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

What is OracleAS Metadata Repository home

Hi Guys
i was upgrading the portal .. during the upgrade i need to specify OracleAS Metadata Repository home MRUA script. what is this OracleAS Metadata Repository home . please help me to let me know what is this home is
1. Oracle Internet Directory Home
2. Oracle MRCA Home
3. Oracle Portal Home
4. Oracle Infra Database Home
i am new to this world please help me in this.
Thanks

It depends upon the topology of your environment.
- Do you have an infrastructure which has both an Identity Management and a Metadata Repository? If that is the case, MRep Home is your infra-home.
- if the MRep is installed separately from Id Mgmt, then its home will be where it is installed.
- Also, if you are using the default Portal home then it resides in the Metadata Repository. If you are using a Customer DB to launch your portal from, then the Portal Repository will be in that DB.
Tell us about your architecture a little bit and it will be easier to answer.
Hope that helps!

Installation of Oracle 10g Database on Windows Vista Home Basic

Hi All,
I'm confused about the possibility of installing Oracle 10g Database Server in Windows Home Basic Operating System with Service Pack 1. Please help me out with a confirmation.
Thanks in advance
Prasanth

Hi Prasanth
Yes that should be possible but is it a production database or just a test database.
you can always control that in metalink if it is supported, I don't believe it is.
Read that documentation to perform the installation.

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

Can we install oracle 10g database on Windows Vista Home Edition?

You didn't specify which Oracle10 Edition.
In the case of SE/SE one/EE, with a paid license Supported has a mean impact on production environments with paid licenses, since you wouldn't run on an unsupported platform facing the risk of being left without technical support from Oracle in case of an emerging issue.
For the XE Edition, this is not a certified combination, since the only certified editions are the Business, Enterprise, and the Ultimate editions, but you can try it, you don't have nothing to loose, supported, certified vs. unsupported in this case makes no difference since this XE is not supported either way (no patchsets, no bug fixes, no technical support from metalink), just an AS IS free software.
On the license agreement terms displayed when you download the XE software it states:
"No Technical Support
Our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the programs licensed under this agreement."
and
"THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE."
In case someone would be able to win a trial against oracle due to damage from the use of this software, the amount paid at maximum is 1,000.00 USD, not enough to even pay the lawyer's lunches.
For the XE users the primary source of 'kind of support' is the oracle forums, either the installation forum, the general database or the specialized XE forum.
Of course if this is for your own personal use for learning and testing and there are no third parties you could damage by doing this and if you don't have a paid license for this installation you may try it, but don't expect the Enterprise Manager to behave as defined by the manual, most of it won't work since the Home Edition doesn't have the privileges required for EM to work.
If this is your personal computer and when you bought it the computer provider installed from factory Home Edition, and if you want something to work there, you can try to install a Virtual Machine and install Oracle 10g on a supported guest OS.

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"

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.

What happened to my Oracle Database Home Page ?

Everything was working fine. Suddenly, the browser can no longer connect to the Database Home Page.
What has happened. My Internet connection still works (I'm here). Nothing else was changed that I can tell.
Please Help. Thanks.

I believe I solved the problem - although I don't know how it happened.
I went to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Component Services and noted that the Oracle XE components:
OracleJobSchedulerXE
OracleMTSREcoveryService
OracleServiceXE
OracleXEClrAgent
CracleXETNSListener
were all running (except OracleJobSchedulerXE which doesnt offer a restart option).
I stopped the OracleServiceXE and restarted it. I also started the MTSRecovery Service, ClrAgen and TNSListener.
That seems to have solved the problem.
Any idea how the service got turned off?

Error in Oracle 10g "Go To Database Home Page"

I just downloaded the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition and successfully installed it. But when I click on the "Go to Database Home Page" from the start menu, a new browser window opens up but nothing actually loads on the page. The browser seems to be trying to load the page forever. The URL that is being tried to load seems to be correct: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex. I am using IE version 6.0 on Windows XP. Can somebody help me what I am doing wrong?

Before you proceed with this troubleshooting tecnique, verify the contents of the alertXE.log file, if some issues are reported there, to make you think it is a lack of temporary tablespaces, then proceed as follows:
This alter tablespace command is issued from a sqlplus prompt.
Once you have installed your OracleXE it starts your database and listner processes. Before accessing sqlpus, ensure you have properly defined environment variables:
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID
PATH
Once you have ensured your environment is properly configured, connect as sysdba
sqlplus / as sysdba
This will open your SQL prompt, from there you can issue the commands.

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
Enter values below for the XDB HTTP listener port and the password for the Application Express ADMIN user.

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.

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.
