Problem : We installed ORARRP utility on a pc. If we create an .rrpt file and double click it the orarrp utility captures the request and pops up a dialogue box. So the orarrp utility is successfully installed in the system. If we use Internet Explorer to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility captures the request. So with IE is working fine. If we use firefox to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility is not called and firefox just presents the .rrpt file on the screen. This issue is met in all platforms, all oracle versions, all firefox versions. It is very important to make it run with firefox since due to another issue some of our clients are forced to use firefox instead of IE.
Solution :
Open “…\OraFRSHome\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf”
in your oracle app server
Try to find this section in the file or maybe a sentence like this :
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
#
# For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution – see
# http://www.php.net) will typically use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
after you find it, add this below it :
AddType application/x-orarrp-text rrpt
AddType application/x-orarrp-ps rrpp
AddType application/x-orarrp-pdf rrpa
AddType application/x-orarrp-rt rrpr
AddType application/x-orarrp-ini rrpi
AddType application/x-orarrp-html rrph
then restart your oracle app service
