To set up your local development environment, you first need to log in to the Oracle Application Express Administration Services. This is a separate application for managing an entire Oracle Application Express instance.

To log in to the Oracle Application Express Administration Services:

1. In a Web browser, go to the Oracle Application Express Administration Services application. By default, Oracle Application Express Administration Services installs to the following location:

   • If your setup uses the embedded PL/SQL gateway, go to:

     http://hostname:port/apex/apex_admin
     
     

     Where:

     • hostname is the name of the system where Oracle XML DB HTTP Server is installed.

     • port is the port number assigned to Oracle XML DB HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 8080. You can find information about your Oracle HTTP Server installation's port number from the following file:

       ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini
       
       

     • apex is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the configuration file.

       For users who have upgraded from earlier releases, or who have a custom configuration, this value may be htmldb or something else. Verify your DAD with your Oracle Application Express administrator.

   • If your setup uses the Oracle HTTP (Apache) with mod_plsql, go to:

     http://hostname:port/pls/apex/apex_admin
     
     

     Where:

     • hostname is the name of the system where Oracle HTTP Server is installed.

     • port is the port number assigned to Oracle HTTP Server. In a default installation, this number is 7777. You can find information about your Oracle HTTP Server installation's port number from either of the following files:

       ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini
       
       ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf
       
       

     • pls is the indicator to use the mod_plsql cartridge.

     • apex is the database access descriptor (DAD) defined in the mod_plsql configuration file.

       For users who have upgraded from earlier releases, or who have a custom configuration, this value may be htmldb or something else. Verify your DAD with your Oracle Application Express administrator.
