This post covers steps to start OHS<\/strong> (O<\/strong>racle H<\/strong>TTP S<\/strong>erver) 11g on port 80<\/strong> on Unix (To start any process on port < 1024 that process should run as ROOT<\/font>).\u00a0 If you are looking for steps to start WebLogic Server<\/strong> on port 80<\/strong> (Non SSL) or 443 (SSL)\u00a0then click here<\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Steps\u00a0in this post\u00a0assumes that you have standalone HTTP Server (No WebCache or WebLogic Server configured with this HTTP Server – If you have WebCache or WebLogic Server then change Origin Server setting in WebCache\u00a0or some additional settings\u00a0your\u00a0 applications)<\/p>\n

On UNIX systems, if you change the Oracle HTTP Server Listen port number to a value less than 1024, you must enable Oracle HTTP Server to run as root, as follows:<\/p>\n

1. Allow root to start HTTP Server<\/strong>
\n1.1<\/strong>Login as root
\n1.2<\/strong> Run following command as root
\ncd ORACLE_HOME\/ohs\/bin<\/strong>\u00a0 (Oracle Home in Fusion Middleware 11g is under Middleware Home MW_HOME to know more about ORACLE_HOME, MW_HOME or INSTANCE_HOME in 11g Click <\/font>here<\/font><\/a>)<\/p>\n

chown root .apachectl\u00a0 <\/strong>(Note* dot infront of apachectl which in Unix means this is hidden file<\/font>)
\nchmod 6750 .apachectl<\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Change httpd.conf<\/strong>(using user owning OHS – awebtier in my case)
\n2.1<\/strong>Login as owning OHS 11g
\n2.2<\/strong> cd $INSTANCE_HOME\/config\/OHS\/ohs1<\/strong> (INSTANCE_HOME for OHS by default is $MW_HOME\/Oracle_WT1\/instances\/instance1<\/font>)
\n2.3<\/strong>cp httpd.conf httpd.conf_pre_port_80
\n2.4<\/strong> Change value against Listen to 80 (by default LISTEN value for OHS is 7777 or 7778 for OHS with webcache<\/font>)<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>Start OHS using OPMN (using user owning OHS – awebtier in my case)
\n3.1<\/strong>cd $INSTANCE_HOME\/bin (or $MW_HOME\/Oracle_WT1\/instances\/instance1\/bin)
\n3.2<\/strong>.\/opmnctl startall (stopall and startall if opmn is already running)<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Test OHS via URL
\n4.1 Check if port 80 is listening on that machine “netstat -an | grep 80”
\n4.2 Type URL http:\/\/servername:80 (If you don’t\u00a0specify port with http by default it takes port 80<\/font>)<\/p>\n
