WebDB installations on Linux (FAILS)

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to install webdb on a debian box running potato and
Oracle 8i. I tried running orainst, but webdb wouldnt accpet SYS
password. I dont even see it connect to 8i's listner. What might
be wrong? Is there a tnsnames setup involved? If so exectly do I
need to do? (I've tried looking for HOWTO's on this), it seems
like a number of people are having the same problem I've been
having.
Thanks

: To avoid it, you need to create manually the "pass.sys" file

: To test your password, the installer is using the passwd.sql

I have sucessfully loaded webdb on linux mandrake 6.0 running
oracle 8.05. In the install just accept the default oracle_base
and oracle_home directories. The installer created a webdb
directory under the product directory. You should also create
your temp and user tablespaces before installing webdb. Webdb
will create its own but you will have no control over placement
of size.
