Oracle Forms ListenerServlet init() not starting

[Linda Thomas]

I got the PE of Oracle that came with my textbook and installed it including the Developer Suite on my laptop. My teacher has been unable to help me resolve the problems I've encountered trying to run forms. First I had issues with SERVICE_NAME but I managed to get it to let me login with the correct database name. Now when I try to run a form the browser opens up and then immediately shuts down. I checked my Start OC4J console with the one working on the destops at school and I am missing one line:

FormsServlet init():
configFileName: c:\oradev92/forms90/server/formsweb.cfg
testMode: false
ListenerServlet init()

I am missing the last line, ListenerServlet init(). These 4 lines only appear in the console window after I run a form, not when OC4J is started.

I have gone into the Preferences and set the browser to IE's .exe file because I was getting http://%20%20 infront of the url.

Teacher has no clue, can anyone help me get this running?

Can you run a test default Form? Are you running 9iAS V2 or 10gAS? I see you're running on Windows, sometimes the best thing to do is bounce it and see if that clears up problems especially if you are on 9iAS V2.

Thanks,
Mike

I tested the Oracle9iAS Containers for J2EE by typing http://127.0.0.1:8888 in a browser and got that page to display. When I try another page (like the ones included on the student data cd) the browser shuts down so fast I can't see what's happening on the browser (if there is an error or something).

I've read that I should try stopping IIS Admin Service and antivirus service and start OracleService, OracleSuitesTNSListener, and OracleiSuitesHTTPServer (typo?) then OC4J Instance. I haven't figured out if I go through Control Panel > Administration > Services (most say Services is on Control Panel but I have to go one deeper into Admin to find it) or if I turn them on like I do the OC4J Instance. The teacher has no idea at this point. He says he loaded it up the same way it is spelled out in the documentation Oracle provides to install the PE and its working on his machine. I don't know if he has IIS running though, it is on my computer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Oracle 3x to no avail. I've followed the instructions step by step on my desktop as I installed on my laptop.

I know that I'm not getting the ListenerServer init() line showing up when I run a form. This shows up on the school computers which work but not on my laptop.
