Apache.exe is maxing my CPU 1

[mwolf00]

I installed Oracle 9i on my laptop for development and training. I run WinXP Pro on the laptop. Now, whenever I start the laptop, apache.exe sucks up all of my CPU processing for 10 minutes (and counting). Any ideas as to why and what I can do to resolve it?

Are there any clues in error_log ?

Have you tried running Apache from DOS ?
You may get some clues from the console output
ie
- set Oracle...HTTPServer service to manual start
- reboot
- go to $oracle_home\Apache\Apache
- do apache -k start

(apache -help will show the other startup options)

FYI, I have 9.2 Apache running fine on XP SP2 and haven't had to jump through hoops to make it work, so your problem is likely to be straightforward config / conflict issue.

Steve,

Thanks for the help!

When I went to look at the error_log, it was over 35M! It also gave me an error when I tried to open it (perhaps because it was so large). I moved it so a new one would be created and tried to restart apache.exe. I stopped it after about 10 seconds - here's the error_log

Any idea what all of this means?

I'm not an expert in iSQL*Plus (I'm not using it on my PC), but clearly your OracleHTTPServer is trying to talk to it and not succeeding.

Try commenting out the line which refers to isqlplus.conf near the bottom of httpd.conf. That may let you get OracleHTTPServer going.

Not sure from your first post whether you really need iSLQ*Plus, but if you have access to Metalink, article 185707.1 may help.
