RE: Renaming /admin and /manager contexts (from user list)
Howdy, Sounds reasonable to me. Maybe all that's needed is updating the paths in the context descriptors for both webapps. I'll update the docs as needed if we make this change.

Re: Renaming /admin and /manager contexts (from user list)
Sounds reasonable to me. Maybe all that's needed is updating the paths in the context descriptors for both webapps. Cool. Yeah, it is a very very simple fix. Diff files attached, if they are even of any help at all. I'll let Yoav do the documentation then, since he volunteered. (Thanks Yoav!)

Renaming /admin and /manager contexts (from user list)
This is a conversation we are having on the users list. I propose that the contexts, /admin, and /manager be renamed to something else, (I suggest /tomcat/admin, and /tomcat/manager respectively). Doing so avoids Tomcat being yet another app, which wants to own http://(url)/admin This is very easily modifiable in Tomcat (one string in admin.xml and manager.xml), and I think it should be done. Original posts: (my email) Tomcat ought to do the same, IMO. You never know who else wants to own http://url/admin;, and you do not always have the luxury of renaming it. /tomcat/admin and /tomcat/manager are more specific, and can easily be changed on Tomcat's side. Maybe something to bring up on the developer list.

Suppose you are upgrading from 4.1.18 to 4.1.24. The unpacked tar will override all of the contents re admin and install its admin app. Why don't you guys think of renaming your own admin app to something like myappadmin? -Original Message- From: Jeff Tulley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 16, 2003 3:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Can't get to /admin dir of our webapp I've moved ours to be /tomcat/admin, so the we still have the admin functionality, but in a less generic name.
