You don't have permission to access /pls/MUTHU/fnd_icx_launch.launch on this server.


Investigation of the Apache log files shows the following entries:

    access_log_pls

    <server.domain> - - [11/Jan/2010:10:58:20 +0700] "GET /pls/xxx/fnd_icx_launch.launch?resp_app=SYSADMIN&resp_key=SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR&secgrp_key=STANDARD&start_func=FND_FNDSCMOU&other_params= HTTP/1.0" 403 223

    [Mon Jan 11 10:58:20 2010] [error] mod_plsql: /pls/xxx/fnd_icx_launch.launch HTTP-403 ORA-1017
   
   
Solution:-

In this case the errors were caused by the following entries in the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/apps.conf
   
        <Location ~ /(oa_servlets|servlets|servlet|jsp|configurator|mobile|forms|discoverer4i|emailcenter|soap/servlet|webservices|dmsOACore|dmsDisco|dmsForms|pricing)/framework>
         Order deny,allow
         Deny from all
         Allow from %oacore_fwk_nodes%
        </Location>
   
        <Location ~ /(oa_servlets|servlets|servlet|jsp|configurator|mobile|forms|discoverer4i|emailcenter|soap/servlet|webservices|dmsOACore|dmsDisco|dmsForms|pricing)/oracle.apps.fnd.framework.provider.OAFrameworkHttpProvider>
         Order deny,allow
         Deny from all
         Allow from %oacore_fwk_nodes%
        </Location>
   
For some reason the Autoconfig run did not replace the variable %oacore_fwk_nodes% with the list of servers granted access.
