Can't recall if 92 has the option to install Apache as well. Try that first, don't bother with OEM.
You will get a web server (I know RH comes with Apache, but Oracle modified it - I have given up trying to get modplsql running on the free Apache versions); Apache by Oracle, and modplsql. Modplsql is a direct 'bridge from Apache into the database. You simply define a DAD (Database Access Descriptor), and in the schema, defined in the DAD, you put a procedure (all modplsql web pages MUST be procedures, either standalone, or packaged), e.g.

connect scott/tiger
create or replace procedure webtest as
begin
htp.p('Hello World');
end;

Suppose you DAD was named demo, type in a web browser: <your Apache servername>/pls/demo/test
You should see a simple page with Hello World on it.

Take it from there.
