Moving ye’ olde Web Server

So Ron and I moved Oracle’s web server from one box to another. Ross had done all the prep work, and Ron and I would have done it in no time, but we ran into some issues.

1. You can’t use ports on Unix 2. Even if you are root, a very specific file has to be owned by root (not oracle) for it to even start.

Anyway, with setup from Ross, and help/configs from Ron we got it rolling.
Overall it was a very smooth transition. I’m not sure I’ve heard a thing about it from the SRD.

On a side note, the most complicated issue I expected was the Oracle Wallet (and it’s Certs), but it turns out that you can simply copy the folder over an POOF! it works ….
That’s pretty slick and saved us a lot of time.
