Passive connection 127.0.0.1,6101 missing connect

If you cannot make opmn run during soa installation and get some irrelevant errors on ui and see this error log on opmn.log, do not worry:) You can handle this issue with an easy configuration change on db.

I faced this error when db and soa_suite are designed to be running on the same server. And most probably the default ports are conflicting.

Go to the ons.conf which is under opmn conf of your db_home. Change the settings from "localport=6100 remoteport=6200 loglevel=3" to something like "localport=7100 remoteport=7200 loglevel=3" (of course if they are not in use!). Restart the listener.
Retry the soa installation and enjoy!!

File does not exist: /$SOA_HOME/Apache/Apache/htdocs/em

This error log appears on $SOA_HOME/Apache/Apache/logs/error_log.* when you try to access http://yourhost.port/em and cannot access it.
It just happened to me after successfully installing SOA 10.1.3.1
What you need to do is check whether the ascontrol application is up or not.
Run this to see the applications , their status ,etc

• opmnctl status -app

You will most probably see that it was down:

15831 ascontrol stopped g_rt_id external true

For ASControl to be functional httpserver must be running and the ascontrol application of one of the oc4j should be up. .So you know what to do now:

• opmnctl startproc process-type=home application=ascontrol

Check the status now and retry to access it.
Cheers!!
