Cause

The cause of this problem has been identified and verified in an unpublished Bug 5682462.
The root cause for all the failures was that Apache (http) didn't start up because of not having latest RPMS as per install documents

After the install, when trying to start up the http server, this happens:
$./adapcctl.sh start
.
You are running adapcctl.sh version 120.6
.
Starting OPMN managed Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) instance ...
.
adapcctl.sh: exiting with status 204
.
adapcctl.sh: check the logfile
