You don't have permission to access /pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin on this server

435938Dec 12 2005 — edited Dec 14 2005

Hi,

I have a test system (RHEL 4) that contains an Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0.
I have installed HTMLDB from the companion cd.
There were no errors while installing the HTMLDB software (not on the screen, nor in the install logs).

After installation there was a port conflict on tcp 6100, this caused my server logs to be full of

Dec 12 12:49:24 orclserv kernel: ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.

errors.

I was able to solve the port conflict by changing the following entry in
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/htmldb/opmn/conf/opmn.xml
<port local="6100" remote="6200" request="6003"/>
to
<port local="6101" remote="6200" request="6003"/>

Now, when I try to connect to http://192.168.0.102:7777/pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin I get the following error:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin on this server.

Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at orclserv Port 7777

The apache logs show the following error:

mod_plsql: /pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin HTTP-403 ORA-1017
[oracle@orclserv logs]$ oerr ora 1017
01017, 00000, "invalid username/password; logon denied"
// *Cause:
// *Action:

This is very strange because I am able to login with sqlplus using HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER/mypassword.
I have changed the encoded password in marvel.conf to a plain password to make sure that it is correct but with no luck.

Here is my current marvel.conf file.

/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/htmldb/Apache/modplsql/conf/marvel.conf :
---------------------------------------------------------------------

    PlsqlDefaultPage htmldb
    PlsqlDatabasePassword mypassword
    Allow from all
</Location>

I have installed HTMLDB on other database versions before, never had any problems.
I have reinstalled HTMLDB on this database, but with the same results...

I know that there are lots of other threads on this forum about the "don't have permission to access /pls/htmldb/htmldb_admin on this server" problem, but none of them contains the solution to my problem.

If anyone has any suggestions what might be wrong... all help is truly appreciated :-)

Thank You.
Pieter
