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

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

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