As far as I remember, it works this way:

1. Download jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7-admin.tar to any directory where you 
would like to keep it, i.e. /tmp/.

2. Change to the $CATALINA_HOME directory:
     cd $CATALINA_HOME

3. Untar the file from there, i.e. /tmp/:
     tar xvfz /tmp/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.7-admin.tar

4. Open $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml;
     add there the role "admin";
     assign this role to an existing user.

5. Restart Tomcat.

6. Go to the Admin login page and log-in with the user from 4.

That's it.


Best wishes

Lutz
