Installing Oracle APEX issue

PotatoBondSep 12 2018 — edited Sep 21 2018

Hello All,

So I started installing Oracle Database 12c (12.2.0.1) along with Oracle APEX (5.1), to get a sense of how these two connect to each other, since i'm new to all this. However, after finishing with the DB installation, i ran into this obstacle with APEX when running the @apexins.sql file (taken from https://docs.oracle.com/database/apex-18.1/HTMIG/downloading-and-installing-Oracle-AE.htm#HTMIG29342):

I checked to make sure i'm on the right container (pdb) and not on root, that the pdb is in read/write mode, also made sure that the tablespaces are there in the right container (i created my own, instead of using SYSAUX like in the example).

Please advise on how to get past this error. Thank you!

The error looks more like an OS style error, you are unable to write or read a certain directory on the OS. This might be because you have a space in your path: d:/APEX app/apex... , the docs say don't do that https://docs.oracle.com/database/apex-18.1/HTMIG/downloading-and-installing-Oracle-AE.htm#HTMIG29342 . It might also be because the OS user you are using doesn't have the right privileges to the appropriate folder.

I suggest unzip the download somewhere else (c:\temp\ is fine), confirm that the directory can be written to (for logs) and then run it from there.

BTW is there any reason you are installing 5.1 rather than 18.1? I have hardly any experience but I upgraded my APEX 5.1 last night to 18.1 and I already feel so much more comfortable using it.

Thanks for your replies, guys! Andrew, it was the space, actually. After renaming the folder, all worked as expected (well, more or less). I needed to unzip the folder to the D:\ drive because i ran out on C:\. Also, I'm using these old versions, because the work environments are on those versions, so i wanted to have a 1:1 sandbox for my learning process.

Again, thank you for your help!
