Hello,

I am currently a new user for Oracle 9i Forms builder running in windows. I get following message when trying to run a form from the forms builder:

FRM-10142: The HTTP Listener is not running on SUFYAN at port 8889. Please start the listener or check your runtime preferences.

I have taken the listed steps to solve the problem, bu have been unsuccessful:

1. Checked the preferences on the forms builder - this appears to be set correctly:
'http://SUFYAN:8889/forms/frmservlet'

2. Started the OC4J Instance from the oracle developer/forms developer menu - appears to have worked

3. Ran the form test from the web using the option 'Run a form from web' from the forms developer menu - this failed

4. Tried the listed URLS on the web browser:

http://SUFYAN:8889/forms/frmservelet
http://SUFYAN:8889/j2ee
http://127.0.0.1:8889/j2ee

all of these failed
5. Repeated steps 1- 4 for ports 8888,8890 - failed

Where do you guys think I am going wrong????

What is in your HOSTS file? Look in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Do you have a 127.0.0.1 entry?

It should look like this:

# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

Okay ... we have to work out EXACTLY the name and port of your Developer Server.

@anyone: Where is the best place to find the port number?

I think your port SHOULD be 8888.

@Nayna: Have a look in 'C:\oracle\ora9i\reports\conf\ rwservlet.properties' and see if you have a line like the following 'SERVER=rep_<machine_sid>'? What does this file think is the 'machine_sid'?

Hello David,

I coun't find ora9i, so now i am bit unsure of what version I have. The database is definately 10g. The forms and reports are under DevSuiteHome_1.

I found a file regarding properties, please find them attached. It does not have SERVER=rep-<machine_sid>'.

Thanks

What is the root directory for your Oracle system? [C:\Oracle ?]

What subdirectories do you have under that root directory?

How many Oracle home do you have? [Look in your register under 'My Computer\KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE] Search this forum for 'Oracle home' and you will see the next questions that I will be asking.

In your first post you said:

Quote:

Ran the form test from the web using the option 'Run a form from web' from the forms developer menu - this failed

Please post the message, both error number and error text, that you received.

You have two oracle homes - please verify that either you have the same contents in the two tnsnames.ora files (in network/admin) or that one has an 'ifile' to the other. Search this forum for 'ifile' to see what it does.

Is there anyone from your course that can assist you in the installation? Forms development installation and testing should be a cooperative not competitive activity. Ask someone local to help you.

Dear David,

Yes the tsnnames.ora files (in network/admin) has same contents.

The option 'run form from web' had listed input and output:

Sorry but I am going to be away for a couple of weeks, someone else is going to have to finish this off gor you.

I don't understand why your port is 8889 and not 8888. Have you installed Forms more than once without rebooting before installing it the second time? Please search this forum for problem simiar to yours. USe the 'whole of site' search facility and look for '8888' and '8889'.

I am sure other people have had this problem and solved it. Search for threads and try 'private email' to get their interest.
