Loging into forms directly
You should able to start application services without any error. If you are able to start application services without any error but still you are not able to login then you should check direct forms login.

For Release 11i : http://:/dev60cgi/f60cgi
For Release 12: http://:/forms/frmservlet
For direct forms logging, below parameter in CONTEXT file should be set to OFF. If it is not set to OFF then make below changes and run autoconfig.

OFF

Once you are able to login in forms mentioned in step 4 but still personal home page login is not working then you can confirm that issue is now with personel home page login only and no issue with APPS password.

------>Option 2.4.2. When using Forms Metric Server


ANSWER
=======

Please note that you need to run autoconfig after each step as given in the Note.

I. On each Web server node, run the AutoConfig Context Editor and set the following.

1. update the .xml file value
Forms Server FND_TOP context value (s_formsfndtop in $APPL_TOP/admin/.xml) to the location of FND_TOP on the Forms Server nodes.

If you have multiple Forms Server nodes, they must all have the same directory structure.

2.set the Metrics Server Load Balancing Host context value (s_leastloadedhost in $
APPL_TOP/admin/.xml) to %LeastLoadedHost%

3.Metrics Server Error URL context value (s_meterrorurl in $APPL_TOP/admin/.xml) to your default Metrics Se
rver error page, if any


II. On all Forms Metrics Client Nodes, run the AutoConfig Context Editor and set the following.

set the Metrics Server Host context value (s_methost in $APPL_TOP/admin/.xml) to the hostname that runs the Pri
mary Forms Metrics Server Process.

For example, if the Primary Forms Metrics Server Process is running on host "formsmetrics.oracle.com", then Metrics Server
Host = formsmetrics.oracle.com


TO DISABLE:
===========
Option 2.4.3. Disabling Forms Metric ServerIf you have multiple Forms Server nodes in your configuration and you use the Primary Forms Metrics Server Process and Forms Metrics

Clients to do Forms Load Balancing, and wish to disable this functionality perform the following steps.

On all Forms Metrics Client Nodes, run the AutoConfig Context Editor .
In the Context Detail screen, set the Metrics Server Load Balancing Host context value (s_leastloadedhost in $APPL_TOP/admin/.xml) to the value of "%s_hostname%" context

variable:

Metrics Server Load Balancing Host = myserver
[ where "myserver" is the name of this host and value of %s_hostname%. ]

Save your changes.
Generate new configuration files by running AutoConfig as described in MetaLink Note 165195.
