Get started link does not work in oracle 11g server
Simple solution:
You need to directly tell where your http port is. To do so; open up the folder where your Oracle is stored and navigate to server folder( in my case C:\Oracle\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server) in that folder right click to Get_Started file and choose properties. There you can hand type your http port which is usually 8080 in my case: ....127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950
The problem should be solved.
Hope this helps you get through it..

You can directly go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 and you will get Home Page Of your Oracle Database
Or you can make a new shortcut icon and set it's url to the previous link
This is what worked for me on Windows 8.1 with Update 1, 64-bit:
Create a SYSTEM level Environment variable named HTTPPORT with a value of 8080.Reboot.Click the Get Started link and this time it will work because it can resolve %HTTPPORT%.
