[oracle@fserver apex]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Wed Dec 1 13:17:13 2010
Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> create tablespace APEX402 datafile '/oracle2/db/apps_st/data/apex402.dbf' size 1G autoextend on;
Tablespace Created.
After creating the tablespace, exit from the sqlplus window, navigate to the folder where we unzipped the Apex402 Zip file.
from that location, again connect as sys user
SQL> @apexins.sql apex402 apex402 temp /i/
here apex402 is the tablespace
apex402 is the datafile,
temp is temporary tablespace by default
/i/ is the location of the image files. (simply specify /i/ at this time)
Once the process started, keep watching the logfile for the errors. Log file will be created at the base location of apex source files (Unzipped location)

Thank you for installing Oracle Application Express.
Oracle Application Express is installed in the APEX_040000 schema.
The structure of the link to the Application Express administration services is as follows:
http://host:port/pls/apex/apex_admin (Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql)
http://host:port/apex/apex_admin (Oracle XML DB HTTP listener with the embedded PL/SQL gateway)
The structure of the link to the Application Express development interface is as follows:
http://host:port/pls/apex (Oracle HTTP Server with mod_plsql)

Once you see this message, the Apex installation to the Oracle EBS database is completed.
unlock the APEX_PUBLIC_USER account.Change the password using @apxchpwd.sql from apex directory.6. Navigate to the Application server installed directory.
Copy the image files:
Copy the image files from the Apex Base directory to someother directory in the Application server installed directory.
In my case it is APPLICATION_SERVER_BASE/images
7. Move to Apache/modplsql/conf directory and edit the dads.conf file.
Add the entry like this:
Alias /i/ "/home/oraappload/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_2/images/"
AddType text/xml xbl

Bounce the opmn using

Login to the Apex using the URL from Application server:
http://localhost:port/pls/apex_r12/apex_admin
this will bring the Apex login screen, login with the username admin and password as specified during the apex install
then create the workspaces as requested from the admin page.
If You are getting ADMIN/ADMIN_PASSWORD as "Invalid Login Credential Error", thenrunSQL> alter user APEX_040000 identified by welcome account unlock;
