i'm a relative newbie, if this isn't the right place, let me know.

GOAL: get the HTTP server (the one required for oracle workflow) installed.

SITUATION:
sun E450 test box. solaris 10.
enough memory, disk.

the database 10.1.0.2.0 has been installed, seemed just fine.

this combination of software is in the certify matrix--whatever it's called. i DID change those two PROCESSES values that workflow mentions. all well. the database is running.

what else do i need to have running?

unsetenv ORACLE_SID
unsetenv ORACLE_HOME
run the installer. (i saved my answers, just in case anyone wants to see them.)

i give it a new oracle home and empty directory.

here's what it says:

Output generated from configuration assistant "Starting HTTP Server": opmnctl: starting opmn and all managed processes...

opmn id=depdb:6200

0 of 1 processes started.

ias-instance id=standalone

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ias-component/process-type/process-set:

HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server/HTTP_Server

Error
--> Process (pid=8896)

failed to start a managed process after the maximum retry limit Log:
/VOLUMES/dbsw/app/httpg/product/10.1.0.2.0/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1

Configuration assistant "Starting HTTP Server" failed

that file says:

-rw-r----- 1 oraclmis oinstall 908128 Nov 22 18:13 installActions2005-11-22_06-05-02PM.log

and i know nobody wants to see that log file.

the last bit of that log file seems merely to repeat what the other stuff told me.

any help?

thx.
