Unable to connect to Apex admin page: http://<host>:8080/apex/apex_admin
752606Feb 9 2010 — edited Nov 4 2012Hello,
I recently installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 running Oracle 11g (11.1.0.6.0). I have configured Apex with embedded PL/SQL gateway using: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/install/apexinst/apexinst.htm. Apex configures without issue, however, my browser is not finding the admin page (Firefox/IE locally or remotely). I am getting "Cannot find server" error. It does not appear that Apex is actually listening on the defined port: netstat -an does not show anything listening on port 8080. Also, SELinux and firewall are both disabled. Here is my epgstat output:
