Part 1. Overview

This guide provides a step by step walk-through of a basic Oracle Apex 5.0 Installation. If you are new to
installing Oracle Apex 5.0, the Oracle document provides too much detail for every possible platform.
Therefore, I decided to create this comprehensive, step by step guide with clear instruction on how to set
up a Oracle Apex 5.0 environment.
The installation in this document is based on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 64-bit platform, with
Oracle database 12C Enterprise Edition. Besides you can find my other Installation guide for Oracle apex
4.2.2 with Oracle database 11g R2 EE from my blog www.apexexplorer.com
If you already have a pre-configured database then you can skip the
part of Oracle Database installation steps.
Part 2. Installing Oracle Database 12C Enterprise Edition

As Oracle Apex will be installed inside the database, so a pre-configured database is the pre-requisite of
Oracle Apex installation. For this reason we are going to install and configure Oracle Database first.
2.1 General Installation Steps

2.1.1: Downloading Oracle Database 12C installation file:
Visit the Oracle website and go to the download section to download the required database
installation source file as shown in the below:
Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)

winx64_12102_database_1of2.zip (1,580,194,397 bytes)
winx64_12102_database_2of2.zip (1,183,299,689 bytes)
if your computer system is not 64 bit architecture based then you can go for winx32 file
2.1.2: Merging Database Installation files in to a single disk file
This is important to unzip the installation files and merge the both disks in to a single disk file. If
the merging is not correctly done, installation will fail due to file dependency error.
So, we will learn here the technique how to unzip and make a single disk of installer correctly.
After downloading the above file you will get 2 zipped file as shown below:
Let us Create a blank separate folder inside your computer drive as shown in the below:
"Oracle Database 12C_R1" folder will be our final installer disk(Merged disk).
3
First, unzip "Win64_12102_database_1of2.zip" in any drive of your computer. Now go to

inside this extract file and copy the folder 'database' and paste inside the folder "Oracle Database
12C_R1" that you created in the above.
FIg:1 After extracting "winx64_12102_database_1of2.zip" you will find the above folder inside it.
Fig: 2 showing content of Extracted folder " Win64_12102_database_1of2" (database folder) has been
moved to the "Oracle Database 12C_R1" folder.
Now time to unzip folder " winx64_12102_database_2of2.zip". After unzip this file, go to inside
and find folder "Components" as shown below
D:\.....\winx64_12102_database_2of2\database\stage\Components
Fig: 3 Showing the content of "Components" folder of " winx64_12102_database_2of2" after being
extracted.
4
Now copy the above contents of components folder (5 folders) as shown in Fig:3 and Paste inside the
Components folder of "D:\Oracle Database 12C_R1\database\stage\Components as shown in the
Figure-4
Fig:4 Showing the contents of components folder from winx64_12102_database_2of2 has been moved
inside the Components folder of " Oracle Database 12C_R1"
So, we have made a single complete disk of Oracle Database 12C installer.
2.1.3: Start Oracle Database Installation

From the "Oracle Database 12C_R1" folder find the setup.exe and double-click to start the installation.

Oracle Universal Installer will be launched as shown in the Figure 6 to 7.

3.1 General Installation Steps

3.1.1: Downloading Oracle Apex 5.0 Installation file
Go to the Oracle website and download the Oracle Apex 5.0 installation file and unzip it.
apex_5.0_en.zip
In my system after unzipped, Apex 5.0 installation file located in the below directory:
D:\SOFTWARES\ORACLE\apex_5.0_en
3.1.2: Creating Table Space for Apex Installation
There is no GUI Wizard for Oracle Apex Installation. We have to install and configure it inside the Oracle
database server running several scripts manually. Create a separate Tablespace named APEX _TS
where Oracle Apex will store its own files.
Open a command prompt window and log in to the database using SYS user with SYSDBA privilege.
Create a table space named 'APEX_TS' using the below command (Figure 3-1 & 3-2):
SQL> create tablespace apex_ts datafile 'C:\app\oracle\oradata\orcl\apex_ts.dbf'

size 5000M autoextend on next 1m
segment space management auto
extent management local;
Note: After typing the above command press Enter key to execute the command. You can enter any
directory for data file location
Figure: 3-1 showing how to connect database with sys user and create Table Space for apex installation.

3.1.3: Locating Oracle Apex 5.0 source file in the command prompt for install
After successfully created the above table space 'APEX_TS', quit from database connection if
you are already connected or open a new command prompt window as shown in the Figure 3-2,
Now get into the Oracle apex 5.0 installation source directory as shown below
Tablespace created.
SQL> quit
C:\Users\Administrator> cd D:\SOFTWARES\ORACLE\apex_5.0_en\apex
C:\ >D:
D:\SOFTWARES\ORACLE\apex_5.0_en\apex
Fig: 3-2
3.1.4: Start Installation of Apex 5.0

Make sure you are inside the oracle apex installation file directory as shown in the Fig 3-2. now
log in to the database using user SYS with SYSDBA privilege as shown in the Figure 3-3
Now type the below command and press Enter key to start installation :
SQL> @apexins APEX_TS APEX_TS TEMP /i/
Note: Make sure there is at least 1 space between @apexins and APEX_TS, APEX_TS and
APEX_TS, APEX_TS and TEMP, TEMP and /i/

connected in the database then connect using SYS user with SYSDBA privilege.
Now type the below command and execute (Figure 3-9):
SQL> ALTER USER ANONYMOUS IDENTIFIED BY ANONYMOUS ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
SQL> ALTER USER XDB IDENTIFIED BY XDB ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
SQL> ALTER USER APEX_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY APEX_PUBLIC_USER

ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
