Accessing the Database Home Page with Your Web Browser—Local User

To access the Database Home Page with your Web browser from the same computer on which you installed Oracle Database XE:

Point your browser to the following URL:
```
http://127.0.0.1:port/apex
```
where port is the TCP port number for HTTP connection requests. The default value is 8080. You may have changed this value during installation (Windows platform) or configuration (Linux platform).

For example, if you installed Oracle Database XE with the default port number, you would access the Database Home Page at this URL:
```
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
```
When the login page appears, log in to the database using a valid database user name and password.

To log in as an administrator, log in with user name SYSTEM, and supply the password that you specified during installation (Windows platform) or configuration (Linux platform).

Upon successful login, the Database Home Page appears.
