Hello j,
i get following errors, my input for host is localhost
port:8080 (i tried 1521 also because it was already filled in by default
and sid orcl (my local database installed on same machine)- localhost would be correct if your database listener is on the same machine
- port 8080 is probably wrong, as this is usually the port for your application server (e.g. APEX Listener in Standalone Mode)
- port 1521 should be right, but is possibly blocked by your firewall
- sid orcl is possibly wrong, because it sounds to much like the default sid which is usually changed during the installation
Please check which port your database listener is actually using for database connections by running
lsnrctl statusIf the ports you find there are not on the firewalls whitelist yet, you'll have to add them there.
For further questions please provide some more information about your environment, e.g. what OS are you on and how did you deploy your APEX Listener (Standalone Mode or which JEE Container?), etc.
