I think for production I'm going to need to fall back to 5.5.23 for now, too many issues to resolve and test. I'll setup a test machine for Tomcat6 and keep working on it.. I appreciate your assistance.. John..

Great thanks.. That is the missing piece(s) in the docs... Ditto for your following advice.. but can not access the host-manager at: http://localhost:8080/host-manager/html ..I get a 403 (I did try adding a host-manager role to the tomcat-user.xml , but no joy) Look in the WEB-INF/web.xml file for host-manager; you'll see that the required role name is admin, not manager or host-manager. 3) I can not access a virtual host Manager at http://www.domainhere.com:8080/manager/html What appBase did you configure for the www.domainhere.com Host? If you don't have a manager webapp deployed there, you'll need to create a conf/Catalina/www.domainhere.com/manager.xml file that contains a Context element with a docBase attribute that points to the location of the manager webapp.

Tomcat6 Manager App HOW-TO
I would appreciate some clarifications/advice on this How-To.. It appears that the instruction to add (paths corrected) Context path=/manager privileged=true docBase=/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/manager /Context is wrong (based on message from Charles Caldarale on 5/16/2007) So.. in reading the rest of the instructions I'm finding things are not quite working as documented. Searched this list and google and so far have not come up with any answers: Specifically.. 1) Is the instruction that you add a manager.xml to each $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname] ..folder required? (I assume the path should be corrected since there is no longer any server directory structure.) .. at this point it does not seem to matter.. but I would like access to virtual hosts.. 2) So I can access the localhost manager at: http://localhost:8080/manager/html but can not access the host-manager at: http://localhost:8080/host-manager/html ..I get a 403 (I did try adding a host-manager role to the tomcat-user.xml , but no joy) Is there something that has not been documented as yet to configure this..??? 3) I can not access a virtual host Manager at http://www.domainhere.com:8080/manager/html Thank you for any hints or advice..
