to start I am new to Tomcat. I have installed 4.1.12 on my Mac and can get to the initial page. From here the links for the jsp examples and the servlet examples return a http status 404 not available. The link for the Tomcat Administrator and Tomcat Manager return a 403 access denied.
I can however use the Tomcat documention link. In here I found something about the tomcat-users.xml file. I edited this file to add the manager role the document was talking about and create a user name line with a pasword and assigned the manager role to it. I restarted tomcat but still no go.
So my question is How do I start the jsp and servlet services so I can test the examples and how to I create a user to get into the administrator? The documentation that comes with this is not much help in trying to configure or administer Tomcat.
Thanks

Hello Joseph, u could do w/ supplying more info. i will make a stab at this: u r curious or dead serious about the tomcat servlet server and what to see some tc basics working. if basic works is ur interest then u do not need to edit tomcat-users.xml unless u r very serious about security, ssl logins and r much more familiar w/ tomcat innerworkings. to see the basic tc install functionality assuming u have installed tc correctly the only thing u need to do is if the tc standalone server is running correctly then u only need to invoke the following: http://localhost:8080 and u should see the standard tomcat demos screen w/ the tomcat logo. once u have acquired some development skills then using http://localhost:8080/manager is a good idea especially if u need to control the tc server remotely. hope this helps, david.
