Error in documentation
Hi all, I want to point on wrong setting example for tomcat manager in the documentation: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access . What should I put in tomcat-users.xml to access tomcat manager web app?? -- Best regards, Peter Šály

If you mean the HTML interface rather than the script interface, you need the manager-gui role.

It depends how you want to access it. Assuming you are using Tomcat 7.0.x, if you want to use a web-browser you need the "manager-gui" role defined and configured for a user. Please not, it says below the line you reference: "The HTML interface is protected against CSRF but the text and JMX interfaces are not. To maintain the CSRF protection: users with the manager-gui role should not be granted either the manager-script or manager-jmx roles. if the text or jmx interfaces are accessed through a browser (e.g. for testing since these interfaces are intended for tools not humans) then the browser must be closed afterwards to terminate the session." p -- [key:62590808] signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

To access the HTML GUI, assign the role manager-gui. http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html#Manager_application * manager-gui - allows access to the HTML GUI and the status pages * manager-script - allows access to the text interface and the status pages * manager-jmx - allows access to the JMX proxy and the status pages * manager-status - allows access to the status pages only Dan

Error in documentation, Tomcat 6
At the end of this page : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html#log4j there is this paragraph : If you have multiple instances of Tomcat, each with a separate $CATALINA_HOME but a shared $CATALINA_BASE, then you can configure log4j on a per instance basis by replacing references to $CATALINA_HOME in the above instructions with $CATALINA_BASE. Note that you may need to create a $CATALINA_BASE/lib directory. Is there not an inadvertent inversion in that paragraph ? Should it not be If you have multiple instances of Tomcat, each with a separate $CATALINA_BASE but a shared $CATALINA_HOME, then you can configure log4j on a per instance basis by replacing references to $CATALINA_HOME in the above instructions with $CATALINA_BASE. Note that you may need to create a $CATALINA_BASE/lib directory. Note that this has been fixed in the equivalent Tomcat 7 page at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/logging.html#log4j At first sight, it also looks as if the 6.0 version of the whole page could be fixed by overwriting it (apart from the header part) with the 7.0 version, which also corrects another couple of mistakes. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

The link above will always be from the latest stable Tomcat 6 release so may not be 100% up to date. http://ci.apache.org/projects/tomcat/tomcat6/docs/logging.html In this case the bug is still present. > there is this paragraph : > > If you have multiple instances of Tomcat, each with a separate > $CATALINA_HOME but a shared $CATALINA_BASE, then you can configure log4j > on a per instance basis by replacing references to $CATALINA_HOME in the > above instructions with $CATALINA_BASE.
