I did use all the apache org tomcat distributions. Nothing third part. I never did edit the tomcat-users.xml. During the 5.5 install I did create an "admin" users and password. I can use this to access the tomcat manager application just fine.
But I cannot gain access to any sort of login page at all for the admin app. And perhaps I am confused as to how to deploy an application from a directory. I am using the manager application to enter the directory path, admin.xml context file and the context path. Then using the deploy button. This seemed to work fine and results in my admin application being listed in the list of applications above that listed as running. Are you suggesting I simply extract the contents of the zip file into my webapps directory?

That's all you need to do - if you expand it into the standard Tomcat installation directory, like you're supposed to do. If you're using some 3rd-party repackaged Tomcat that scatters pieces of Tomcat all over, I'd strongly suggest throwing that in the junk pile and downloading and installing the real one. > Then using the tomcat manager application deployed the files OK. Well, that's made a mess of things. You need to undeploy it from there, and just unzip properly. Don't forget to to update conf/tomcat-users.xml with an appropriate userid, password, and the "admin" role. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
