James, Thanks for that. That's done the trick. Dunno why there was not a valid admin.xml file as there is on the Windows install.
However, I still have a problem. I'd expect to see a tree a bit like this when I get into the admin application: Tomcat Server Service (Catalina) Host (localhost) Context (/) Context (/admin) Context (/manager) Etc.... But I just see as far down as Service(Catalina). Any clues. TIA Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Montz, James C.

My first stab at Tomcat 5.5 is on Windows. Anyway, was looking at the files for the tar.gz release of the admin tools. Verify that you do indeed have a conf\Catalina\localhost\admin.xml (double check file permissions as well) This is what re-maps requests for /admin to \server\webapps\admin. To me, it does not appear to have a proper context path specified? Is the context mapping assumed? Based on the name of the file? If required? Modify conf\Catalina\localhost\admin.xml with a path, like so; <Context docBase="${catalina.home}/server/webapps/admin" path="/admin" privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false"> </Context> This should override the generic page in \webapps\ROOT\admin\ -----Original Message----- From: Kelly, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 2:52 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Tomcat Administration Application James, I'm on RedHat Linux V9. Everything (tomcat and the admin package) is installed in the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4 directory. Even if I undeploy the admin application and then deploy it specifying the $CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps/admin directory I still get the same same message telling me to download and install the separate admin application. There must be something (can anyone tell me what?) pointing /admin to the web page that displays this message. Steve. -----Original Message----- From: Montz, James C.

The .zip has a file path of jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4\, but the default installation directory is Tomcat 5.5\ So if you simply extracted the zip into your install directory, look for a directory named jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4 Drag & Drop those directory contents to the true tomcat installation directory. Perhaps the .zip could be re-packaged and remove the path jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4 from the archive? This would allow users to simply unzip admin.zip into their installation directory.

How can I modify the link ? The context name is 'admin' but when I key in http://localhost:8080/admin I get the same message telling me to download and install the separate admin application.
