Read the page you are looking at: NOTE: For security reasons, using the administration webapp is restricted to users with role "admin". The manager webapp is restricted to users with role "manager". Users are defined in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml.
Add a user with the admin role or add the admin role to an existing user. Should look something like <user username="sysAdmin" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,admin,manager"/> Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Joe Fiola [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 10:22 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Administrator setup > > I just installe Tomcat today for the first time and i am having > beginner problems. > > I set up the tomcat-user.xml file to be able to access the Tomcat > Manager section of http://localhost:8080 > > However, I can't get access to Tomcat Administration > > The error i get is: > > HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied > > > > type Status report > > > > message Access to the requested resource has been denied > > > > description Access to the specified resource (Access to the > requested > > resource has been denied) has been forbidden. > > > > Apache Tomcat/4.1.24 > > Any help would be greatly appreciated.
