Apex installation notes

These are -some of- the notes I made when installing Oracle Apex 4.0.2 in a RedHat Linux environment (scenario 4 of my previous post).

## Mount folder located in filesystem in VM

[ ~]# su - root
[root@a005 ~]# mkdir /mnt/vmshare
[root@a005 ~]# mount -t vboxsf vmshare /mnt/vmshare

## Wat is mounted?

[root@a ~]# mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")
/dev/sda3 on /home type ext4 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /tmp type ext4 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /var type ext4 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /app type ext3 (rw)

sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
vmshare on /mnt/vmshare type vboxsf (rw)

## Empty /tmp directory after failed install

[root@a005 ~]# rm -r -f /tmp

## Start SQLPLUS + database

export ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/rdbms/ora11g
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup

## Install APEX 4.0

export APEX_HOME=/app/oracle/product/apx/apx40/
mkdir $APEX_HOME
cp -r -f /mnt/vm/Oracle/apex/apex_4.0.2/* /app/oracle/product/apx/apx40/
cd /app/oracle/product/apx/apx40/apex
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
@apxremov
@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/

alter user APEX_PUBLIC_USER identified by password;
alter user APEX_PUBLIC_USER account unlock;
sqlplus / as sysdba
@apex_epg_config /app/oracle/product/apx/apx40

Finally Assign ACL’s using the PL/SQL procedure provided in the Oracle installation guide.
… and test your install…
