10.1.1 OHS Fails to Start When mod_perl is Enabled on Microsoft Windows x64 (64-Bit) 2008

In 11.1.1.5.0 release, Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) installation is successful with OHS start and stop working fine on Microsoft Windows x64 (64-Bit) 2008. But OHS fails to start when mod_perl is enabled by copying

%ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config\OHS\ohs1\disabled\mod_perl.conf

to

%ORACLE_INSTANCE%\config\OHS\ohs1\moduleconf

The console shows the following error:

Process (index=1,uid=2032669523,pid=6444) time out while waiting for a managed
process to start.

To work around this issue, perform the following steps:

1. Complete Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g R1 Patch Set 1 (11.1.1.2.0) and 11g R1 Patch Set 4 (11.1.1.5.0) installation.

2. Go to My Oracle Support:

10.1.2 Oracle HTTP Server Fails To Load mod_wls module on Windows 64-Bit Server Systems

On x64 edition systems of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, Oracle HTTP Server fails to load the mod_wl_ohs module if the MatchExpression property is provided within the IfModule weblogic_module block of the mod_wl_ohs.conf file.

To workaround this issue, comment out the MatchExpression property inside the IfModule weblogic_module block.

For example

<IfModule weblogic_module>
       WebLogicHost <hostname>
       WebLogicPort ....
       Debug ON
       WLLogFile .......
       # MatchExpression *.*
       </IfModule>
