The URL you are using has the database port in it, but it needs to use the HTTP server port instead. This is usually 8080, which would make the URL http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex

I upgraded to 3.1.2 on one machine and to 3.2 on a different machine.

Both where successful following this suggestion I copied from above:

installing on vista business.
make sure your directory structure is like this

c:\oraclexe\apex

and NOT c:\oraclexe\apex\apex_3.1.1

When upgrading to 3.2, also followed these directions:

I’m not going to upgrade to 3.2 at this right now. Spend some time playing with the default apex. Keep getting the error with the images and not able to login.

It depends on who you log in as as to whether you see the Application Builder in OracleXE. What do you see?

Have you managed to upgrade yet? I would advise checking the Oracle documentation for the 3.2 upgrade as this isn’t something I’ve done yet and they changed the parameters for the apexins script for 3.1. Instead of passing in the password (htmldb in the documentation above) you only passing the other four parameters and there are a few more steps that you need to take. So I would advise checking the Oracle documentation.

I’m not seeing the images like stated in some of the other postings. (red x). Re-installing everything.

I’m downloading version Apex 3.2 right now. Already have Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 installed.

Should I follow steps for the 3.1 install, like:

If you are installing Apex 3.1 instead of entering
@apexins htmldb APEX APEX_FILES TEMP /i/
instead enter
@apexins APEX APEX_FILES TEMP /i/

Any other suggestions with Apex 3.2 install?

apxldimg.sql works fine with the forward slashes and shouldn’t need to be changed. Can you provide more information on the problem you are having and the output produced.

Thanks

SQL> @apxldimg.sql C:\APEX\apex

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

old 1: create directory APEX_IMAGES as ‘&1/apex/images’
new 1: create directory APEX_IMAGES as ‘C:\APEX\apex/apex/images’
-^—-^——- bad windows path “/”

has anyone noticed this? The PL/SQL proc is appending the path with “/apex/images” , shouldn’t it by “\apex\images”

I changed the code in apxldimg.sql to use “\apex\images” and am still having a problem. The images are in the “c:\apex\apex_3.1.2\apex\images” on my PC and this directory appears when I enter this path in the browser.

In my case, I put the Apex installation files on a shared network drive H:\ in the directory H:\apex_3.2. The line of the script that tries to open this directory fails. If I put the files on my local drive C:\apex_3.2 then everything works okay.

I searched Metalink and there are lots of reported problems with using networked drives.

Have you managed to resolve this problem yet? If not, have you checked the following:
- that directory C:\APEX\apex\apex\images exists
- that it’s accessible from the database server
- that the read/write privileges are set up correctly

Can you provide any more information? Do you receive an error when you try to install? Or does it say that it’s successfully installed but you can’t log in?
