It tells the Oracle listener to monitor for connection requests on a port (8080). In sqlplus, you want to run select gethttpport() from dual; to determine the port that should be used for http requests. OP's problem is either something is intercepting the port, the listener is not aware which port is to be used, or epg is not responding to the listener requests for connection. -- Hans Forbrich Canada-wide Oracle training and consulting mailto: Fuzzy.GreyBeard_at_gmail.com *** Top posting [replies] guarantees I won't respond. ***
