Re: Need help with 11i post install - HELP PLEASE

Billy,

Thanks for the feedback. I suspect that you are right in that port 8000 isn't open. Unfortunately I do not have the nmap command available to me. Kinda new to Linux also !! I have Redhat 7.1. How can I check if port 8000 is open ?

Thanks again.

Dave.
