Yes. As I mentioned in the first email of this thread, I have a file [CATALINA_HOME]/conf/tomcat-users.xml with the following content: <role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager,manager-script,manager-gui"/> > By default, it can only run on localhost, and it's configured to listen to > 127.0.0.1 via the valve. If you uncomment the user role part and change the > password, you should be able to log in. i was able to start it by doing > above. As I mentioned in the first email, when I tried it first with the above tomcat-users.xml file and no manager.xml file, it didn't work. Server Status worked, Manager opened the page but couldn't deploy a war file, and Host Manager gave me 403. This happened whether I accessed the site as http://localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080. So for some reason or other, the default behaviour doesn't seem to work for me. Note that I am using OSX. Could this be due to some sort of proxy issue? Thx again.
