MS Internet Explorer Crash the Oracle Web Listener on Oracle Web 3.0 Beta 3

Hello:

I am using Oracle Web 3.0 Beta 3 on Solaris 2.4 with Oracle 7.3.2. When I use Netscape, everything seems to be fine (samples, take the train, etc.). But if I switched to use Explorer, my Oracle Web Listener on Solaris will die. The message is, Error: Companion oraweb process failed. If you checked the status of the listener at this time, it will show 'admin' is DOWN.

I was able to re-create this problem again and again when I visited the 'Take the Train' sample.

Once I manually start up the listener admin, things will back to normal. anyone had same experience?

I had trouble to manually start the admin listener yesterday. Now I have found it was the environment variables problem. You need to add ORAWEB_BASE
and ORAWEB_ADMIN to your environment variables. They are,

ORAWEB_BASE=`dirname $ORAWEB_HOME `
ORAWEB_ADMIN=$ORAWEB_BASE/admin

Also you need to add dir $ORAWEB_HOME/sample/source/ to your svadmin.cfg file. Otherwise, you will not be able to get the sample source code page through the links.
