Ken,
(FYI, I used a version of Apache (1.3.12) that came from Apache's web site,
not the version that came with Oracle. And my web servers and database
servers are on different machines. And my web servers are running Kerberos
and SSL. And I still can't believe it all works together.)
Check Apache first. Configure the documentroot directive in the httpd.conf
file. In the directory specified in documentroot, put a simple <name>.html
file. Point your browser to that <name>.html file. If your browser can
execute the little .html file, then Apache is working. So now you have
Apache running and a http process running on your machine, to connect into
your Oracle database, you need some sort of intermediate software. I use
Oracle 6i Forms and Reports.
On the web servers (Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7), I created two users, one
named httpd, which owns the Apache listener process. And one named Apache,
which owns the Apache software. I also have an Oracle user on the machines
that own and run the Forms and Reports software/processes. Root is the user
that starts the Apache listener process under httpd's userid. And all this
is just to get started...
This isn't a simple process - at least it wasn't for me, but you're probably
a whole lot smarter than I am. I had to do a lot of reading and talking to
web people here - I will help you as best I can. If you want any copies of
files I have, I will email them to you offline.

Hi Folks,
I have just installed 8.1.7 on my HP-UX 11.00 box and have Apache running.
Now what? How can I test to make sure apache is talking to oracle and
vice-versa? The install documents don't really explain that part and I've
tried searching metalink but don't know what I'm looking for. Help
