Re: OAS 4 doesn't install SQLNet--how create DAD?

John,

I've just completed installing OAS 4.0 and Oracle Webserver 2.1 on a test box and I'd like to pass on a few things I noticed.

1. I am running Oracle Enterprise Server 8.0.5.... and installed OAS4.0 in the same Oracle_Home without any problems (the luxury of having a test box that can be reformatted at will is that you can take these risks).
2. I also had problems creating the DCD for Webserver, but found that it was looking for SQL*Net 2.3, not Net8. Once I got this configured, I was able to get through the rest of the configuration in about 45 minutes. This may be the source of your problems???

Hope this helps.
