1. Re: Virtual Host set up on Oracle iAS httpd conf
Fabian Dec 20, 2012 7:05 AM (in response to user5856470)Hi,1 person found this helpful
http://dev26-mgt:7777 and http://dev26-mgt:1810 was working as
"dev26-mgt" a hostname entry was made in "/etc/hosts file" (hostname is mapped to IP addresses)
Your Current Host file may have an entry as below
11.189.24.58 dev26-mgt
So now, Login through root user,Take a backup of /etc/hosts file.
Make changes in the file as below
#11.189.24.58 dev26-mgt
11.189.24.58 devdr.leeds.gov.uk
Now open a new connection and try , ping devdr.leeds.gov.uk
You should get the output as below
64 bytes from devdr.leeds.gov.uk (11.189.24.58): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.011 ms
64 bytes from devdr.leeds.gov.uk (11.189.24.58): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.017 ms
64 bytes from devdr.leeds.gov.uk (11.189.24.58): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.011 ms
if you dont get the ping as above,then it means there is some problem in hosts file.
However when I enter the http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk it does not find the new virtual server.
Check on the Server,if Port 80 is being used by any other Software
netstat -an|grep 80
If you get the output as Listening or Established then it means Port 80 is already being used by some other software.
If port 80 is available(free) then make the changes as below in your httpd.conf file
NameVirtualHost 11.189.24.58:80
#<VirtualHost 11.189.24.58:1810>
<VirtualHost 11.189.24.58:80>
DocumentRoot /disk0m1/FML/web
DirectoryIndex cpl.htm
ServerName devdr.leeds.gov.uk
</VirtualHost>
Restart Your Http Server After making all the changes,you would be able to access the application directly through http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk

2. Re: Virtual Host set up on Oracle iAS httpd conf
user5856470 Dec 28, 2012 5:11 PM (in response to Fabian)I have set the host file to have
11.189.24.58 devdr.leeds.gov.uk
When I do both
ping devux26-mgt &
ping devdr.leeds.gov.uk
cmd is bringing back "reply from 11.189.24.58..." for both
so host is set
I checked port 80 to be added to httpd.conf. However port 80 is already being used.
oracle@devux26 # netstat -an|grep 80
*.32801 Idle
11.189.24.58.22 192.168.94.2.62864 15616 0 49680 0 ESTABLISHED
11.189.24.58.22 192.168.94.2.55579 16128 51 49680 0 ESTABLISHED
I have also listed the relevant 7777, 7778 and 1810 ports below fyi. I found port 7800 to be free if I am correct. So I used this for the virtualHost info in httpd.conf (see below for spool of that).

Restarted the http server
The http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk comes back with an internet explorer error as though it does not recognise the URL.
When I now enter the above URL http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:1810 ie with the 1810 port no (which is used for the iAS Enterprise manager, http://devux26-mgt:1810). It does pick up the /disk0m1/FML/web/cpl.htm. Which is great.
However its still not picking up the same with just http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk as we would expect using the configured VirtualHost.
Is port 7800 I am using the right one? and please can you adivce further how to open it using just the http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk from the above virtual host. Any help appreciated.
Thanks -
3. Re: Virtual Host set up on Oracle iAS httpd conf
Fabian Jan 2, 2013 10:44 AM (in response to user5856470)Hi,
1st) If you want your application to listen directly to "http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk" instead of "http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:port"
Then you NEED port 80 to be open and make devdr.leeds.gov.uk listen to port 80.
If you configure any other port then you would access the application http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:port
Check on your server which application is using port 80
Loggin thro root,then execute the below command.
netstat -tlnp | grep 80
Once u get the application using the port 80, check whether you stop or configure that application to different port other then 80.
<VirtualHost 11.189.24.58:7800>
2nd) I checked your last post,As u had made above changes..You should be able to access the application only through "http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:7800" and not through "http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:1810"
DocumentRoot /disk0m1/FML/web
DirectoryIndex cpl.htm
ServerName devdr.leeds.gov.uk
</VirtualHost>
and through "http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:7800" it should pickup /disk0m1/FML/web/cpl.htm
Let us know what output are you getting when you hit http://devdr.leeds.gov.uk:7800
3rd) As mentioned in my 1st post
#11.189.24.58 dev26-mgt
If you have done the above changes,then you should getting ping response only when you do ping devdr.leeds.gov.uk
11.189.24.58 devdr.leeds.gov.uk
You should not get the ping response when you do ping devux26-mgt
If Possible Post your entire httpd.conf file
Regards
Fabian
If possible please post your httpd.conf file. -

load: class oracle.forms.engine.Main not found.
Upgrade to SUN Java Plug-in 1.6 and open the Plug_in admin page via Control Panel
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.forms.engine.Main
at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2ClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)

1. Select the tab page "Advanced"
2. Move to the Security menu and click on the checkbox 'Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format"
Give a look at below metalink note
*Forms in SSL Fail After Upgrade of Java Sun Plug-in or Modification of WebCache Webcach.xml File [ID 787739.1]*
