Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Hi

I have just installed Oracle Database 10g express edition on my Windows XP, and the installation seemed to go well.

I then select to go to the database home page after the installation which opens a browser at this address: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex, and i get a The page cannot be displayed' error.

During the install, i was given this information:
Destination Folder: C:\oraclexe\
Port for 'Oracle Database Listener': 1521
Port for 'Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server': 2030
Port for HTTP Listener: 8080

I have tried restarting my computer, but still get the cannot find server error when attempting to go to the database home page.

I was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this issue, where they cannot get to the database homepage, and how they may have solved it.

I also have disabled my firewall. but still could not access Home Page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks

Philip.
