In ORDS

Disabling the Landing page in ORDS 23.2 and higher

Don’t like this?

We’re not monsters, you can turn it off.

In your ORDS global settings, set the misc.defaultPage parameter to ‘apex’

At this point, APEX will determine the default page that loads from calls to /ords

You’ll need to re-start ORDS, and then you’ll see –

I don’t have static images configured on this machine, because I’m not using APEX…

You can also have an ‘index.html’ in your document root.

My doc root is under my configdir, global directory, in ‘doc_root’

I have an index.html file located in the standalone ORDS doc_root (think, htdocs in apache), so ORDS will load it when calling server:port/

The new landing page will load if I request server:port/ords

APEX will load if i ask for /ords/apex

Let’s sum that up:

Routing Patterns

  • /ords – either redirects to the new Landing page or to APEX based on misc.defaultPage
  • / – serves up index.html in your doc root, if you have one
  • /ords/apex – will launch APEX if APEX is installed
  • /ords/sql-developer- will launch SQL Developer Web (or Database Actions) if enabled

Savvy?

    In Autonomous Database we can’t change the landing page? This would be very important in order to have clean URLs..

      Disabled?

      If apex is installed in the database when you install/configure ORDS, you should b good to go.

      Is it not working?
