Last month, we had somebody mistakenly put index.html from webapps/ROOT/admin into server/webapps/admin, which caused this same kind of grief. The presence of the welcome page somehow takes precedence over the servlet mapping, resulting in the "no longer installed by default" message (that's what that particular .html file contains). >>> webapps/ROOT/admin/index.html does exist on the server. I have not >>> touched this. How about I delete the file index.html from webapps/ROOT/admin/.
Would it be possible to start over here? Can you take a clean system, install Tomcat and the admin download, and see what happens? Don't forget to edit conf/tomcat-users.xml to put in a userid with the role of "admin". >>> I do not have another system to try this on and it would be impossible >>> to rebuild the current system. >>> Here is where I find the admin.xml file: ${catalina.home}/conf/Catalina/localhost/admin.xml The contents are: <Context docBase="${catalina.home}/server/webapps/admin" privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false"> Thank you James T.
