The answer on the disk has been answered here already.

If you want to keep WebDB working in 8.1.7 you will have to do the following:

1. Install 9iAS 'http server only' or use the HTTP server that comes with 8.1.7;
2. Install the newer PL/SQL toolkit (owaload.sql that ships with 9iAS)
3. Recompile invalid packages (utlrp.sql)
4. Configure the HTTP Server to work with WebDB (http://server:port/pls/admin_/) - you will have to add two DADs (Database Access Descriptors), commonly named 'webdb22' and 'webdb22s'.

There is documentation on Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com) on this subject - if you have support, you should be able to find it.

And yes, of course this is all unsupported. But the only way it works with 8.1.7.
