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 installation process without any problems. However when I go to open "Get Started" I come across the following error:

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

  • `%HTTPPORT%` is almost certainly a Windows .bat file variable that doesn't have a value. you'll need either a cfg file change, or a .bat file wrapper to do `set HTTPPORT 4950`. Not sure where you'll need to make that change OR that my syntax for .bat file is correct. Good luck. – shellter Dec 24 '14 at 04:21

    'http:/.127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950' path is in correct as no ip starts with '.' . – Dharmesh Porwal Dec 24 '14 at 05:14

    you only need to use the first part (i.e. [http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950](http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950) I found the answer of how to fix the issue using advice from a duplicated [StackOverFlow Question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13892261/get-started-link-does-not-work-in-oracle-11g-server) – Chef_Code May 22 '16 at 00:16

Open your browser and type instead of "http:/.127.0.0.1:%HTTPPORT%/apex/f?p=4950"

type "http:/.127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950" you can reach home page.

you can set the HTTPPORT as 8080 in environment variables, the problem will be solved.

TLDR; Uninstall and re-install using admin account.

I encountered this error after installing Oracle Express 11g 64 bit using a standard account. After looking for a fix on various sites I realized that the issue was most likely caused by an incorrect setting. Different people suggested editing various files which I was not interested in doing. I found one person who claimed that the issue was a registry setting. Since I used a standard account to install I thought that maybe the registry setting could not be altered using a standard account. So I uninstalled and re-installed using an admin account and it just worked.

You can directly go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 and you will get Home Page Of your Oracle Database.

Right click on the shortcut > choose properties > go to security tab > Choose Authenticated Users > and give permission to do everything

and now try to change the URL you will be able to do it.

Hope this help

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:::

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!

  • in `Environment Variables` window, "New" under `User variables` or `System variables`? – i.n.n.m Sep 23 '17 at 21:13

    @i.n.n.m: That is a good question. It should work in both, and using it in User Variables makes it local to your current user. So if Oracle is installed for all users, use System Variables, else user User Variables. – Markus Appel Sep 24 '17 at 21:36

I have installed Oracle 11g XE on Windows 10 OS. It's installed successfully on my PC but it's showing error which is :
Error:
"windows cannot find 'http //127.0.0.1:%httpport%/apex/f?p4950"

Just follow some steps

In SQL command prompt just type

sql> net start OracleServiceXe after start the Oracle server.

Type SQL> Connect SYS / System as SYSDBA / SYSOPERA

Then type your password which is given by you at the time of installation of Oracle 11g XE. (Press enter).

but You can get login on oracle through this

Note: ( My suggestion to you just type port after http://127.0.0.1:[PortNumber]/apex/f?p=4950 )

http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950

I got loged in successfully.

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

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.

  1. 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.

I encountered this error too, it occurs because %HTTPPORT% isn’t part of the system variables yet.

The solution to this is NOT by manually typing in the url to your browser, which works but you have to keep doing it every single time.

Simply goto “this pc” or “my computer” right click on it and select properties, then select “advanced system settings” When the new window comes up select “Environment Variables...”

Now under system variables click new to create a new system variable. Type HTTPPORT into the variable name text box, Then type 8080 into the variable value text box. Click OK, close the windows and logout!

Thats an important step, make sure you log out. When you log back in, click the get started icon again and it will open without errors.

If any other application is installed on your system which is using port:8080, then try other port like 8081 or uninstall and during installation it will prompt on which port it will run the Oracle DBA server.

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. enter image description here

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

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. enter image description here

I got the same error and when I search here on Stack Overflow and out I've combined what I found and it works for me. Just follow this:

  1. Go to the icon of oracle right click on it choose : open file location.
  2. Choose the get started right click on it choose properties on the URL add what is between brackets to the end of the URL (:1:405838811476023). Or just copy this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950:1:1486912860795003 and put it there instead of the old one
  3. Click on apply.
  4. Go back to the first step double clicks and it will work.
