Hi Mark,
I only need access from one remote machine, but I couldn't get a valve
working properly for the IP I'm connecting from so I decided to open access
from anywhere until I get the Manager App working.
The file's at at /opt/tomcat8-dev/conf/context.xml. I've not made any
changes to server.xml.
I tried modifying context.xml to look like this, but nothing seems to have
changed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<WatchedResource>${catalina.base}/conf/web.xml</WatchedResource>
<Manager pathname="" />
</Context>
Thanks,
Nick Klose
