What is Oracle HTTP Server?

Oracle HTTP Server or OHS is an extension of the standard Apache distribution. It provides a robust and reliable Web server. You can access to FORMS, REPORTS, Discoverer, and Portal via the Web. You can access to Oracle stored procedures with a PL/SQL engine. It provides failover and supports J2EE (OC4J).

How to start and stop the HTTP Server manually:

The Oracle HTTP Server –OHS- is managed by the OPMN utility.
# cd $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin
# ./opmnctl startproc process-type=HTTP_Server -- starts the process
# ./opmnctl stopproc process-type=HTTP_Server -- stops the process
# ./opmnctl status – gives status information
