What is in the error log? Check the docs about setting options as to what is logged..Also, it seems that it is Apache not Oracle that is generating this monster..try shutting down the HTTP service ( Apache), deleting the log , restarting and watching it to see if it still grows rapidly..If so, then you should find out way and fix it.

After that, you can, as others have posted, remove unused components from the default Oracle installed set. Received on Wed Jun 23 2004 - 08:43:51 CDT
