Oracle 10g express home page is not coming up - sql

I installed Oracle 10g express. Installation went well, But the home page is not coming up.
I can connect using sqlplus but not with Sql Developer.
I checked tnsnames.ora and listener.ora everything looks fine.
Listener is also started. I can always reinstall and see. But I thought better inquire the cause.
Regarding the home page. This is the address that comes up in browser. Localhost:8080
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
I did a netstat to see whether there is any port conflict for 8080, but that port is not in use.
Have anybody faced this issue?

Yes. It is practically a FAQ on the XE Oracle forum.
Firstly, can you connect to Oracle using
sqlplus user/pass
If so, Oracle is up an running (which appears to be your situation, but may not be for a future reader with a similar problem). If not, you can try
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
Once Oracle is up, check that the listener can see the Oracle instance by
sqlplus user/pass#xe
If not, then either the listener is not up, or the 'listener does not know of the service'. Make sure the listener is started (lsnrctl, then start). Make sure the database is registered with the listener
sqlplus / as sysdba
alter system register;
Now you should be able to connect using the '#xe' syntax. Worthwhile verifying the embedded PL/SQL gateway is set up to use the 8080 port
select dbms_xdb.GETHTTPPORT from dual;
On Windows you can use netstat -ab to see if tnslsnr.exe is listening on the port.
Then I'd suggest looking at browser settings (specifically any proxy settings that might be forwarding your request to a machine that has no idea what to do with it) and firewalls (which could well be set to ignore or hide any access to the port).

I had the same problem. I tried this and it sorted out my problem...
1. goto start->run
2.type services.msc and hit enter
3.In the applet that opened, scroll down(in right pane) to figure out the option of "OracleServiceXE" and right click on it. 4. In general tab do->>> startup type "Automatic" and click the "start button".
5. Repeat step 4. for the option "OracleXETNSListener".
close the window.
now, i hope, the problem should be solved....

Check your windows firewall,If it is on it blocks the opening of the homepage.Either you shut down the windows firewall or allow these following ports :
1521: Oracle database listener
2030: Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
8080: HTTP port for Oracle XML DB and the Oracle Database XE graphical user interface
See software requirements in the below URL:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABEBCDB
It worked for me!

Try this ( I'm assuming Windows system )
using
netstat
without anyother parameter would tell you if port 8080 is already open.
Also you can try this:
telnet localhost 8080
If the server answers ( the screen goes blank [or black] ) then the server is up and running.
Try using your hostname instead of localhost.
See if you're using a proxy and not skipping the local addresses.
Also you can see what's the executable that starts the home page and see if it could start successfully.

Thanks for the response guys.
I finally figured out how to solve the issue, but not really the root cause.
Problem 1 - Can not login to oracle admin console.
It was the problem with not adding 127.0.0.1 in the IE intranet sites.
Go to tools>internet options>security>local intranet sites>advanced>
add http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex in the list.
It works fine after this.
But if I go back to the same place again and see the sites, I cant find the url I added sometimes back... Dont know why that is happening. May be some company security is messing up.
Anyways the admin console is now coming up.
Problem 2 - Cannot connect using SQL Developer.
After I did the fix for problem 1, this is also magically working.
I still don't know how security settings in IE affects SQL Developer?
Any comments on this?

hey guys one important fact if u r using IE7 (explorer7) then u wd face certain problem in using 10g, such as not displaying home page.

For Windows 8 simply click on Get Started With OracleXE.... When internet explorer opens up, select the View on the desktop option in the Page View icon (icon with a wrench).
You should now be able to view your page.

I had a similar problem, I was able to connect to SQLPLUS using terminal but on access in browser as it was showing error as you have described. So, I went back to terminal and mounted my database using
startup
and it resolved my problem. This might be the case.

VS code can't ssh to server: failed to create hard link

SETUP
I have a windows 10 PC connecting to my linux server (ubuntu 18.04.2). I run/edit code on my powerful server by remotely accessing the server through VS code's ssh ability. It is super convenient to edit my code on the server with VS code...
THE ISSUE
Visual Studio code won't connect to my Linux server. What is weird is that I am able to ssh into the server from the terminal within VScode by just literally typing ssh <username>#<server-hostname>
However, when I do the Remote-SSH option within VScode then it does not want to connect to the server...strange...
Here is how I remotely SSH into server with VScode built in functionality (marked with red rectangle). Also part of this screenshot is my config file, which I have triple checked as correct (IP address and .ssh/id_rsa_gpu_1_solarpv_ssh location)
HERE IS THE ERROR OUTPUT
MY ATTEMPTS
I have made sure that the config file is setup correctly and that the IP address is correct.
I have ensured that the server's IP address is also in the 'known_hosts' file located at /Users/.ssh/
I even generated my own private key for SSH connection as advised by the great documentation here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/troubleshooting#_quick-start-using-ssh-keys
Still getting the error of failed to create hard link...
With all of my back-end stuff done right, I am absolutely clueless regarding why this is an issue.
After spending literally 9 hours on this issue...here is the answer:
When you launch VScode and remotely access the linux server, the linux server is instructed to download and install a vscode server so that you (on the other side) can remotely connect to the server.
If the server does not have internet just make sure the following setting is ticked
This allows the remote server (without or with internet connection) to get the vscode server running.
To eliminate the "failed to create hard link error" go to the directory mentioned by the error, which in this case on linux server is
navigate to /home/<username>/.vscode-server/bin/0ba0ca.../
then remove/delete the hardlink file and target file which also has
the same name as the directory.
Then just attempt to remotely access your server again through
vscode and all should be fine
Here is also a discussion regarding the issue...if you still have problems https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/2507
I solved this by enabling the option Lockfiles in Tmp:
i just deleted the whole library and it works, i don't see anything wrong with doing that.
rm -r /path_to_project/.vscode-server/
if i'm wrong feel free to correct me :)
Try this
Just in case others need to try the same here is the detail
ctrl-shift-p and choose:
Remote-SSH: kill VS Code Server on Host...
Chose the host name
Selected the platform type (linux)
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/4307#issuecomment-762882247
worked for me.

Microsoft Edge cannot reach VM with private IP

I have a webserver running in an VM (VirtualBox, configured with vagrant) which is assigned the private ip 10.0.0.20. I can reach the webserver with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge. I have activated Allow Localhost Loopback in about:flags.
Does anybody what could be the problem?
Not sure about the root cause of the problem, but here are some options to work around this:
Configure VM Networking to be Bridged rather than NAT;
Use a proxy, e.g. Fiddler;
Port forward, using netsh, ssh or other utilities.
For option 2 and 3, see this answer for details.
I have the same problem and can't find a workaroud -- even after 2 years. I guess the final answer is: Stop using Edge.
Looks like Microsoft is dumping it: [https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/12/post-mortem-tying-edge-to-windows-10-was-a-fatal-error/]
Go to the start menu and type "Internet Options" Select internet options and open he security tab click on Local Intranet then press the sites button.
Control Panel > Internet Options > Security > Local Intranet > Sites
Uncheck "include all local (intranet) sites not listed in other zones" and "Include all sites that bypass the proxy server".
Restart Edge and try again.
If your machine with the webserver has internet access you could use a tool like ngrok to create a tunnel with a public URL to your machine.
http://www.sitepoint.com/use-ngrok-test-local-site/
I'm running the latest win 10 V 1809 build 17763.253.
I have checked several threads that don't show any solution, but I found one thread with a workaround by adding the local IP range to the trusted sites, it works for me.
Second workaround is using the server name instead of the IP address.
Example: http://Computer-name/ which gets resolved to IP version 6 address.
Since this is bug only happens with MS EDGE and works fine with all other browsers, where is the official MS solution ?

Plesk Panel Dedicated SSL Login Issues

Not entirely sure what I did to cause this but when I try to login to my dedicated server plesk panel it partially loads before throwing out an 501 error and says it can't connect to [https://server*--*-*.live-servers.net:11444/relay]. Now the only way I can login is by going to that address then proceed (chrome says it's insecure). Once I do that I just refresh the other page and the login shows up. I think I have to change some settings manually but I'm just not sure what. Any ideas?
:11444 is for Plesk single sign on tool. For some reason it failed on your machine, but also it is quite likely you don't really need it. If you have ssh to your server, try this
/usr/local/psa/bin/sso --disable (for CentOS/RHEL)
or
/opt/psa/bin/sso --disable (for Debian/Ubuntu)

WAMP Apache not starting up

I've trawled through the boards but cant find a solution to my problem.
I've run a netstat, and nothing else is using port 80. I have disabled every bit of security on my system, just to be doubly sure nothing is stopping it.
MySQL boots up just fine, but Apache does not start up. Using the built in port 80 tester also says that port 80 is clear, but when I click the start service button on Apache in WAMP nothing happens.
Any help is appreciated.
Run cmd.exe as administrator. Then execute:
httpd -t
httpd -k start
Are there any error messages displayed?
If not, temporarily disable any firewall and anti-virus software you have. Try again.
If you're still not getting any error messages, uninstall your WAMP and try one of the other distributions - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs
I have had the same problem but I have resolved it by logging out of Skpe, stopping Skype's service called Skype C2C Service and started wampapache Service. After I started wampserver, I then logged in Skype After. Both Skype and amperver work well after this process
Ok just do one thing. If you are running skype then close it. restart all services, It might work as it worked for me.
Some times this occurs when Windows Event log Service is disabled.
I recently faced the same problem,and browsed various answers around web in vain.
But later I remembered that I disabled Windows Event Log Service in Oder to run a game smoothly.So I Enabled that service again and now every thing is working fine.
Download and install vcredist_x86.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328
I opened up services.msc from the command prompt and disabled SQL Server reporting services
& SQL Server analysis services. These services were using port 80.
Then I restarted WAMP Server and it started working properly as before.
Check DocumentRoot directory location if it exists.
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/"
I have solved my problem just following the below steps. Hope this will help to you.
Go to Wamp/Apach/httpd.conf
Under httpd.conf search for Listen in my case its Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Just change the last digit that means your Listen will be Listen 0.0.0.0:81
Save the file, after that start Apache
Thanks,
Amzad
From time to time, with the updates, Microsoft set the 'World Wide Web Publishing Service' startup type to 'Auto'. Try to see if that is your case.
Right-click on your Start button to open the WinX Menu. Select Run. This opens the Run box. Now type services.msc in it and hit Enter to open the Services Manager.
Locate that service and edit with double-clik then set the startup type to 'Disable' to avoid it comes into conflict.
hi the solution is simple.
all you have to do is to right click on wampserver icon on the taskbar and select exit.
after doing that right click on the wampserver.exe icon and select run as administrator option from the context menu.
that's it.
it will solve your problem

Got a minus one from a read call

I connect to a database with read only access using SQL developer. It's a TNS connection. I use a tnsnames.ora, forwarding port script and SQL Developer.
In the past, occasionally, when connecting, I get a error message
Got a minus one from a read call.
Vendor Code 0
If I do a reboot, it goes away. Another friend suggested changed the forwarding port which worked for him.
I recently upgraded to a new computer and now it seems that I am getting the error message consistently. Reboot or changing forwarding port does not help at all.
The port forwarding script contains something like this
putty -L (port):(machine name):1521
Does anybody have any idea? Thanks.
My port forwarding script forwards multiple ports. Somehow separating them into 2 smaller file, this error went away.
Check your sqlnet.ora file and comment if there is any entry like the below.
tcp.validnode_checking = yes
tcp.invited_nodes=(<hostname_1>, <hostname_2>)
Now reload your listener and check the connectivity from SQL Developer.
lsnrctl reload <SID>
