Well, just copying admin.xml isn't going to do much. I think things are getting a little confusing. If you need some.domain.com/admin, then:
1) you need a HOST element with a name parameter of "some.domain.com" 2) you need to set that HOST's appBase 3) you need to put admin.xml in that appBase 4) you need to edit appBase/admin.xml and verify that the path used in the Context element in appBase/admin.xml makes sense and is available /admin and /manager use auto-deploy. How about you describe your directory structure, what the appBase is for the host you are working with (localhost? something else?), post the XML file you are using for auto-deploy, and tell us what URL you want to work, and we can go from there. The Context in the default install of admin.xml has a path in it....if that path doesn't make sense for some.server.com when you set that some.server.com as a new virtual host, you will get a 404 trying to reach some.domain.com/admin.
