Hi,
I'm using the following configuration.
*VERSION*: Tomcat 6.0.20*
OS*: Fedora core 9
*uname -a*: Linux attacker.myriad.local 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 #1 SMP
Thu Jun 18 12:47:50 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
*install path*: /home/servers/apache-tomcat-6.0.20
On *another* machine (windows and my desktop). I'm running Apache HTTP which
is connected via AJP. I don't think thats relevant to my query but you seem
to want all the details one can give.
Basically my problem is I have added hosts to the server as follows in
server.xml (please note I've removed comments for brevity and everything
before service.)
<Service name="Catalina">
<Connector port="8180" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8543" />
<Connector port="8109" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8543" />
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
<!-- Define the default virtual host
Note: XML Schema validation will not work with Xerces 2.2.
-->
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
<Host name="applications.westest.example.com"
appbase="/home/servers/applications.westest"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
<Host name="cashier.westest.example.com"
appbase="/home/servers/cashier.westest"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
<Host name="communication.westest.example.com"
appbase="/home/servers/communication.westest"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
Now to try to add the manager application to each domain following the
instructions found at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html i've added a
manager.xml to each of my hosts. For example
/home/servers/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/conf/Catalina/
cashier.westest.example.com/manager.xml the contents of this file are as
follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
antiJARLocking="false">
</Context>
However whenever I alter this file (or restart) I get the following in
catalina.out
Aug 24, 2009 5:04:14 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig

The path in this file seems to imply that my manager is at
/home/servers/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/./manager it should be
/home/servers/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps/manager. *Where is it getting
this path from?* It seems to have the right docBase when I get the doc base
from the resources.
