Confusion about ports

user503699Nov 19 2011 — edited Nov 19 2011
Hello all,

I am using the pre-built "Oracle Developer Days" virtual machine in virtualbox.
One thing that I fail to understand is even though the listener is configured on port 80, which is also the port configured for embedded PL/SQL gateway, how does the preconfigured APEX url uses port 8888?
Here are the details:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ lsnrctl status | grep HTTP
  (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=0.0.0.0)(PORT=80))(PROTOCOL_STACK=(PRESENTATION=HTTP)(SESSION=RAW)))
[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Sat Nov 19 02:20:26 2011

SQL> select dbms_xdb.gethttpport from dual ;

GETHTTPPORT
-----------
         80
And the preconfigures APEX can be accessed using http://localhost:8888/apex/f?p=4550:1
Apologies if this question is not suitable for this forum but would appreciate any help.

Thanks
