it's a two tier architecture where the DB that hosts the APEX schema is on one server and the Application Listener is on a different server.
We will be carrying out whole installation setup from the Application server itself, we don't have to do anything on the DB server other than making sure the password file is present and configured so that we can connect as with sysdba privilege from Application server.
APEX Installation:
1) Download the s/w from the Oracle site.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/index.html
2) Unzip Downloaded file.
$unzip apex_5.0.zip
3) Connect to the DB as SYS specifying the sysdba privilege.
$cd apex
SQL> sho user
USER is "SYS"
SQL>@apexins.sql APEX APEX TEMP3 /i/
