Adding the manager app to an existing installation
Hi, I’ve been asked to help with an existing Tomcat install which is supporting a live website. When it was installed, it did not have the manager app added. We want to use the manager app now. I have copied the manager folder from another Tomcat install (same version which is 5.5.36) and updated tomcat-users in the /conf directory but I can’t login to the manager gui. I give the username and password for the manager-gui role but it just comes back and redisplays the login prompt. Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Thanks for your help Tom - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
