Hello, I'm running Apache Tomcat 7.0.57 on RHEL 6.6 servers for CCI NewsGate editorial system which uses around 20 applications per Tomcat server. There is a requirement here (for the reasons of automating administrative tasks) to enable starting, stoping and reloading individual applications from Linux command line
I am using your documentation on Apache Tomcat Manager at the following URL: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Reload_An_Existing_Application to achieve that, but the commands do not work as described, even though Web GUI Manager works just fine. I do have appropriate roles for the user added to my <tomcat>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file: <tomcat-users> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <user username="OurName" password="OurSecurePasswd" roles="manager-gui,manager-script"/> </tomcat-users> ... and I have re-started Tomcat after adding the manager-script role. The list command works exactly as described in documentation: [ngtom@ng-web01 ~]$ curl --user OurName:OurSecurePasswd http://our.server.fqdn:8080/manager/text/list OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost ... /manager:running:0:manager /workschedule:running:0:workschedule /docs:running:0:docs /sample:running:348:sample ... However when I try to start/stop/reload any of the listed applications I am getting the following result: [ngtom@ng-web01 ~]$ curl --user OurName:OurSecurePasswd http://our.server.fqdn:8080/manager/text/stop?path=/docs curl: No match. I think that I've done everything exactly as shown in the examples given in your documentation, but apparently something there or in what I'm doing is wrong. Could you please help?
