog archives,.Total size of all these folders is 17.4 GB
G: drive has one more folder Program files which is of 155KB and no other files exist in it.
But My system says that I am running out of Space on G: drive and free space available now is only 44MB.
My question is where has the rest 5GB of space gone? Is it consumed as a part of Paging file which i have set on this drive as System manageble??
I have set the same option on other drives too i..e H & I. But i am not facing any space issues for these drives.
What could be going wrong?? Please suggest me how to correct this
Thanks

Installing problem on Windows 2003 Server 64 bit

Dear All,
I'am trying to install XE onto a Windows 2003 Server 64 bit.. The installation process ends without any errors but the database itself seems not to start.
I tried several hints that have been mentioned here within the forum. But none of them worked. While experimenting I saw that there is not a single registry entry of Oracle within HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\Software .
Is there a possiblity to set those needed registry entries manually? Is there a script for that purpose?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards
Matthias

Hi,
thank you for your reply. As 32bit programs should run under Windows 64bit I thought the XE should run under 64bit, too.
The installation of XE itself seems to finish without any errors. But within the log files it can be read that the database has not started up due to a out of memory problem. This causes many log entries within all other logfiles as no database could be created.
The out of memory problem might be the same as within Advice on running XE on a small virtual Linux host ("Virtuozzo") because I am using a virtual windows 2003 server with "Virtuozzo", too.
At this time I am on discussing the issue with the provider. Maybe I will get a dedicated server with Windows Server 2003 64bit. Hopefully the XE could be installed on the 64bit Windows Server because 32bit dedicated servers are rare.
Best regards
Matthias

Problem in installing Oracle 9i R2 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise

We are having problem installing the Oracle 9i R2 Server on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. During installation, it generates error saying "The IP Address of the machine not found". When clicking the "Continue" button, it tries to install other things but few minutes later it asks to stop complete installation or installation of that feature.
But when we installed it on Windows XP it works fine and we have no problem in configuring it. What's the problem with Windows 2003 Server?
If we drop the idea of installing it on Windows 2003 Server, can we make Windows XP maching as a Server?

ORACLE asumes that the first network device you have on your server has a fixed IP address.
Is this the case?
If not so you should install a loopback adapter as network device with a fixed IP.
Does this help?

Problem faced in viewing SVG elements in IE 7 in windows 2003 server machine

Hi All,
We are using SVG to use graphics elements in web page for our product. The web page contains HTML+SVG elements.
If we use an HTML Image element in our web page display and if we draw or configure SVG elements like rectangle or circle over the image element, then on viewing it in browser, the html image element overlaps the SVG elements and they get hidden behind the image.
Please help us in resolving this issue.
This scenarios works fine if we use browser IE7 in windows XP machine.
But on using IE7 in windows 2003 server machine, the problem is faced.
We have tried all possible and valid IE settings and properties to make the display work. But its helpless. The SVG plugin is also installed properly on systems. But still the display is not as intended.
I have attached the working scenario screenshot and non working scenario screenshot
The screenshot here contains an html image which is showing text as Incom tax department and on top of it is SVG element rectangle. This is viewed in Windows XP in IE 7 browser
This screenshot contains the same page above but when viewed in Windows 2003 IE 7 browser. The SVG rectangle is overlapped by the html image element here
Kindly please help us in this regard as we are unable to proceed further with this issue. If anyone of you have face this before, then please help us on the resolution. We will be very grateful
Thanks a lot.

TNS problems in 9i on Windows 2003 Server

Goody day
I have installed Oracle9i Database (and 9i Developer Suite) onto an HP ML370 Server running Windows 2003 Server. My problem is that wherever I need to use the username / password for things like sqlplus, forms, imp, etc I get SERVICE_NAME errors, TNS adaptor protocol errors, Can't resolve SERVICE_NAME and many more in that description field.
Please help.
Thanks
William

You need to look in the listener.ora for the db you want to connect to (did you create one after installing Database product?). Then you need to verify that entries in tnsnames.ora of both DB and DS homes "matches" with listener.ora.
Other than that, it is more likely to have a chance to help out if you provide some details of actions taken and corresponding errors (exact codes and messages).

Problems with Tuxedo8.0 under Windows 2003 Server

Hello All.
Could you please help me?
When we were choosing which OS to install on our Tuxedo developers server we
decided
to try Windows 2003 server. We did not suppose that we could have any
problems
with this choise. But we have!
We use it with DB 7.2 workgroup edition and Tuxedo 8.0 (PatchLevel 172).
When one of server processes crashes (for example by exit(1) or by
exception)
(it happend not so rarely, because this server is actively used in
development
and testing processes) we cannot restart this server process!
When I write "restartsrv -i SrvId" in command line nothing happens.
When I write "tmboot -i SrvId" it says "Duplicate server".
When I write "tmshutdown -i SrvId" it just hangs and I have to wait for 10
minutes
while it says "CMDTUX_CAT:949: WARN: Shutdown failed. 0 processes stopped."
Tuxedo WebAdministration conlsole says almost the same - "Failed to
deactivate SRVGROUP/200
(still in state ACTIVE)-10:CMDTUX_CAT:1689: ERROR: Could not shutdown any
servers".
As a result any server crash (including expected) leads to 15 minutes
waiting!!!
As you understand it cound not be accepted!... and it is very annoying. :-)
This problem never happened under Windows 2000 server (a week before I
returned from site
installation where this software works fine under Windows 2000 server).
How can we solve this problem?
Or should we downgrade our OS to Windows 2000?
With regards,
Dmitry.

Dmitry,
Try a bbclean from the tmadmin command line to clean up the BBL so you will be
able to restart the server using the tmboot command.
In addition to this check the values for SCANUNIT and SANITYSCAN in the ubbconfig.
The observation that it takes 15 minutes for TUXEDO to discover that your server
has crashed suggests they have values that might be too high.

It has got 6GB RAM and has, 5gb of free space in C drive, H: drive has 70 gb and I: drive has 50 GB of free space in it.
I am running Pre_requiste checker tool to check my hardware & software requirements in order to go ahead with installation, as a part of SAPInst.exe execution.
The results of Prerequisite checker tool are satisfied except for one " SWAP SPACE VALUES"
I am getting the message as follows
"The Minimum SWAP SPACE values required is 10994MB and currently you have 5993MB"
How to increase this SWAP space value? Please let me know the procedure.
Currently my server has a paging file details as below : Min size : 2MB & Max size : 9214MB allocated on C: drive. No other drive has paging file allocation.
What effect will I have if i proceed without meeting this requirement??
Suitable answers will be rewarded.
Thanks

IPod Shuffle (2nd Generation) Windows 2003 Server

Hey All,
Having a hard time getting my iPod to sync. Getting this error. "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-48).
I have been researching these forums on a solution and its directing me to update the iTunes BUT, the latest version of iTunes
is not supported on my Windows 2003 Server.
Also, Tried to do a restore and hitting a deasd end there also, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted".
I guess at this point I am confused as to whether the problem is with my ITunes or iPod.
Yes I have an internet connection that works and have dis-abled the anti-virus.
Where do I go from here?
Confused.
Nate

Did this previously work (with this shuffle and computer), and it's not working now for some reason? Or is this the first time you are trying to use this shuffle with this computer?
I ask because, according to the 2nd gen shuffle specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP27
Windows 2003 Server is not a supported version of Windows (unless it is considered "later" than Windows XP). If that shuffle worked previously with the same OS, I guess it is supported... Also, is the version of iTunes "7.4 or later" and does the PC have USB 2.0 (not 1.1) ports.
Tried to do a restore and hitting a deasd end there also, "The iPod software update server could not be contacted".
That seems to come up occasionally. When you do a Restore, iTunes checks with a server at Apple over the Internet to get the latest version of software for the iPod. Possible causes are (1) that server at Apple being unavailable at that moment, (2) a problem with your ISP Internet connection at that moment, or (3) a problem with your computer's Intenet connect at that moment. To comfirm it's not (2) or (3), I would restart your computer and check some other apps that use the Internet (like a web browser or email app) to make sure everything it working properly. Then, immediately try doing a Restore again.
