in order to be considered a webapp, you need to have an empty web.xml file in the WEB-INF folder under springapps. Do you have this?
empty means web.xml contains: <web-app> </web-app> You will also need to restart Tomcat for it to pick this up. > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Labhard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 11:28 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: How to "start" a web app? > > > I installed a new, extremely simple application in > $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/springapps/index.html.

So I'm reading and it says that I have to "start" the application by going into the Tomcat Manager. So I fix the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml file so that I have both admin and manager roles. Then I go to the Tomcat homepage localhost:8080. I can log into the Administration page no problem. But when I try to get to the Manager it says, Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden. I'm stumped. Don't know where to go from here. Seems like this shouldn't be this difficult.
