Remove an Oracle HTTP Server (OHS)
Open a DOS prompt window, and at the command line enter the following:
cd \oracle\ias\apache\apache
apache stop
apache -u -n service name of OHS, i.e. OracleHTTPServer
You can confirm the removal of the server by opening Services in the Control Panel.
Installing an Oracle HTTP Server
Again, from the DOS prompt and in the ..\apache\apache directory for the Oracle Home you want to use the OHS:
apache -i -n service name of OHS, i.e. OracleHTTPServer
NOTE: You determine the service name of the OHS - for ease of identification, I recommend using the Oracle Home as the beginning of the name, i.e. "Ora92HTTPServer" or "iSuitesHTTPServer."
Confirm the OHS has been installed as a service in the Services window. It should be started with the startup option set to automatic.
