Hello

I am trying to install TOMCAT 6.0.20 on linux (ubuntu 9.10, karmic
distribution) and the following pb occurs :

       I cannot access to manager pages


I use the archive file given on the page
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi#6.0.20
and I obtain the file apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz


After installation, Tomcat runs with :
----------------------------------------
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/

Of course, the file "/usr/local/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml" has been
modified before running Tomcat and now contains :
-----------------------------------------------
<tomcat-users>
<!--

   <role rolename="tomcat"/>
   <role rolename="role1"/>
   <role rolename="manager"/>
   <role rolename="admin"/>
   <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
   <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
   <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
   <user username="chef" password="chtomcat" roles="manager,admin"/>
-->

No other files have been modified.
----------------------------------

With mozilla firefox (version 3.5.5), the connection on
http://localhost:8080/ is OK : I obtain the Apache tomcat page with some
links to documentation, examples and so.
The great majority of these links is OK except the administration links:

      When I try to follow the link "status" (or Tomcat manager),
        1. the window for authentification is opened
        2. I give the login "chef" and the password "chtomcat"
        3. and ... the window for authentification is cleared and reopened
        4. and so on (I never access the manager pages)!!
     If I cancel the window, an error "401 Unauthorized" occurs.


Could you help me, please?
