Yes, sorry. Forms Services are working from the browser. The diagnostic program is failing on "productionserver" only by reporting that the Forms services are not running when they actually are. My guess was that it couldn't find base.htm for some reason. The diagnostic program has no problem identifying whether the Enterprise Manager http://productionserver:1810 is running or not on "productionserver" or whether Forms Services are running on my dev or test Application Server.

I couldn't find anything about the showenv parameter. It defaulted to the Forms version splash page that /f90servlet/ displays.
