HTTP Conf File Details

The Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is the core component for the client-facing interface of Oracle Applications. It is built upon the Apache web server, with Oracle Application Server 10g based on Apache 2 and 11i based on Apache 1.3. Key configuration files for OHS include httpd.conf for core settings, httpds.conf for SSL settings, security.conf for security settings, and oracle-apache.conf for Oracle module configurations. Most files are managed automatically via autoconfig to propagate changes.

Oracle HTTP Server Component

By guru on November 19, 2008 | No Comments

The OHS is the abbreviation for the Oracle HTTP Server. This is the core component for
the client facing interface of Oracle Applications. Much of how Oracle Applications
behaves is controlled from the OHS.
The OHS is built upon the Apache Server project. The Oracle Application server in
Oracle Applications 11i (11.5.10.2) is based on Apache 1.3.
Oracle Application Server 10g Release2 is based on Apache 2.Though we do not have
10g release 2 application server by default in 11i, we can choose to implement the 10g
applications server with 11i.
You can find out the current version of OHS by the command httpd -version
$ httpd -version
Server version: Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.19 (Unix)
Server built: Apr 5 2004 16:17:45 (iAS 1.0.2.2.2 rollup 4)
There are some core files which control the behavior of the Oracle HTTP Server. Again
most of these files are autoconfig managed , so changes to them should be via the Oracle
Applications Manager and autoconfig must be run to propagate these changes to the
respective config files.

httpd.conf
This is manin config file for the Apache based OHS. It contains all vital configuration
information for the OHS like the port on which the server is running, the portocol used
etc.A detailed list of derivates supported by the httpd.conf file can be found in the apache
documentation. Again as mentioned before this file is also autoconfig managed.

httpds.conf
The httpds.conf file is similar to the httpd.conf. The httpds.conf filers comes into use
when apache runs in the Secure Sockets Layer implementation(SSL).Another way make
sure if httpds.conf is being used in your environment or not is to open up the apachectl
file in the Apache/bin directory and check if the httpds executable is being used along
with the httpd executale. something similar to below
HTTPD=/d01/sam/samsora/iAS/Apache/Apache/bin/httpds

access.conf
The access.conf file is natively used to specify the acess control files for the HTTP server.
But in Oracle Implementation of Apache server this file is essentially kept empty and
instead the AccessConfig directive in httpd.conf is used.

url_fw.conf
The URL firewall or the url_fw.conf file implementation is used to provide an additional
layer of security on the external tier.This file comes into play once you define a node as
external.
After this is enabled only the urls specified in the url_fw.conf files will be accessible
through the external tier in a DMZ architecture.Once enabled the httpd.conf file will have
a link to include this file.

security.conf
This file contains the security configuration for the OHS.It has information regarding
security auditing and also location of the security audit log file location.

oracle-apache.conf
This a file that stores the configuration information for various supported modules in
Oracle applications like imeeting , OEM etc.It will contain entries to include these
configuration files.
These module specific configuration file like the imeeting.conf will also reside in the
Apache/conf directory on the application server.
