This page shows how to upgrade an instance of Oracle APEX on a CentOS server.

You must have a server with APEX installed. This guide assumes that you are running APEX on a Glassfish Web Application Server.

As per instructions here.

1. Download latest apex. If a version is already installed, you may need to download specific patch from my oracle support.
2. Disable applications “apex” and “i” on glassfish server
3. Move zip file to

   /oracle/apex

   on server.

4. Unzip the folder

5. cd patch

6. Run the following (takes about 12 minutes)

   @apxpatch.sql

7. Copy the patch/images directory into the images directory used for Application Express.

   cd /oracle/apex/patch/patch
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password: SYS_password
@apxldimg.sql /oracle/apex/patch/patch

8. Fix SELinux permissions.

   chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t
