Install and Configure Oracle Application Express Apex 5.1.1,5.x with Embedded PL/SQL Gateway

Hi, for this first post i have compiled different tricks for install apex 5.1.1

Video en Español

First you can follow the original steps for Oracle... Install Apex from Oracle Page

But it will be summarized...

1: Download apex 5.1.1 from Oracle
2: Copy and compress the content in a directory easy access, for example D:\InstallApex
3: Open CMD and go for this directory and write SQLPLUS

4: Loged with  "sys as sysdba", enter your password and continue...
5: Run apexins.sql

@apexins.sql APEX APEX TEMP /i/

 or     @apexins.sql SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/

6: Once complete, change the admin password by running the "apxchpwd.sql" scripts as the SYS user.

@apxchpwd.sql

7: Create the APEX_LISTENER and APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER users by running the "apex_rest_config.sql" script.

@apex_rest_config.sql

8: Run the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway configuration (EPG)

 @apex_epg_config.sql D:\InstallApex

   Note: You can try add "\" or erase it , The command automatically recognize the APEX main folder


9: Update APEX directory images with those from the new release, it could take a lot of minutes:

 @apxldimg.sql D:\InstallApex

10: Unlock the ANONYMOUS account.

          ALTER USER ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

      Note: Make sure that the following accounts are unlocked

ALTER USER xdb ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

ALTER USER apex_public_user ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

ALTER USER flows_files ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

11:  Aditional Config:
           11.1 Open XML DB Protocol Server.

 EXEC DBMS_XDB.sethttpport(8080); 

           11.2 Update quantity of process

            SHOW PARAMETER job_queue_processes
     ALTER system SET job_queue_processes=20 scope=both;

     SHOW PARAMETER shared_servers
     ALTER system SET shared_servers=5 scope=both;

             11.3 Enable remote HTTP connections (optional):

     EXEC dbms_xdb.setListenerLocalAccess(l_access => FALSE);

12:   APEX should now be available from a URL like http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex

13:   Granting Connect Privileges:

13.1   

     DECLARE

    ACL_PATH VARCHAR2(4000);

    BEGIN

    -- Look for the ACL currently assigned to '*' and give APEX_050100a

    -- the "connect" privilege if APEX_050100

    -- does not have the privilege yet.

    SELECT ACL INTO ACL_PATH FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS

    WHERE HOST = '*' AND LOWER_PORT IS NULL AND UPPER_PORT IS NULL;

    IF DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CHECK_PRIVILEGE(ACL_PATH,     'APEX_050100',

    'connect') IS NULL THEN

    DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(ACL_PATH,

    'APEX_050100', TRUE, 'connect');

    END IF;

    EXCEPTION

    -- When no ACL has been assigned to '*'.

    WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN

    DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL('power_users.xml',

    'ACL that lets power users to connect to everywhere',

    'APEX_050100', TRUE, 'connect');

    DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL('power_users.xml','*');

    END;

    /

    COMMIT;

13.2

DECLARE
ACL_PATH  VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
-- Look for the ACL currently assigned to 'localhost' and give APEX_050100
-- the "connect" privilege if APEX_050100 does not have the privilege yet.
SELECT ACL INTO ACL_PATH FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS
WHERE HOST = 'localhost' AND LOWER_PORT IS NULL AND UPPER_PORT IS NULL;
IF DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CHECK_PRIVILEGE(ACL_PATH, 'APEX_050100',
'connect') IS NULL THEN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(ACL_PATH,
'APEX_050100', TRUE, 'connect');
END IF;
EXCEPTION
-- When no ACL has been assigned to 'localhost'.
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL('local-access-users.xml',
'ACL that lets users to connect to localhost',
'APEX_050100', TRUE, 'connect');
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL('local-access-users.xml','localhost');
END;
/
COMMIT;

14: For the first installation you need create a new schema and workspace. for this you can log in as ADMIN.

Workspace: INTERNALUsername: ADMINPassword: ***** 

   

Now you can enjoy of APEX
