unable to start reports server

[Jan Prause]

Hello!

I am Student who works at a firm and i shall install the Oracle
Application Server. I managed to run Forms applications with the OAS but

now I'm trying to run reports with the OAS. The whitepaper says how i
shall install the reports server. I did so, but I am unable to start the

report server. It says to start manually I should type 'rwmts60 -listen
<reportservice name>' (in my case '60repserv'). When I try to do so, it
always says something like 'Daemon is unable to listen at this port'. So

i tried to use another port but it told me I used the wrong syntax. I
hope you understand my problem, although my english is bad. If anyone
can help me, please answer!

Sincerly
Jan Prause

Hi

Check your TNSNAMES.ora file and make sure that the ip address you entered
is that of the reports server and NOT your database server. The port you
specify in the TNSNAMES.ora file, will be the port that the report server
will listen on.

Hi

Check your the entry in your TNSNAMES.ora file. The ip address for the
60repserv must be that our your reports server and NOT your database server.
The port number you specify here is the port number that the reports server

Thanks for help. I found a solution on a Oracle Board. My fault was, the entry
in the tnsnames.ora was more than one line, but it has to be only one line. Now
my entry looks like this:
60repserv.world=(Address=(protocol=tcp)(host=<ip-address>)(port=1949))
and it works.
