Working with Oracle HTTP Server Patches

Download patches for Oracle HTTP Server and optional Oracle Java SE (JDK) from the My Oracle Support site and then upload them to an Object Storage bucket.

Note

Ensure that you can access the Oracle support site to download the required patches. See Support Requests.

Managing the Oracle HTTP Server patches consists of the following tasks:

  1. Go to Critical Patch Updates, Security Alerts and Bulletins for all Oracle products.

    Critical patch updates are listed by date. As a best practice, verify the latest updates bimonthly so that you download the latest patches whenever they're available.

  2. Select the latest patch update, for example, "Critical Patch Update - April 2025."

    The "Affected Products and Patch Information" table lists products and corresponding versions that have patch updates and the links to access the corresponding patches.

  3. Download Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) patches.
  4. (Optional) Download JDK patches.
  5. Package all patches into separate ZIP files.
  6. Upload each of the ZIP files to a bucket in Object Storage. See Uploading an Object Storage Object to a Bucket.
  7. Add the Object Storage bucket name to the platform-specific property, Patch Bucket Name (Platform Config) as follows:
    1. On the Properties list page, find the Patch Bucket Name (Platform Config) property name. If you need help finding the list page or the property, see Listing Properties.
    2. From the Actions menu for the property, select Edit.
    3. On the Edit property page, add the bucket name.

      See Properties in Fleet Application Management.

Downloading Oracle HTTP Server Patches

Ensure that you have already signed in to My Oracle Cloud Support and navigated to your account.

Download patches for Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) versions 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.2.0.0 from My Oracle Support.

  1. In the "Affected Products and Patch Information" table on the critical patch update page, find the row for Oracle HTTP Server, versions 12.2.1.4.0, 14.1.2.0.0 in the "Affected Product and Versions" column.
  2. In the "Patch Availability Document" column for that row, select the Fusion Middleware link.
    The Fusion Middleware critical patch update page opens in My Oracle Support.
  3. From the left side of the page, select Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0.
    You can select a required Oracle HTTP Server version, as applicable.
    A table is displayed that lists information about the Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0 patch bundle with a patch number.
  4. In the "Patch Advisor" column, select Click here.
    The critical patch update patch advisor for the Oracle Fusion Middleware page opens.
  5. On the Introduction tab, review information about all security patches.
  6. Select the Oracle HTTP Server tab.
  7. To download all Oracle HTTP Server 12.2.1.4.0 patches, select the patch links under Option 2 and download the files to a local computer.
  8. (Optional) Proceed to the next section, (Optional) Downloading JDK Patches if required.

Packaging Each Patch File Set

Create two folders: one for Oracle HTTP Server and another for optional JDK patches is required.

  1. On the local computer where you downloaded the JDK and Oracle HTTP Server patch files, create two folders and name them as the patch IDs of the Oracle HTTP Server bundle and Oracle JDK bundle, for example, 37677581 and 27838191.
  2. Add the JDK and Oracle HTTP Server patches to the folders you created.
  3. Compress each of the folder contents into a ZIP file. The zip file name can be <patch_ID>.zip, for example, 37677581.zip and 27838191.zip.
  4. Go to step 6 under Working with Oracle HTTP Server Patches.
