If you get following error

a- copy mod_wl_22.so from %MiddleWareHome%\wlserver_10.3\server\plugin \win\32
b- Paste this file in %OracleHome%\ohs\modules\ directory, Locate file named mod_wl_ohs.so in this directory, backup mod_wl_ohs.so file and delete it , Now rename mod_wl_22.so to mod_wl_ohs.so
