Testing http

[so_2]

Hi

This is regarding a problem as described below.
I am having a server in which an application called Finfore is running.The application uses oracle http server(apache).The client usually open the application in a browser http:/edcdbs11.7778/.But it is not working now. Could you please help me in the steps to be followed in resolving this problem. How do i test that it will work as i cannot use the browser here.
Thanks in advance
s.o

Hi,
1. check http is running
ps -ef | grep http
2. If not running start the apache server
.../Apache/bin/apachectl start
3. If running check the port:
grep 7778 .../Apache/conf/httpd.conf

These locations/files assume no modifications were made.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi,
can you please ask the users to test access to:
http://edcdbs11:8765/
http://edcdbs11:8081/
http://edcdbs11:80/

I also assume all your oracle processes were started and the database is up and running.

Hello,

What kind of error message you are getting ? Page not found or some other like 505 ?

If you can't use any browser, you can simply telnet to that particular port(8765)

# telnet 8765 will help you.

Hi

On the server side, use the following commands

# lsof | grep 8765
# lsof | grep 8081
# lsof | grep 80

The output of all the above 3 commands should show that the ports are in LISTEN state.'

If this is thtough, pls use the following commands from any end-user terminal

telnet Server_IP 8765 ( and similarly replace the port no. with 8081 & 80 )

The above three commands should throw up a BLANK Window. However, if there are any Network/Firewall issues crom Terminal to server, it will show "connecting to ..."

You can all try a

netstat -an |grep 7778
