WebDB install trouble

I have installed Oracle 8i on machine running Windows NT Server 4.0
SP3.  When I try to install WebDB, the installation gets to the point
where it asks for the SYS password for the database.  Regardless of what
I enter, it says that the password is not valid and that I should make
sure the database is running.



What database is it trying to connect to?  Nothing in the install
process up to that point asks about a particular Oracle instance/service
such as hostname:1521:dbname.



Also, on a related note, what is required to create an "Oracle Home"?  I
have installed Oracle 8i on C:\Oracle\HOME1. That made my first Oracle
Home.   Reading the release notes for WebDB, it said I needed to install
WebDB into its own Oracle Home.  Well, at the point in the install
process that asked for the name of the Oracle Home to install it to, I
entered a new name (HomeWebDB) and a new location C:\Oracle\HomeWebDB.
Is this all that is meant by installing the program in its own "Oracle
Home" or is there something I am missing?  For example, do I need to go
back and try to install Oracle 8i again in another directory such as
C:\Oracle\HOME2.  Is that what it means to create an "Oracle Home"?



Thanks,


Charles
