I haven't tried OWAS 3 yet, but the following applies to OWS21:

First, map a cgi type directory to %ORACLE_HOME%\ows21\bin for every DCD.
A line like this in obj.conf does that:
NameTrans from="/<dcd name>" fn="pfx2dir" dir="<ORACLE_HOME>/ows21/bin" name="cgi"

Furthermore, the hyperlinks in the samples refer to '/owa' instead of '/owa.exe'. You can work around that with this line in obj.conf: NameTrans url-prefix="http://<host>/<dcd name>/owa.exe" from="/<dcd name>/owa" fn="redirect"

Last, the DCD needs to be authorized for the port your using (owa.cfg) and enterprise server should also be registered in OWS (owl.cfg) to the correct port.

Hope this helps,
