Upgrade issue APEX 5.0 to 18.1

Wim MeysAug 22 2018 — edited Sep 3 2018

Hi,

I'm currently upgrading one of my three APEX environments.

For test I'm upgrading my Acceptance environment.

The database upgrade APEX 5.0 to 19.1 went fine. No issues were mentioned there.

I have to webservers with tomcat and ORDS.

Before the upgrade of the acceptance environment, my webserver looked like this.

[tomcat@l0039 webapps]$ ll

total 144960

drwxr-xr-x 6 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 adp

drwxr-xr-x 6 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 adp-acc

-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 49442156 Jan 26 2017 adp-acc.war

drwx------ 6 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 adp-dev

-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 49442156 Jan 26 2017 adp-dev.war

-rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 49442156 Jan 26 2017 adp.war

drwxr-xr-x 14 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 docs

drwxr-xr-x 7 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 examples

drwxr-xr-x 5 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 host-manager

drwxr-xr-x 33 tomcat tomcat 36864 Jan 26 2017 i5

drwxr-xr-x 5 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 manager

drwxr-xr-x 3 tomcat tomcat 4096 Jan 26 2017 ROOT

The images of all three APEX 5 sites were located in /i5/

Because I only upgraded one of three environments, I created a directory /i/ and there I placed the 18.1 images.

Actually I created a /i181/ directory, placed it there and installed apex with these arguments.

@apexins.sql sysaux sysaux temp /i181/

But because of the error I recieved when trying to access APEX (mentioned that it was looking for /i/ instead of /i181/ I moved the directories to /i/

and ran

@reset_image_prefix.sql

Enter the Application Express image prefix [/i/]
...Changing Application Express image prefix

This went without issues.

When I try to access the site now I get an error that APEX is looking in the 5.0 images folder instead of the 18.1

pastedImage_0.png

I guess that I need to do something in ORDS for that WAR file.

Can anyone tell me how I can make my acceptance WAR use the /i/ directory?

thx.

Wim
