hello,
im facing a problem when running a form, it just gives a blank web page when i run a simple form
i am using forms 10g version 10.1.2.0.2 with oracle database 10g XE and also i have oracle 9i database version 9.0.1.0.1
with 9i listener uses port 1521

If you use MS Internet Explorer, go to Tools - Internet Options - Advanced tab - Security section; check "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".

See whether pop-up pages are allowed or blocked on your browser.

Also, check firewall settings on your computer.

hello littlefoot,
i use firefox as my web browser and i allowed pop ups and turned off norton firewall but still it gives a blank web page
i tried with internet explorer and i allowed active content to run on my computer but i receive a web page "this web page cannot be displayed"

here is a picture of what i receive

is the port number in the listener and forms runtime parameter correct? should it be the same in both?

Have you solved your problem? If not, then search this forum for 'browser'. For example, http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/171917/67467/?srch=browser#msg_171917

Can you get the test form to display?
What error message are you receiving?
What is the URL that you are trying to run?

hi David,

im attaching the test form page, what is the web port number that i should use?

here is whats happening now

when i set the listener port number in net manager to 1521 or 1522 (coz i have 2 databases) and then run the form using the same port numbers in forms runtime parameters i get a blank web page, but when i set the port number in forms runtime parameter to 8889 i get this error message
frm-10142 the http listener is not running on jmora at port 8889, please start the listener or check your runtime preferences.

and when i set the listener port number in net manager to 8889 i get a blank form again,
so i came to a conclusion that whenever i use the same port numbers in net manager and forms runtime preferences i get a blank web page, and whenever i use different numbers i get the error message 10142

another question, what are the port numbers should be in tnsnames.ora file?

and what port number is should use in developer net manager listener settings?
the url in forms runtime parameter is
http://jmora:8888/forms/frmservlet ,

and in the web page is
http://127.0.0.1:1809/eUuB9cPFwX4aPTQZFK1NM5LtmE2Kd66pYSxTlmhFVTS10MHJ

thanks for your help

hi,

you don't need to make any changes in your formsweb.cfg and registry if your forms are installed successfully. I have attached a file with the reply. Just follow the steps mentioned in the file and after following all the steps if you still face any problem then let us know what is the problem after following those steps.

One more thing:
Did you add an entry in your tnsname.ora file in your forms10g home?
This entry should look like this:
10g =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = saadatpc)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)

HOST will be equal to your_computer_name or ip address.
If you mention this entry in your tnsnames.ora file then in forms 10g you'll connect by scott/tiger@10g

If you'll connect only by scott/tiger, you'll not be able to run the form.

Hope this will help.
Regards,

hello saadatahmad

thank you so much for the help, it finally worked
i didnt know about the file portlist.ini so i was using the wrong port (8888-8889) whereas the correct one is 8890

many thanks to you saadatahmad and to the other forum members too, thanks a lot David and Littlefoot as well
