Dan,
I have a question in regards to installing a jquery plugin with apex 3.12.. Is it possible to get some help with it? I posted it up on the APEX support forum and received no input..

Thanks!

Hmm, I think you should try
"ftp://127.0.0.1:81...

Hmm, I think you should try
"ftp://127.0.0.1:8181"
I'm not sure how this stuff works in Windows.
If this doesn't work, try with the ftp client from the command line (I expect there is one, I'm not sure).
Try to connect with an Oracle database account, say SYSTEM. If you don't know your SYSTEM password, open sqlplus and type "alter user SYSTEM identified by some_password;".
Then, in a command line try this:
ftp 127.0.0.1 8181
Then it will ask you for a user, use system and then the password.
then:
cd i
cd javascript (if you want)
mkdir jquery
cd jquery
put your_jquery_file.js
exit

This should do.

Hi Iulian Dragan,

I tried your way too, I'm able to successfully complete the PL/SQL procedure, but when I'm running "http://127.0.0.1:8181/i" it is not asking me the system credentials, rather it is giving me the same error "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."

And when I'm running as "http://127.0.0.1:8080/i" it is asking me to enter XDB credentials but it is not accepting my system credentials, I did googling whole day but still wait for the success..????

Thanks,

Kumar,

I think you need to enable ftp on your oracle XDB. Long story short, open a sqlplus session( sqlplus / as sysdba), then, at the prompt:
SQL>exec dbms_xdb.setftpport(8181);

Then follow Dan's instructions above (with port 8181 instead of 8080).
Later you may want to disable it (security and all that):
SQL>exec dbms_xdb.setftpport(null);

I've always used the system credentials with XE. Keep trying you seem to be making progress.

Hi Dan,

http://kb.wisc.edu/luwmad/page.php?id=6280

Kumar,

Sounds like everything is working, I'm not sure what the problem could be. You should be able to enter the system credentials and proceed to the folder.

Try running an online search for webdav on vista for some pointers...

What do you get when you go to that address in FireFox? What about http://localhost:8080/i?

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the quick response, I have installed Apex 3.1.2 on Oracle 10g XE.

I'm trying "http://127.0.0.1:8080/i"
but it gives me error message as "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another."

Kumar

2009-02-18T21:38:00.000-05:00

Kumar,

That is correct, it's the images directory. Are you running XE? If so, you'll need to go to Start > Computer > Right Click in middle > Add Network Location > Next > Choose custom network location > enter http://127.0.0.1:8080/i > Next > enter system credentials > enter name > next > finish.

I usually only develop internal applications - that's the only reason.

Hi Dan,

Any reason you would not link to Google's hosted version? If it is a intranet application, you may not wish to use it but for any external facing sites you may save your users 500k download. You would also be saving yourself the bandwith.

Any thoughts?

Cool. I've followed your data-picker instructions, and its working great.
Only one gotcha. I did a straight cut-and-paste of the code in point 3, but had picked up version 1.2.6 rather than 1.2.3.
it only took a minute to realise my mistake though.
