9i, cannot download from Server

[Pol Appan]

Hello,

Experiencing a strange problem, in one PC we have Oracle 9i Application Server running on Windows XP. I copied pdf file or any other file for that matter inside Oracle_home-forms90, and we tried to call that file in the browser, the file is not getting downloaded. Eg: /form90/test.pdf]http://localhost:[port]/form90/test.pdf
the pdf is not getting downloaded.

I tried inside J2ee, still not possible!

What could be the problem?

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

Cosmos

Cosmos,
Is the other machine you mentioned running OAS? What error message do you get? 404, 500, ...

I am getting this error

"The page cannot be displayed"

I am running OAS installed in my pc, it works, but in another pc it doesn't work, where OAS is locally installed

Thanks

It sounds like the request is not even hitting the server. You can verify this by checking the OAS logs for activity.

Possible reasons: the port is not up, the app is not up, ...

Thanks for the reply.

When I run http://localhost:8889/j2ee the default page loads, so I guess
the server is up and running and in that case even the port is correct, I am giving the default port number.

Any help is highly appreciable.

Thanks

Cosmos,
You are correct - that means the port and OAS are fine. Next thing to check is that your specific app started up. This should be in the console or app specific log files.

Yes, my app is running, in the console it's showing initialized.

I am calling a pdf file which I deployed in the forms90 directory, that's all.

Thanks

Cosmos,
It looks like you are trying to use OAS as web server. In a J2EE app, forms90 is typically the context root for the app.
