Well, the administrator, which I thought was quite obvious, is the console one sees when you install tomcat, start it up and type in localhost:8080. I don't know how to be clearer than that.

That resulted in *Unable to Connect*. I also tried the ip address with the port number (see one of my other postings). That resulted in a timeout. Sorry for not being clearer.
