Apex 24.2.5 and ORDS 23.3 not working with non default ports

DBAPEXMay 14 2025

Hi guys, I installed Apex 24.2.5 on my db server and also installed ords 23.3.
Everything seems to work appropriately when using port 8080.

Since I have a second ords instance (v21) running with an older Apex version and a different database on the same db server, I wanted to use a different port for the new installation and modified the config accordingly:

${ORDS_HOME}/bin/ords --config ${ORDS_CONFIG} config set standalone.http.port 8083

Even tried to set the port on the fly using:

${ORDS_HOME}/bin/ords --config ${ORDS_CONFIG} serve --port 8083

As I result I receive the following output:

Configuration:
/oracle/system/apex24/ords/standalone/

2025-05-14T09:37:02.408Z INFO HTTP and HTTP/2 cleartext listening on host: 0.0.0.0 port: 8083

Mapped local pools from /oracle/system/apex24/ords/standalone/databases:

2025-05-14T09:37:14.007Z INFO Oracle REST Data Services initialized
Oracle REST Data Services version : 23.3.0.r2891830
Oracle REST Data Services server info: jetty/10.0.17
Oracle REST Data Services java info: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.27+8-LTS-232

After all, I am not able to call the Apex GUI using port 8083. Only when I stop the other, old Apex instance and revert the config of the new ords to port 8080, I can start the service and call the GUI.

Do you have an idea what I am missing?

I would like to run the new Apex version with port 8083 and the old one with 8080.
