This is not really an issue, but more of a "heads up" for those who wish to upgrade a recently built OXAR environment to APEX 5.1.

I went through the upgrade steps listed here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/upgrade-apex-for-xe-154969.html. Everything worked fine, but when I attempted to run APEX, I got the this message in my browser:

oxar_apex5_1_upgradeissue

After poking around, I found that OXAR puts the images in /ords/apex_images, for a good reason I'm sure. So, I moved the contents of the APEX 5.1 images folder to /ords/apex_images, and the issue went away and I could log in without issue.

It's beyond my linux/scripting skills to do so, but it would be great to have an OXAR APEX 5.* upgrade script, where you could load the file (e.g. apex_5.1_en.zip) into the oxar/files folder and run the script that would unzip the file, run the install, load the images, and then copy the images to /ords/apex_images.

Also, one thing I'm curious about, as per the upgrade instructions above, one of the steps when upgrading APEX is to load the images with the following command:

SQL> @apxldimg.sql APEX_HOME

However, in going through the OXAR scripts, I could not find that step. Is it handled in some other way?
