The admin app now resides in the folder: "/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/server/webapps/admin". Homever the admin app does not run after I reboot the tomcat server.

I used the tar command with jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-admin.tar file both in the home directory for tomcat (tomcat install directory). The verbose output listed all the files in the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-admin.tar file. I just discovered the problem: I untared the file in the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9 directory. The untar created a new jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9 directory within the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9 directory I was currently in. The untar created a server directory there and untared the admin there. In other words my directory structure where the admin app was placed was ../jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/server/webapps/admin. Obviously I should have placed the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-admin.tar file in the ../jakarta directory instead of the ../jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9 directory and untared it there. Light dawns over marble head. Thanks for your help. I will redo this and let you know how it went. Thank you James T.

No files were created on the > server/webapps directory. Admin app did not install. Did you see this note in the README? "NOTE: The tar files in this distribution use GNU tar extensions, and must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of tar. The version of tar on Solaris and Mac OS X will not work with these files." What did the verbose mode display? What directory were you in when you did the tar command? You should be positioned at the Tomcat install directory. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
