Unable to Access the home page of oracle 10g express edition.

Question

I have installed enterprise manager 10g and also express edition 10g .But after installing the enterprise manager 10g and trying to access the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex .The xdb username and password is prompted.I deleted the entry in init.ora for the xdb parameter to avoid the userid prompt but still the xdb login credentials are prompted.How can I avoid this message in order to access the 10g express edition home page.

It appears you've got two things listening on port 8080, or more accurately two things that want to listen on port 8080. The winner is probably the Enterprise Manager. The easiest way to check this would be to connect as SYSDBA and run the following to reset the 10gXE XDB listener port:
EXEC dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8181);
Then, attempt to reconnect to the 10gXE on the new port. I suspect a new attempt to connect at the old port 8080 will return the same message. If it doesn't fix it, you should probably inspect the configuration file for XDB. You can do that by running the following:
SET LONG 10000
SET PAGESIZE 9999
SELECT dbms_xdb.cfg_get() FROM dual;
You'll find the template for configuration in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/xml directory. Hope this helps.
