It acts like apache within database itself, so, no need to have an additional web server. Of course, not all directives of full webserver are implemented, but for ApEx it is enough. You have an plsql api for querieng/setting listening ports select dbms_xdb.gethttpport from dual; select dbms_xdb_getftpport from dual; exec dbms_xdb.sethttpport(8080); exec dbms_xdb.setftpport(8021); You can disable listening on both, if you sets ports to 0.
