Hi, I'm not sure what your problem with the manager is, but about the tomcat-user.xml this is what I'm using on my localhost installation and it works.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <tomcat-users> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="admin"/> <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/> <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/> <user username="yourUserName" password="yourPassword" roles="tomcat,manager,admin"/> </tomcat-users> Note, it is the 'admin' rolename that allow the admin page to work. About the documentation, if you haven't not found it yet, I strongly advise you using this forum archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&r=1&w=2 I too found the documentation not very newbies friendly, but it is not that hard a while. However, I also this book that for me is good http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1590593316/104-8066643-6219911?v=glance&n=283155 On 2/4/06, Maciej Piechotka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm so sorry fo those questions.
