I installed OAS 4.0.7 and added the patch 4.0.7.1. I'm running on NT SP5, with Oracle 8.0.5. Some problems still occur, but it runs.

Most important of all is not to rely on the NodeManager facility. There are some problems with it under SP4 and SP5 - Oracle support told me. It's better to start things manually with owsctl if you can't get them to work with the nodemanager.

My cartridges don't start automatically because 'a network failure occurred before the transaction was completed' occurs in the nodemanager listener log. This indicates that the nodemanager is not running ok. After starting the cartridge manually, it runs fairly well up to now.

I experienced problems running stand alone. This problem was caused by my network settings. Adding some fake ip-addresses declaring my computer's networkname, switching off DNS and DHCP and assigning a fixed IP-address did the job.
Maybe you should try the same; make it work stand alone with fixed address, connect it to your DNS-network later.
