Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:8080/apex or /htmldb (home page problems)

Hello there,
After installing for the first time the Database 11g Express Edition on my PC, I cannot connect to the local host, in order to access the home page of the database. The error encountered is from the browser, saying that it cannot find the page. Please help.
This question is posted after *7 hours* of searching the web (mainly on this forum) on which I haven't found my solution, so please read the following before you answer:
OS: Windows 7 Ultra 32bit
Operating port - the default 8080, which is not used by any other service at this moment (verified with netstat)
Status of Listener: running (verified with lstnerl status)
Browser: Chrome with no proxy (whatsoever)
Services running (and restarted to make sure): OracleServiceXe, OracleXETNSListener and I have manually started OracleXeClrAgent and MTSRecovery
Database: running, according to the "Start Database" batch
Observations:
- when issuing netstat in the above presented conditions, I have nothing on port 8080, where the HTTP Server should be
- according to the executable made by ORACLE, my database is running but when trying to connect with "sqlplus /nolog" as "system" it gives me error number 01033: initialization or shutdown in progress, which is weird. Even weirder is that the prompt changes to SQL, after this error (like nothing happened).
I don't know what to do, honestly. I have tried everything that I found in the search section until the moment, but nothing helped. Can you please lay it out to me, in a simple form so that anyone could understand? My knowledge is limited, this is the first time when I play with Oracle.

I have not find such a file. And the only thing available in Oradata is an empty folder, called XE.
L.E: Oh wait, I found it.

Problem while connecting to 127.0.0.1:8080/apex

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g XE according to the installation instructions on the oracle homepage with the commands:
rpm -ivh oracle-...
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure
But when i am opening Firefox and try to connect to the oracle server i get the error message: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8080"
I am running SuSE 9.3 and the firewall is turned off.
Thanks for your answers in advance,
Frank

I have started the database after re-booting.
I can also connect to the database with SQL command line.
After searching the forum, I found some other postings concerning this issue. I have changed the ownership if the listener.log file as suggested in one of those threads, but it did not help me. I also set the unix password and tried to run the start script as the oracle user. Except for a couple of display setting warnings, the database and listener starts so I can load the page OK. The page now loads OK even after starting it with my regular user (after run the stop-script as the oracle-user).
However, if I re-boot, the problem is back. I seems that I have to start (and stop) the database with the oracle-user once to be able to start everything with my own user...

Iam installing 11g xe it shows Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 Try reloading the page

Check lsnrctl services output.
Have to have:
database instance running
listener running
http presentation service in `lsnrctl services` endpoints
Without the first two, there is no way number 3 will happen. And variations in the networking setup for the host can also prevent #3 from registering with the listener, even when #1 and #2 are working.

Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 7101.

Hello Everyone,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3. I created a mobile application by which i do simple search in the database. I successfully created a web service and run it on the integrated server. Everything is great! I'm even able to start the service in a browser on: [http://127.0.0.1:7101/MobileExample-Model-context-root/AppModuleService?WSDL]
However, when i try deploying the application on the emulator, I'm getting the following error on application start up:
Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 7101:java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused.
I made sure that i am not behind firewall, and i do not have any proxy.
Any ideas?
Mohamed.

Hello user404,
It's for Android. I tried my IP when creating Web Service Data Controls, i get this error:
WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: Failed to read wsdl file at: "http://10.10.30.54:7101/MobileExample-Model-context-root/AppModuleService?WSDL", caused by: java.net.ConnectException. :java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect.
However, if i put "localhost" so the URL becomes "http://localhost:7101/MobileExample-Model-context-root/AppModuleService?WSDL", the data controls are created. But i get the same error on start up.
Also, 10.0.0.2 results in the same errors as when i put my IP address!

Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi Ozy08,
Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

After update iTunes to the version 11.2.2(3) on MacBook Pro I cannot connect any apple device. iTunes is "hanging". do U have the same problems?

after updat iTunes to the 11.2.2(3) ver I cannot connect any device iTunes after connect device (iPad3, IP5S) is hanging.. and I have to force iTunes to close. do U have the same problems?

Hey there Michal115,
It sounds like you are unable to connect your iOS devices without it becoming unresponsive. That would frustrate me too. I would use the following article about that very issue to help you resolve that:
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
Start with these 3 steps to make sure the other devices are up to date as well, and there is additional troubleshooting to be done in the article if needed:
Install any available software updates for your computer.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
Test with automatic syncing disabled.
For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1

Hello
I recently changed from TalkTalk to BT. Since then, I am unable to connect to http://127.0.0.1 which I need to do for web development purposes. I cannot find any information on this. All my connections and ping tests work fine. Any ideas most welcome.
Thanks

Why would you want to connect to localhost, which is the loopback port?
If you are running a local web server, then you would normally point to the IP address of the webserver on your local network.
I have one running on a netbook and I can access it locally using http://192.168.1.56 or remote via the link below.

HT3228 My email app is locked. Cannot open it. I removed my email accounts but the home page is frozen too so I cant select an account

My email app is frozen. I removed my accounts, but the app page is still frozen.

Quit the Mail app before resetting the iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Oracle 10g XE - unable to connect to the database home page

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g XE on my computer. When I try to open the Database home page at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex, I get a Page not found error.
I have followed the steps outlined in the forums-
a) did "netstat -a"
Output : found that port 8080 isn't being used.
b) did "lsnrctl status"
Output: under Services summary - instance "CLRExtProc" is unknown
- instance "PLSExtProc" is unknown
- instance "xe" is ready
- instance "xe_xpt" is ready
c) did "sqlplus / as sysdba"
Output : Connected to Oracle 10g Express Edition
d) did "select status from v$instance "
Output : Mounted
e) did "select open_mode from v$database"
Output : Mounted
f) did "startup"
Output : started the database
Not sure why the database home page still wouldn't open. Any help is appreciated.

Cannot connect to XE after following "How To" Windows XP Pro SP2

Hi Sharon and everyone,
I have read all related posts, the how-to and tried many times including restarting XE but still cannot connect using SQL Developer. I already have a small schema created using ths SQL Window of XE and can connect using "Toolkit for Oracle" (though this behaves erratically and I don't like it so far). I have succesfully connected also using the XE ODBC Driver from MS Access and INSERTED Rows in a table in the Schema.
I want to use SQL Developer but I get the following message when trying to connect (this PC is Server and Client) :
"Status : Failure -Listener refused the connection with the following error:ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not know of SID given in connect descriptorThe Connection decriptor used by the client was:127.0.0.1:1521:xe"
Inputs used :
Username : system
Password : *******
Basic Tab :
Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port: 1521
SID: XE
TNS TAB:
Network Alias: "XE" (this is the default and there is no mention in the How-To of overriding it at all ! )
If I change the Network Alias to "EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA" or "ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA" I get the same message.
If I try using "Service Name" instead of "SID" I get a similar message but with "does not currently know of service requested". ( All 3 Network Alias values tried)
Please can you help me ?

Hallo Sue,
Thanks for a prompt reply. It helps to know that the Basic and TNS (and I presume also the "Advanced") Tabs are mutually exclusive.
This does not however solve my problem as when I enter the SID "XE" in the Basic Tab I get the error :
"Status : Failure -E/A Exception :Connection reset" the first time I click on "Test".
If I then click on "Test" a second time I get "Status : Failure -E/A Exception :Connection reset by peer: socket write error "
The 3rd time I get :
"Status : Failure -E/A Exception :Connection reset" the first time I click on "Test".
The 4th time I get :
"Status : Failure -Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptorThe Connection descriptor used by the client was:127.0.0.1:1521:xe"
If I check using lsnrctl status the listener is listening on port 1521 (protocol=tcp, host = swisspair2).
A further problem I have had since installing XE which may be related to this problem is that I cannot start the Database Home Page (despite reading all threads similar on the XE Forum I can't resolve this either). The error I get when trying to start the Database Home Page is "The connection was refused when trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080"
Could you suggest any problems that I may have on this "Server/Client" PC (Windows XP Professional SP2)

Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1:8080/apex or /htmldb (home page problems)
