Note:

Before you can access the Database Home Page from a remote computer, you must enable remote access to the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface. See "Enabling Remote HTTP Connection to the Database" for instructions.

To access the Database Home Page with your Web browser on a remote computer:

  1. Point your browser to the following URL:

    http://host:port/apex
    
    

    where:

    • host is the host name or IP address of the computer where Oracle Database XE is installed.

    • 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 on a computer with the host name myhost.mydomain.com, and you installed with the default port number, you would access the Database Home Page at this URL:

    http://myhost.mydomain.com:8080/apex
    
    
  2. 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.
