Review the HTTP log file. The error is very clear about the missing soft link. It would show this error:
…
<physical Path>/10.1.3/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
<physical Path>/10.1.3/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd: error while loading shared
libraries: libdb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Shut down all Oracle Application Services.
2. As the unix root user, create a soft link as follows:
ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
3. Start up all Oracle Application Services.
This solutions works… you are great.. share you email ID. I would need to send one to one email
This solutions works
