Hi, In addition. Perhaps you can try to 1. http://localhost:7777 (change to your hostname if is not local) here you should see Oracle HTTP Server 2. Click on Demonstration Tab 3. Click on the Demo column "FastCGI" You will see all the current HTTP server environment in new window look for this line SCRIPT_FILENAME=c:/myoracle/product/10gcompanion/apache/apache/fcgi-bin/echo.exe then you copy your dads.conf file to C:\myoracle\product\10gCompanion\Apache\modplsql\conf then restart the service. If can't work, I will just drop those http' users than uninstall the apache and reinstall, because during the installation it create the conf file automatically.

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?
