Excellent, thank you that all worked fine. I was not aware, nor was able to find any documentation "Easily" available to instruct me as to where and how to put those files. The structure in the zip did look very much like the tomcat install, but there is no "Read me" in the zip to instruct as so. The verbage about the admin being a "Webapp" immediately made me think of standard deployment methods.

O.k., check the conf/tomcat-users.xml to make sure that your "admin" userid has roles of "admin" and "manager" (at least the latter should already be there).

If you just unzip the admin package, most of it will drop into server/webapps, where the manager and host-manager apps are already installed. Normal apps go into the regular webapps directory, but these three require special handling in 5.5 and below. > And perhaps I am confused as to how to deploy an application from a > directory.

No, the paths are already set up in the admin zip file to go right on top of the Tomcat installation. There are pieces that have to go into several different directories, none of them the standard webapps. Look at the structure inside the admin zip file and notice how it matches up to your already installed Tomcat. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
