That's exactly what I want to do. I have installed 9iDB, 9iDS. As you said,
the apache just installed and run automatically. What I've did to apache is redirect the default location to another folder such that when I input http://localhost/ in IE, it points to the new location (virtual directory?, I'm
not sure). I also started the OC4J although I didn't know what it is.

However, I got error when running a test form (with a text item only). It said
http://localhost/forms90/f90servlet/forms=test.fmx... not found! Received on Mon Jun 16 2003 - 11:54:50 CDT
