I have an installation of Tomcat 5.5.20 that seems to be working fine except for the "Administration" Links at the top left of the default index.jsp. I downloaded the "admin" package and un-zipped it into the ${CATALINA_HOME} directory as described in several places. I added an "admin" user to the " tomcat-users.xml" file and restarted Tomcat.
None of the links work. Not "Status", "Tomcat Administration" or "Tomcat Manager". "Status" and "Tomcat Manager" go to the default 404 page. "Tomcat Administration" still goes to the message: Tomcat's administration web application is no longer installed by default. Download and install the "admin" package to use it. This message is actually found in ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/ROOT/admin/index.html and is the default "Admin" package if you haven't downloaded the tarball with the real admin tool. Any suggestions would be grealy appreciated. Thanks. ken
