Ran into an issue today that I almost forgot about. It was during patching an Mobile Server on a Unix platform. The issue that I ran into was the following:

1. Stopped the server
2. Installed the patch
3. Tried to log into mobile manager
4. Got the following error:
WTG-10118: Mobile Server is not connected to the Repository
WTG-10117: Please contact your system administrator

To find the problem I went to the readme of the patch that stated that the web.xml file might get changed during the install. So, I opened the file and the fix is the following:

Find your web.xml file

<ORACLE_HOME>/mobile/server/admin/repository/webtogo/WEB-INF/web.xml
or
<ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/mobileserver/applications/mobileserver/webtogo/WEB-INF/web.xml
or
<ORACLE_HOME>/mobile_oc4j/j2ee/mobileserver/applications/mobileserver/webtogo/WEB-INF/web.xml

Modify the line in the file from:

<param-value>%ORACLE_HOME%\mobile\server\bin\webtogo.ora</param-value>

to

<param-value>/export/home/oramobile/mobile/server/bin/webtogo.ora</param-value>

The README.TXT tells me to go into my ./patch_storage/6630384/….. directory.  But I couldn’t find it.  So, if you find yourself in the same situation that I was in, the solution has been posted.
