系統是從 Oracle 網站下載的VirtualBox Pre-built VM images。
所以它的作業系統是 Oracle Enterprise Linux，資料庫為 11gR1。
1、下載新的apex_4.1.1.zip，並且將它解壓縮
# unzip /home/oracle/apex_4.1.1.zip
2、更名apex，因為資料夾的名稱最好簡單且中間不能有空白，否則昇級會失敗
# mv apex_4.1.1 apex41
# chown -R oracle:oracle apex41
3、執行@apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/
# su - oracle
$ cd /home/oracle/apex41 <--資料夾位置，一定要執行，原因下列說明。
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect / as sysdba <--以SYS登入DB
SQL> @apexins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/ <--執行安裝
注1：@apexins tablespace_apex tablespace_files tablespace_temp images
tablespace_apex is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express application user.
tablespace_files is the name of the tablespace for the Oracle Application Express files user.
tablespace_temp is the name of the temporary tablespace.
images is the virtual directory for Oracle Application Express images. To support
future Oracle Application Express upgrades, define the virtual image
directory as /i/.
注2：一開始安裝的時候，並沒有先到 APEX 的資料夾去執行apexins.sql，結果出現錯誤。
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin/
$ ./sqlplus /nolog
SQL> @/home/oracle/apex41/apexins sysaux sysaux temp /i/ <--指定路徑
…
SP2-0310: unable to open file "coreins.sql"
4、啟用APEX_PUBLIC_USER（Unlocking the APEX_PUBLIC_USER Account）
SQL> select username,account_status from dba_users where username='APEX_PUBLIC_USER' ;
USERNAME ACCOUNT_STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------------
APEX_PUBLIC_USER LOCKED
如果 Account_STATUS 是 OPEN，則跳過此步驟
SQL> alter user apex_public_user account unlock;
5、變更 APEX_PUBLIC_USER 的密碼
SQL> alter user apex_public_user indentified by XXXXX;
6、接著安裝 apex_listener ，檔案可以從 Oracle 網站直接下載。
# unizp apex_listener.1.1.3.243.11.40.zip -d apex_listener
# chown -R oracle:oracle apex_listener
# java -jar /home/oracle/apex_listener/apex.war

最後它提示用瀏覽器去設定連結DB，http://localhost:8080/apex/listenerConfigure
