Cynthih,

PSP probably refers to 'PL/SQL Server Pages' -- (not the PHP language as [Quoted] indicated in another post) which was intended by Oracle to be a PL/SQL [Quoted] equivalent of ASP or JSP, but actually requires translation into PL/SQL [Quoted] stored procedures (forget the exact tool that's used-- it's really, IMO, not [Quoted] a good approach to web development).

The bottom line is that Oracle's mod_plsql Appache module is needed (also [Quoted] referred to as the PL/SQL Web Toolkit) -- which is typically part of Oracle's Application Server installation.

If you are unfamiliar with the Oracle database, I would not recommend that [Quoted] you try to get the application to work without help from an experienced [Quoted] Oracle developer -- there's a lot to learn, and it's tougher when you're [Quoted] trying to get someone else's code to work.
