Did you maintain the directory structure under that? There should be 11 subdirectories under server\webapps\admin, although 9 of them are empty; only images and WEB-INF have content, and WEB-INF has two .xml files, a .tld file, and a lib directory under it containing five jars. Is that what you've got now? > - copied "admin.xml" to > "c:\CMA_Dev\Servers\Tomcat\tomcat-5.5.20\conf\Catalina\localhost" Note that there are two admin.xml files in the .zip, but they are identical, so it doesn't really matter which one you chose. > 7) modified "tomcat-users.xml" to include the following line: > "<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="standard, manager, > admin" />" The spaces after the commas should be o.k., but they're normally not used. > 8) Start Tomcat via Eclipse > - Observe console...no mention of "admin" anywhere What happens if you start Tomcat from a command prompt with bin\startup.bat, rather than indirectly, via Eclipse? > - Note that "/admin" is listed as an application Is it marked as running? > 10) Return to initial tomcat page and select "administration" > - the following message is reported "Tomcat's administration web > application is no longer installed by default. Download and > install the "admin" package to use it" Do you have any <Context> elements in conf/server.xml? Eclipse may have erroneously inserted something in there. For Tomcat 5 and above, <Context> elements should not be placed in server.xml. Do you have an admin directory under the regular webapps directory by any chance? (Possibly left over from previous attempts.) If so, it should be removed. Note that the admin directory under webapps\ROOT is o.k. - it is overridden by the servlet mappings in server\webapps\admin\WEB-INF\web.xml. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
