We're trying to use Apache 1.2.5 as a web listener with OAS 4.0.7.1.0 on Solaris 2.6, with little success. We have registered the Apache listener ('barney') through the OAS GUI and have tried to start the listener both through the GUI and via the command line, thus:

[oas2 136:~]> owsctl start -l barney
OWS-08850: Apache `barney` started.

[oas2 137:~]> owsctl status -l all

 Name   Port/Type       Node    System Id
admin   8889 / Oracle 4.0       oas2.fortunecity.com    24323:0
barney  80 / Apache     oas2    Down
www     80 / Oracle 4.0 oas2    Down

[oas2 136:~]> ps -ef | grep barney
  oraoas 25172     1  1 19:00:34 ?        0:00

/oracle/home/ows/4.0/bin/wrbapdm -l barney

The status remains 'Down' generally, even though twice now, for reasons that are not clear, we have wound up with this, although we can't deliberately replicate it:

[oas2 52:~]> owsctl status -l barney

 Name   Port/Type       Node    System Id
barney  80 / Apache     oas2.fortunecity.com    18950:0

[oas2 53:~]> ps -ef|grep barney
oraoas 20328 20291 0 17:47:08 pts/2 0:00 grep barney oraoas 18950 14195 0 17:37:14 ? 0:01 wrbapd oas2.fortunecity.com_Apache_18949 barney oraoas 14195 1 0 16:50:01 ? 0:00 /oracle/home/ows/4.0/bin/wrbapdm -l barney oraoas 18929 1 0 17:36:15 ? 0:00 /oracle/home/ows/4.0/bin/wrbapdm -l barney

However, eve then, telnet to localhost 80 still refuses connection.

Any suggestions? Feel free to mail me direct - take the '.diespahmersdie' out of my address first ;)

BTW here is the config info for the listener, from /oracle/admin/ows/oas2us/httpd_oas2/owl.cfg:

ListenerName=barney
(
ExternalHome=/
)

(
PortNumber=80
(
Proxy=OFF
)
)

(
ServerSoftware=Apache
)

(
Executable=/homepage_1/fct.software/oasapache/httpd_25
)

(
ConfigFile=/homepage_1/fct.software/oasapache/httpd.conf
)
)
