My .conf hierarchy goes as follows. $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/apache/conf/httpd.conf which at the bottom contains a reference to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/apache/conf/oracle_apache.conf which contains a reference to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/apache/modplsql/conf/plsql.conf which contains a reference to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/apache/modplsql/conf/dads.conf which is where my dads are configured. My first step from the error message you've got would be to step through the chain of conf files making sure they were all referenced correctly. The next thing to note is that apache parses these files at startup time, so editing the files requires a webserver restart $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopproc ias-component=HTTP_Server $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startproc ias-component=HTTP_Server should do that. $ORACLE_HOME is the home for the web server in all cases - not necessarily the db server. clear as mud no?
