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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
