Oracle have changed buildimage to build container about docker-apex-stack

[VanadiumJade]

Apex is working now :)

Thanks again

[fuzziebrain]

Thanks @VanadiumJade for reporting this. I too had noticed this when I did a build earlier this week. Will have it fixed ASAP.

[VanadiumJade]

I followed your instructions (apart from above modification) but I cant open apex to port 50080.
http://host:50080/

I did a port scan and only 15121 is open.
so 50080 and 55500 are not open or being responded too.

Any ideas?

You should probably use http://localhost:50080/ords/apex, but it does sound like APEX and/or ORDS might have failed to install. Can you please open a new issue and then post the outputs from the 02-run.sh script?

It just gets stuck at the last step:

http://localhost:50080/ords/apex

this didnt make any difference... got the you cant reach this page and ports are not open.

[fuzziebrain]

If the log ended there then it means APEX and ORDS weren't deployed. Did you try running the command without "sudo"?

If not, please remove the directory das-oradata that would have been created during the run command. Re-run the command: bash 02-run.sh das mysettings.env

I have removed that folder, and am just re-running without sudo. (I only ran it with sudo - I think documentation says prefer sudo).

It does. Think I'll remove it for now.

RTU_ENABLED=Y

You have this set to "Y", is that your intention? I haven't tested this for quite a while and am considering removing this feature.

[VanadiumJade]

From memory it failed sometime into the process if "RTU_ENABLED=N"
.... But I have just set it to N, and it has started building the environment.

Thanks so much for helping! I have spent literal days trying to get a apex 19+ with XE 18c going!!!
(inside a docker - all the examples are for 11xe or dont work anymore).. must have tried 10 different ones.

I have done 10 years of apex development - but never had to do environment stuff, and its by no way simple.
I feel for DBAs. Im sure oracle could make installation a little easier!

The RTU_ENABLED feature was more an experimental feature in scenarios where someone might want the Docker image to have the database created and APEX and ORDS installed. It involves hacking the Dockerfile and scripts from the upstream project and is therefore very sensitive to changes. That's probably why it isn't working right now.

They did! They've given you the Oracle Autonomous Database. ;-) But yes, I too wish it was a simple button click and it used to be that way until things moved really fast with APEX and ORDS.

Anyways, I'm glad it's working for you now. I've also updated the scripts based on your feedback, so I'll proceed to close this issue. Please don't hesitate to raise a new one if you encounter further problems.

Thanks again.
