4 Known Issues and Workaround
This chapter describes the issues associated with Oracle HTTP Server.
Weighted Least Connection Uneven Distribution
Issue
Impacted Platforms: Generic
When the weighted least connection routing algorithm is chosen, the active connection count to weight ratio is computed for each managed server. The server with the lowest ratio is selected and if multiple servers have the same value, one among them is selected randomly. Due to this random nature of selecting servers, slight deviations occur which is more pronounced in the case of a small number of requests. But as the number of requests increases, we expect it to level out and make the distribution more even.

Error Reported for Large Post Requests
Issue
Impacted Platforms: Generic
In the WebServer Logs, errors similar to the following example are observed.
Error reading POST data from client - Total length of data currently processed is : 1073741824
. . .
IO error reading client POST data;
. . .
Workaround
As per the Apache specifications, by default the LimitRequestBody value is considered as 1073741824 bytes. In order to allow a large request size, you need to use higher values. You can use 0 to allow unlimited data. However, using 0 is not recommended.
For more information, see Apache Core Features.

Exporting Multiple Wallets
Issue
In OHS 14.1.2, when multiple wallets need to be exported, calls to the

Error Message During OHS Upgrades
Issue
Impacted Platforms: Generic
An error message is displayed during Upgrade Assistant Readiness check if the current version is not supported for a direct upgrade to the 14.1.2.0.0 version.
Workaround
The only supported starting point for upgrade to 14.1.2.0.0 is 12.2.1.4.0. You must first perform an upgrade to the 12.2.1.4.0 version and then try to upgrade to the 14.1.2.0.0 version.

Slow Oracle HTTP Server Startup
Issue
Impacted Platforms: Generic
In Oracle HTTP Server 14c, for each SSL enabled Virtual Host an
export_wallet
program is called to export content of the wallet
configured for that Virtual Host. This is true for both SSLWallet and SSLProxyWallet
that mod ossl handles. In a configuration that has 100 Virtual Hosts, the
export_wallet
program is called 100 times before OHS can
startup which results in the Oracle HTTP Server slow startup.

SSL Connection Failure
Issue
Impacted Platforms: Generic
SSL connection fails when the OHS WLS plugin connects to the WebLogic server using a certificate signed from an intermediate Certificate Authority.
Workaround
Use the WebLogic server identity certificate signed from a root Certificate Authority.
