If you apply those changes you should (hopefully) be redirected to the APEX login screen, as shown
in Figure 1-26.

Accessing APEX via the APEX Listener
Notice in Figure 1-26 that the URL should be the location and port that the APEX Listener is
configured on. I've seen situations where people thought they were having problems with the APEX
Listener when they were actually connecting via the EPG, so any settings they were making in the APEX
Listener did not appear to be picked up.
So, great, we are up and running! Now let us go back and examine some of the other options we
could have configured in the APEX Listener. Now you might expect that you could just reenter the URL
you used before to get back into the configuration. But if you enter the same URL, for example,
http://localhost:8080/apex/listenerConfigure
you will see a message:
"The APEX Listener is already configured. Please login as Administrator to access APEX
Listener Administration."
This is to prevent anyone else from going into the configuration screen after you have configured it
and making changes. After the initial installation the URL you need to use to administer the APEX
Listener is
http://localhost:8080/apex/listenerAdmin
(Obviously change the hostname and port for your environment). You will be prompted for your
username and password that you used when you started up the APEX Listener, as shown in Figure 1-27.
