Cannot access http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex on Windows XP

Hi again!

That doesn't look very good. One last try. Please tell me have you installed Oracle XE as the user administrator or as a user with administrative rights? I must admit that I don't know why but you have to be the user Administrator to install Oracle XE correctly. Please try to uninstall your Oracle XE and reinstall again as user Administrator.

Yours sincerely

I have tried all the above as well. As company policy, I have Administrator Rights to my computer. The company has a lot of Oracle databases on the servers, could this be a cause of the problems? Or some group policy?

Thanks

Hi,

I tried to install as administrator, and it still doesn't work. Then changed the files as you suggested, but still no change. I keep getting:

Error 46 initializing SQL*Plus
HTTP proxy setting has incorrect value
SP2-1502: The HTTP proxy server specified by http_proxy is not accessible

any ideas?
thanks,
Einat

Hi Einat!

If this all doesn't help anything then I've to admit that I don't have any ideas how to help you. Maybe there are some Windows Security Features that prevent you form using Oracle but this is only a wild guess from me. Sorry that I couldn't help you.

Yours sincerely

I installed 10g express yesterday as well as APEX and developed a small application. When I tried to connect to APEX from the home page TODAY, no page comes up?! Seems like many people are having the same problem...is there a viable solution for this issue? I can connect to Oracle no problem, I just can't get to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex.

My listener log is failing, but have no idea why or how to fix it...here is the listener.ora log:

Before Installing Oracle,make sure to disable all the network adapters and ping in cmd prompt localhost and ur machine name, both shud refer to 127.0.0.1. Once oracle is installed,try to connect in ur web explorer and once connected,enable the network adapters. There shudnt be any firewall prob.,if it does add port 8080 as an exception to ur firewall list.

I've got the same problem.

But, I also not sure how to disable network adaptors and to ping in to my local command...

can you help?

Not sure what you are trying to do...to disable the network adapters, just unplug from the network.

open control pane-->dbl click network connections-->disable all the network adapters
also make sure in the internet options,On the security tab,add 127.0.0.1 to trusted sites if it is not added.
