Re: Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 won't start

Alex:

OAS 4.0.7 is not supported on NT with SP4, only on SP3. More, OAS 4.0.8 is supported with SP5, but not SP4.
notice that the 4.0.7.1 patch
(ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/internet/NT/oas40710/) WILL solve this problem :BUT, its still NOT supported, even if the patch is install with SP4.

Consider moving to OAS4.0.8 with SP5 or downgrade to SP3. if u only wanna test the OAS, install the patch
and test it.
