Newbie needs help! Cannot open database home page...

Hi all,
I know this sort of question has been posted before but either it never got resolved or the thread seems to just die...
I have just installed 10gXE and have tried to open the 'homepage' but all I get is 'page not available' errors in either IE Firefox or Opera. I have turned off the windows Firewall to see if that had anything to do with it but it made no difference.
the out put of 'lsnrctl status' is:

which seems ok but then I've never used Oracvle before so I don't know what to look for. (I have years of database experience btw using MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, hell, even Access!)
If I do 'netstat -na' I get:

Any help would be appreciated.

What does your lsnrctl status give you?

Cannot View Database Home Page After Upgrading to XE 3.2 on Windows XP

Hi all,
I have recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 3.2 on my Oracle 10g XE database running on Windows XP SP3.
Unfortunately after successfully completing the upgrade and starting the services when I try and visit the Start -> All Programs -> Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -> Go To Oracle Database Home Page I am receiving a page cannot be found error (or broken link message, depending on the browser I try IE7, Firefox 3.0.10 or Chrome 2.0).
The link I am being directed to is:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex (I have an entry in my Hosts file referring this to localhost).
How can I tell if Port 8080 is still open and accessible? I am using the embedded web pl/sql gateway and tried reconfiguring it again by running apxconf.sql as SYS:
SQL> @apxconf.sql
PORT
8080

I have turned off my Firewall, checked against multiple browsers.... HELP!!!!
I've backed out the 3.2 upgrade and reinstalled and receieved the same issue. The next step is to unistall the XE database and reinstall, but I'm loathed to do that without seeking some responses from this Forum.
Many thanks.
Have a great day.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Hello Roel,
Thank you taking the time to reply.
I had previously tried all those url combinations and still no luck.
I also found out about displaying the HTTP port number. And you were right it was listening on the default 8080. I disabled it and re-enabled it on port 9080 to see if that made a difference but it didn't so I decided to remoce Oracle XE database and go through the reinstallation and subsequent upgarde to APEX 3.2. Everything appera sto be working fime now.
One point of note is that if I view the Listener status now I notice another line from what I had previously referring to the HTTP listener, although my listener.ora file never changed (apart from having the TNS Listener port resuming to the default 1521).

Can anyone answer why this may have been omitted previously? Presumably this is why my browser couldn't render anything from APEX.

Cannot access database home page

I am trying to learn Oracle on my own on home PC. I have Windows XP Professional. When i choose "go to databse home page", it uses this url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb and then tells me the page is not found.
Any ideas????
Thanks,
Ira

I am also having the same problem. This all worked ok on Friday, now I cannot get into the Oracle Database Home Page. The database is running, I can login via sqlplus but I cannot access the database via the Database home page and my application cannot get to it either. It is all on my local workstation. Application cannot make a connection. It gives this error:
'The Network Adapter could not establish the connection'
When I look at services running it is all running, the listener says automatic, when I try to start it, manually it says it started and stopped because it has nothing to do.
I tired the command ALTER DATABASE OPEN and mentioned previously and got the message, 'a database already opne by the instance'.

Unable to open Database Home Page after installation

Hello!
I have made my very first installation of Oracle 10g XE and I have immediately tried to open the Database Home Page, as suggested by the installer.
However, I have got a browser error and I noticed that no process was listening on port 8080.
No Oracle service was running, except OracleXETNSListener. Nonetheless I have started OracleServiceXE as well and it started without visible errors.
However, port 8080 is still not open.
I am really disappointed with my first experience with Oracle products. No errors whatsoever, but an inaccessible home page. In addition, I have noticed other questions about the same problem. No working answers for me. I feel quite frustrated.
Just FYI: I am running Windows XP SP3.
Is there any way to solve this issue at the end of the day?
Thank you and sorry if being offending. I think that a company like Oracle should not tolerate such an unfriendly product installation, especially if counting on winning new customers with its free XE database.
Best wishes,
Georgi
P.S. Yes, I have errors in C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\log files, but they are quite a lot and I can't realize what went wrong exactly. There are probably errors elsewhere as well, but they are not visible to the ordinary user/developer during the installation. Sad.

Hello!
I have made my very first installation of Oracle 10g XE and I have immediately tried to open the Database Home Page, as suggested by the installer.
However, I have got a browser error and I noticed that no process was listening on port 8080.
No Oracle service was running, except OracleXETNSListener. Nonetheless I have started OracleServiceXE as well and it started without visible errors.
However, port 8080 is still not open.
I am really disappointed with my first experience with Oracle products. No errors whatsoever, but an inaccessible home page. In addition, I have noticed other questions about the same problem. No working answers for me. I feel quite frustrated.
Just FYI: I am running Windows XP SP3.
Is there any way to solve this issue at the end of the day?

Sorry, I got confused.
You need to stick you your original post.
Please don't post in someone elses thread, especially when the thread is completely in the wrong place to begin with and you post has nothing to do with the original post.

Edited by: 921562 on Mar 24, 2012 3:35 AMThis has nothing to do with Oracle. Do you have an understanding of how URL's are constructed? The leading characters, delimited by the colon (':') specify http protocol. The string between the first colon and the next (if exists) specifies the fully qualified name of the host, or the IP addess of the host. Take a look at what you have there: //http//127.0.0.1" I really don't think your host name is "//http//127.0.0.1". More like '//127.0.0.1"

Cannot access Oracle XE database home page

Hi
I have just installed Oracle Database 10g express edition on my Windows XP, and the installation seemed to go well.
I then select to go to the database home page after the installation which opens a browser at this address: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex, and i get a The page cannot be displayed' error.
During the install, i was given this information:
Destination Folder: C:\oraclexe\
Port for 'Oracle Database Listener': 1521
Port for 'Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server': 2030
Port for HTTP Listener: 8080
I have tried restarting my computer, but still get the cannot find server error when attempting to go to the database home page.
I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this issue, where they cannot get to the database homepage, and how they may have solved it.
I also have disabled my firewall. but still could not access Home Page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Philip.

Database Home Page - The page cannot be displayed

Hello Oracle Gurus,
Thank you in advance for your response.
I'm running Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on Windows XP. When I launch the Database Home Page in IE I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error.
I have gone through several posts on this forum and I have tried the following 5 things:
1. I have stopped the database (net stop ...) and re-started the database (net start ...). This did not fix the problem.
2. I checked the reading of "select open_mode from v$database;" this returned:
OPEN_MODE
READ WRITE
I assume this is what it should be.
3. I checked the reading of "select status from v$instance;" this returned:
STATUS
OPEN
I assume this is what it should be.
4. In IE -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Local intranet -> Sites -> Advanced, I added 127.0.0.1 to the local intranet zone.
5. I restarted my WinXP PC.
None of the above things worked.
Does anybody have any suggestions of things to try to get the Database Home Page up and running?
Please note that I am a newbie to Oracle so please write your response at the simplest possible level.
Thanks,
K

There's a specific XE forum where they may have better answers than here. See Cannot access Oracle XE database home page

Cannot Go To Database Home Page

I installed...
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) Express Edition for Microsoft Windows (Western European)
...and I choose >Start, >Programs, >Oracle Database 10g Express Edition, >Go To Database Home Page
...and IE6 opens and tries to load this URL
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
...and I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error.
If I try using the machine name...
http://kamoskimxp:8080/apex
...then the page loads; but, it is blank. (This leads me to think that if I knew the exact URL, fully-qualified, for the actual Database Home Page itself, including file name and extension, then I would be able to forcibly load the page. But, after many guesses, that URL is still unknown to me.)
Note -- This box is behind a corporate firewall.
Note -- This box has a built-in, fixed home page in IE that is the company's intranet home page, and this IE home page setting cannot be changed by the enduser.
So, my question is...
...How can one get the Oracle Database Home Page to load under such circumstances?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Cannot get 'Go to Database Home Page' to work on 10gXE after installation

Hello,
I recently installed Oracle(univesal) 10g XE onto my PC. I tried to go to the Database Home Page and am not able to do so. When I click the 'Go to Database Home Page' button, a browser appears with the message 'page cannot be displayed'.
I am using Windows 2000 and have installed the loopback adaptor.
Thanks,
Shane

You might want to search this forum for keywords "10gXE Database Home Page" - this has been discussed many, many times.
In addition, Virag has such an excellent troubleshooting site, it is simply a waste of time to walk through the steps here - go to http://viragsharma.blogspot.com/search/label/oracle%20XE first!

Please help - Unable to get the cluster database home page

I have both the RACDB1 & RACDB2 instances running (and the 2 listeners also) . But I do not get the the cluster database home page. Instead I get startup/shutdown page. EM later confirms both instances are up.
But how do I connect to the RACDB database to perform any admin work from within EM ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Ehm. Before placing? At that point ID doesn't know anything at all about the PDF.
var myPDFFile = File.openDialog("Choose a PDF File");
myPDFFile.execute();
Then check the lower left bottom -- it should display the page size.
Why not first place the file and then check its size? You can always move it to the right position after placing.
Oh, by the way: "a PDF" doesn't have a "page size". Each single page in a PDF can have a page size of its own.
