After you install APEX or upgrade a base APEX, you need to create workspaces. These instructions show you how to create a workspace in APEX 18. You have two options, you can use the base url while specifying the INTERNAL workspace.

1. You start the process by accessing the Oracle APEX through the standard form by entering the following URL:
   

   
   http://localhost:8080/apex
   

   • Workspace: INTERNAL
   • Username:  ADMIN
   • Password:  installation_system_password

2. The better approach is to use the APEX administrator login:
   

   
   http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin
   

   • Username:  ADMIN
   • Password:  installation_system_password

3. After logging into the Oracle Application Express (APEX) Administration console, you see the Administration home page.

4. You click the Create Workspace button to start creating a work space.

5. You enter a workspace name, ID number (greater than 100,000), and description and click the Next button to move to the next step.

6. You choose whether to reuse an existing schema, which gives you more control. You then choose a schema from the list of available schemas. You do not use a password or schema size when you reuse a schema. You enter a password that has a capital letter, number, and special character that is not a % when you do not reuse a schema. You also need to choose a size. The default value is 100 megabytes. Click the Next button to move to the next step.

7. This dialog identifies the workspace administrator. Click the Next button to move to the next step.

8. This dialog confirms what you have done in the workflow. Click the Next button to move to the next step.

1. This dialog tells you that you have successfully provisioned a workspace. Click the Done button to complete the workflow.

As always, I hope this helps those trying to figure out how to do something that should not be and is not actually hard to do.
