Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) instance - adapcctl.sh: exiting with status 204

Issue

Error while running ADOP cutover phase while applying pre-upgrade AD and TXK Patches (for upgrading from R12.2.0 to 12.2.4)

Error Details

A. This error is thrown on the Console itself:

Executing service control script:

/u01/oracle/VIS/fs2/inst/apps/VIS_ebs/admin/scripts/adapcctl.sh start

Timeout specified in context file: 100 second(s)

script returned:

****************************************************

You are running adapcctl.sh version 120.0.12020000.6

Starting OPMN managed Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) instance ...

adapcctl.sh: exiting with status 204

adapcctl.sh: check the logfile /u01/oracle/VIS/fs2/inst/apps/VIS_ebs/logs/appl/admin/log/adapcctl.txt for more information ...

.end std out.

.end err out.

B. Then I tried by starting the Apps Tier manually by running $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME/adstrtal.sh. Again the same error was thrown.

Further Investigation

A. On further investigation I found the exact error under it log files:

B. Checked the status of HTTP Server

[applvis@ebs scripts]$ ./adopmnctl.sh status

You are running adopmnctl.sh version 120.0.12020000.2

Checking status of OPMN managed processes...

Resolution

1. As shown in the log file there's a syntax error and it couldn't open configuration file oracle_apache_ssl.conf. So to resolve this error simply comment out the command which is looking for oracle_apache_ssl.conf file.

2. Go to /u01/oracle/VIS/fs2/FMW_Home/webtier/instances/EBS_web_VIS_OHS1/config/OHS/EBS_web_VIS/ssl.conf, and then comment out line 115 (see the below screenshot).

3. Save and exit.

4. Restart patch application (or manually run adstrtal.sh to start application tier). And this time patch application will be successful without the HTTP error.

adop phase=cutover restart=yes

VIS environment has changed.

All users must re-source the environment using below command:

source /u01/oracle/VIS/EBSapps.env run|patch

  [END   2015/01/04 04:39:25] adzdoptl.pl run
