The usual problem is starting with the Windows .exe download of the Tomcat core rather than the .zip or .tar.gz version. The .exe download creates a directory structure not compatibile with the one that admin.zip expects. If you have already installed the .exe version of the Tomcat core and want to keep using it, you can copy the unzipped admin files to the proper locations with the following. If you unzipped admin into C:, it will have created a directory structure starting at C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.20; take everything under that location and drag/drop it into "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5" (that's where the .exe puts things by default). You'll get a couple of overwrite warnings, and it doesn't matter how you answer them as long as you don't click cancel. After that, all you need to do is update conf/tomcat-users.xml with an appropriate userid and admin role. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
