Windows cannot find 'http:/.127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again

Question

I am trying to install Oracle Express 11g, after I download the zip file OracleXE112_Win64 - I unzip it, and open Disk 1 then setup. I go through the entire install

Answer 1

Reading through all these answers, they failed to show the "correct" way of doing it according to Oracle.

Oracle is the only software company I know that heavily relies on custom environment variables. To add %HTTPPORT% to your environment variables, you first need to search for "System Environment Variables" in Windows. There, you should find a button "Change Environment Variables". In the new window, select "New" and type in HTTPPORT as name and 8080 as value. Now, log off and on again, and it magically works!

Answer 2

I think it occurs due to the missing of environment variable named HTTPPORT. Just create that environment variable as 8080 will resolve the issue. or replace HTTPPORT as 8080 in the URL.

try this, http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950

Answer 3

I installed Oracle Express Edition and I have the same error. One of the possible reason that is maybe your user does not have permission to open this shortcut. Here is how I solved the problem.

1. Right-click the shortcut and select the properties.

2. Now click the Open File Location. Now you will see there is a Get_Started shortcut.

3. Now right-click the Get_Started and select the properties. Then select your user and give permission to your user in the security tab.

Answer 4

Change 127.0.0.1 to localhost

For example,

Change

http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4500:1003:437338575006149::NO:::

to

http://localhost:8080/apex/f?p=4500:1003:437338575006149::NO:::

Answer 5

Just check that Oracle services enabled

in windows

CTRL + ALT + DEL

Answer 6

I was also facing this issue

Error- Windows cannot find 'http://127.0.01:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again

After some research work, I found out that my HTTPPORT ie. 8080 was occupied by Apace HTTP Server and hence connection by OracleServiceXE could not be established.

What I did to solve this issue was :

1. Go to Windows -> Services, found out Apache2.4 and manually stopped it to free my 8080 port.
2. Clicked on Start Database, and I received message :

The OracleServiceXE service is starting.............. The OracleServiceXE service was started successfully.

3. Manually entered http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 url to my browser which auto redirected me to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950:1:3763261197573303

That's it my issue got resolved.

In order to remember this new url and make sure that next time whenever I hit Get Started I should be redirected to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950:1:3763261197573303 instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950, what I did was :

1. Browse to Directory:\OracleDatabase\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server and search for Get_Started.html.
2. Right Click on Get_Started.html and select Properties
3. Modify your url and click Apply

Hope this Helps.
