I fully agree with your views on Oracle Web server, a pig to install and set up, and very prone to problems. When on the inagural Deploying Web Based Applications course, at Oracle Education in Reading it took the tutor a whole day to set up and install OWS. The problem was that all the machines had names beginning in numbers, ie 2223.uk.oracle.com, and OWS won't work in machines where the name begins with a number. The solution was to change all machine names ie X2223.uk.oracle.com

This was a totally undocumented fault, the support staff at Oracle had no idea about it, it was only because someone visiting support overhead the conversation, and purely by chance new of this problem. Received on Mon Sep 14 1998 - 17:43:35 CEST
