Oracle XE in VirtualBox

Ome BNov 24 2008 — edited Jun 15 2010

Hi there,

I just installed VirtualBox on my MacBook pro because I want to use an Oracle XE database on it, for APEX development.

I installed Ubuntu as a guest OS, installed the XE Database, upgraded APEX.

I used port 9876 as my APEX port, and I forwarded ports 1521 (for the database connection) and port 9876 (for my apex pages) in the VirtualBox config files.

In my host system (os x 10.5.5) I can connect with SQLdeveloper to my database, but in a browser I cannot connect to my apex pages.

Within the guest OS, I can connect to my apex pages using, http://localhost:9876/apex . But within the host I cannot, I tried both http://localhost:9876/apex as http://127.0.0.1:9876/apex

Now I was wondering what went wrong, is this something XE doesn't do, because it's free? Or do I just have to change some settings?
Hope to hear from you soon!
