APEX 4.0.1. doesn't work with IE8 or Firefox 3.6

807065 Oct 22, 2010 7:50 AM

I updated my IE brwser from 6 to 8: even the login-page for APEX reporst errors.
The whole application doesn't run with Firefox.

Do I have to do any customisation to Firefox and IE8?

Error messages ( as reported by IE8 ):

Hi,

Did you just install or upgrade to Apex 4 ?
What is your database version ?
What HTTP server you use ?

Seems you are done some mistake or used wrong parameters in install scripts

Hi Jari,

thank's again for your efforts!
I'm sorry, it's the first time I'm using APEX.
So, to your question:

I installed Oracle 11 on XP and installed then APEX 4.0.1 from the scratch.
There weren't so many parameters during the installation. With IE6 I could
connect to APEX, so I know APEX works on my environment.

Greetings Hans

Hi,

What is output of this query if you run it as SYS
SELECT comp_id, comp_name, version, status FROM dba_registry WHERE comp_id = 'APEX';
and output of this
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(apex_application.g_image_prefix); END;
Regards,
Jari

The outputs are:

APEX
Oracle Application Exress
4.0.1.00.03
VALID

and

D:\apex4.01\apex\images\

I noticed in a former installation that the trailing \ for the image-directory is necessary, if not
no images are displayed.

Are these values OK so far ???

Greetings

Hi,

Image path should be /i/
You have define wrongly last parameter in install script

You can reset image path with script reset_image_prefix.sql.
Run script as SYS. When it prompt new path enter
/i/
After that you might need upload images again to DB with script apxldimg.sql
