The End of Installation screen appears at the end of the installation process. It notifies you whether the installation was successful or unsuccessful.
You have successfully installed the Oracle HTTP Server Only installation option of the Oracle9i Application Server. Proceed to Post-installation to complete the installation process.
The following instructions guide you through the basic post-installation tasks for Oracle9i Application Server. Before performing these tasks, be sure to install Oracle Portal-to-Go client from the Oracle9i Application Server Administrative and Development Client CD included in the Oracle9i Application Server CD pack. For installation instructions, refer to Appendix B, "Installing Oracle Portal-to-Go Client".
The post-installation contains the following sections:

Table 3-3 lists the default port numbers on which requests are received for each component.
The following section describes post-installation configuration instructions for Oracle Portal-to-Go:
Oracle Portal-to-Go Web Integration Server hosts services that applications can use to exchange data and information sources via the Web. The Web Integration Server is installed with the Oracle Portal-to-Go components.
Note: The Web Integration Developer, the development environment for creating and testing Web Integration services written in Web Interface Definition Language (WIDL), is installed as part of the Oracle Portal-to-Go client. For more information, refer to Appendix B, "Installing Oracle Portal-to-Go Client". |
The following steps guide you through the configuration process of the Web Integration Server:
From the ORACLE_HOME/panama/WebIntergration/Server/bin directory, type:
prompt> server.sh &
http://host_name.domain:5555
The httpd.conf file is in the ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory.
Create a Personalization Portal (papz) alias. This is needed so that the application server can find the http://hostname/papz/login.jsp URL. Add a line at the end of the Alias section:
# PTG Start Alias /papz/ "<ORACLE_HOME>/panama/server/papz/" # PTG End
The jserv.conf file is in the ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory.
In the ApJServMount section, add the Oracle Portal-to-Go specific mount point:
# PTG Start ApJServMount /ptg /root # PTG End
The jserv.properties file is in the ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory.
Next to the other "wrapper.classpath
" entries, add all the required Oracle Portal-to-Go files to the classpath.
# PTG Start wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>/panama/server/classes wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>/panama/lib/panama_core.zip wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>/panama/lib/panama_papz.zip wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>/panama/lib/client.zip wrapper.classpath=<ORACLE_HOME>/panama/lib/server.zip # PTG End
The zone.properties file is in the ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc directory.
# PTG Start repositories=<ORACLE_HOME>/Apache/Jserv/servlets,<ORACLE_ HOME>/panama/server/papz # PTG End
# PTG Start servlets.startup=oracle.panama.ParmImpl # PTG End
# PTG Start servlet.rm.code=oracle.panama.ParmImpl # PTG End
After installation, you can verify that individual Oracle Portal-to-Go components are properly configured:
http://host_name.domain:7777/papz/test.jsp
"Hello World" should appear on the screen.
http://host_name.domain:7777/papz/login.jsp
The login page should appear. The Personalization Portal prompts you to enter a user name and a password. You can log in using "Administrator" as the user name and "manager" as the password.
http://host_name.domain:7777/ptg/rm
