RE: installing the admin on 5.5
I had similar difficulty setting up the admin package. My issue was that I was starting tomcat as user tomcat, but after unzipping the admin files were owned by root. Once I did chown -R tomcat:tomcat CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps/admin/ I was able to login to the admin (after clearing the browser cache).

RE: installing the admin on 5.5
Well...that worked but, I have no idea why. The directory structure looks exactly as it did before. I also started Tomcat from within Eclipse and tested, that worked as well. So, it appears that the issue has been resolved but, I must admit I'm uncomfortable with the resolution, specifically in not knowing what actually addressed the issue. Unfortunately, given its nature, the cause is likely to remain unknown, discounting some probable human error on my part.

Get the current one (5.5.20) from: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi Note that prior to obtaining the admin app, you must install the core Tomcat from its .zip or .tar.gz download, not the .exe version, in order to get directory naming compatible with the admin app download.

RE: installing the admin on 5.5
Here are the steps that I have taken: 1) Download the zip for Tomcat 5.5.20 2) Download the zip for Java SE 1.4 compatibility (5.5.20) 3) Download the zip for the Admin tool (5.5.20) 4) Unzip Tomcat to -- c:\CMA_Dev\Servers\Tomcat - Base directory renamed from apache-tomcat-5.5.20 to tomcat-5.5.20 5) Unzip and install compatibility zip file (seems to work fine...tomcat starts) 6) Unzip admin tool - copied admin directory and all of its contents to c:\CMA_Dev\Servers\Tomcat\tomcat-5.5.20\server\webapps (same location as manager and host-manager - copied admin.xml to c:\CMA_Dev\Servers\Tomcat\tomcat-5.5.20\conf\Catalina\localhost 7) modified tomcat-users.xml to include the following line: user username=admin password=admin roles=standard, manager, admin / 8) Start Tomcat via Eclipse - Observe console...no mention of admin anywhere 9) Launch the following url http://localhost:8080; ... received the Tomcat initial page - Select manager and authenticate with admin/admin ... works fine. - Note that /admin is listed as an application 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 This is basically everything I know about the admin application at this point. I followed the above steps to install the feature ... still cannot get it to work. The only slight deviation to the process in this post is that the directory name change I mentioned above caused the unzip to create a new base directory. I just copied the content to their appropriate places (i.e. server\webapps) figuring that this is all that the unzip would have done anyway. I also manually copied the admin.xml to the conf location mentioned above as well. I'm at a loss to understand what I have missed here.

Hi, thanks for responding...I'll address your questions based on my original step numbers: 6) Yes, I simply copied the admin directory to the server\webapps directory. So, all of the subordinate content came along as well. I did not modify anything underneath it. 8) I receive the same result...that is to say a page with the message about installing admin separately appears.

installing the admin on 5.5
I am having a bear of a time installing the admin application for 5.5. I downloaded and unzipped the apache-tomcat-5.5.20-admin.zip, expanded the contents. Then using the tomcat manager application deployed the files OK. But when I try to access the admin app, I get this error. HTTP Status 503 - Servlet admin.login_jsp is currently unavailable _ type Status report message Servlet admin.login_jsp is currently unavailable description The requested service (Servlet admin.login_jsp is currently unavailable) is not currently available. Is there a war file for the admin application I could use? Rather then the directory in the zip? I ask this not only for my own ease of use, but also since our clients all have tomcat installed (currently 5.0.28) and I want to be able to tell them to upgrade up to 5.5. However since the admin app is not installed by default I will need to instruct them as to how to install the admin app. A war file would be easier, as the many users I have are not at all tomcat savvy.

RE: installing the admin on 5.5
I did use all the apache org tomcat distributions. Nothing third part. I never did edit the tomcat-users.xml. During the 5.5 install I did create an admin users and password. I can use this to access the tomcat manager application just fine. But I cannot gain access to any sort of login page at all for the admin app. And perhaps I am confused as to how to deploy an application from a directory. I am using the manager application to enter the directory path, admin.xml context file and the context path. Then using the deploy button. This seemed to work fine and results in my admin application being listed in the list of applications above that listed as running. Are you suggesting I simply extract the contents of the zip file into my webapps directory?

I downloaded and unzipped the apache-tomcat-5.5.20-admin.zip, expanded the contents. That's all you need to do - if you expand it into the standard Tomcat installation directory, like you're supposed to do. If you're using some 3rd-party repackaged Tomcat that scatters pieces of Tomcat all over, I'd strongly suggest throwing that in the junk pile and downloading and installing the real one.

RE: installing the admin on 5.5
Excellent, thank you that all worked fine. I was not aware, nor was able to find any documentation Easily available to instruct me as to where and how to put those files. The structure in the zip did look very much like the tomcat install, but there is no Read me in the zip to instruct as so. The verbage about the admin being a Webapp immediately made me think of standard deployment methods.

Nothing third part. Good. I never did edit the tomcat-users.xml. During the 5.5 install I did create an admin users and password. I can use this to access the tomcat manager application just fine. O.k., check the conf/tomcat-users.xml to make sure that your admin userid has roles of admin and manager (at least the latter should already be there). Update as needed, while Tomcat is not running. But I cannot gain access to any sort of login page at all for the admin app. That's because it's not installed properly. If you just unzip the admin package, most of it will drop into server/webapps, where the manager and host-manager apps are already installed. Normal apps go into the regular webapps directory, but these three require special handling in 5.5 and below. And perhaps I am confused as to how to deploy an application from a directory. What you did is fine for normal apps, but not this one. Are you suggesting I simply extract the contents of the zip file into my webapps directory? No, the paths are already set up in the admin zip file to go right on top of the Tomcat installation. There are pieces that have to go into several different directories, none of them the standard webapps. Look at the structure inside the admin zip file and notice how it matches up to your already installed Tomcat. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Is there a war file for the admin application I could use? Rather then the directory in the zip? I ask this not only for my own ease of use, but also since our clients all have tomcat installed (currently 5.0.28) and I want to be able to tell them to upgrade up to 5.5. However since the admin app is not installed by default I will need to instruct them as to how to install the admin app. A war file would be easier, as the many users I have are not at all tomcat savvy.
