The upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2.1 does not load images (EPG)

Hi all

I have had a problem upgrading to APEX of 4.1 to 4.2.1 using the full installation with all languages.

I managed to fix it myself, but still I don't know why she failed the first time. This is why I post this message. In addition, to help others which falls on this problem.

-I am trying to install the 4.2.1 on Oracle 11 g XE APEX.
-J' use the gateway (epg) integrated plsql


(1) I unzipped the file to C:\Oracle\apex_4.2.1\apex

(2) to this directory, I started sqlplus:

C:\Oracle\apex_4.2.1\apex > sqlplus sys as sysdba

SQL:

SQL > exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport (0);
SQL > @apexins.sql USERS USERS TEMP is
SQL > exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport (8080);

Then I restarted the listener.


I went to localhost: 8080 / apex, it transmits to localhost: 8080/apex/f? p = 4550:1: < sessionID > using Chrome. But a white screen appeared. It's something that happens to a lot of people (I read a lot of these problems on the forum)

After some research, I noticed that the script did not create the new directory of images. I still had the images of 4.1 directory! So I backupped the old images directory and downloaded the directory images manually using fileZilla (open a session with the SYSTEM)

Then when I tried to go to localhost: 8080/apex/f? p = 4550:1: < sessionID > I had this popup: "the local server to XDB host requires a user name and password.
This happens in all the major browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome)

Searching on the forum I found messages indicating there is a problem with IE 7, do I have to run this statement: "change user xdb unlock account;" But I tried with nothing doesn't. I continued to get the command prompt. When I clicked on cancel I couldn't see anything. When I used sqlplus xdb/xdb@xe it worked fine.

Next thing I've tried manually removed the images directory. So I ran @apxldimg.sql (parameterless) and the images directory has been recreated, but it contained the old 4.1 files magically! When I went in the hot folder on the installation disk I could clearly see a folder images/apex_ui but it does not simply exist in the database after the execution of apxldimg.sql.

Then I found something in the code of apxldimg.sql. Apparently, it creates a directory on the database to aid & images/apex/1... If the substitution variable '& 1' must have been the location of the files the and it must contain the full path!

SQL > @apxldimg.sql C:\Oracle\apex_4.2.1


After you run this files have been created successfully and I could finally connect.

...

One question remains: Why can't find anything in the log on the loading of the images? And why it did not work via apexins.sql? He completely skipped this step, because no trace of it has been found anywhere in the Setup log. This could be a bug?


Thank you

Dennis.

Dennis,

The apexins.sql script does not take care to install/load the images. Install images has always been a separate step that is often neglected (it is a different process according to the HTTP server, we chose to use). http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/otn_install.htm#BHAJIGDA
The majority of the 'white page' problems on the new facility holds the images not being loaded correctly.

-Jeff
