Hi David Thanks for replying. Yes the manager.xml file is there. I checked the log files and do see these msgs:
Apr 6, 2007 11:31:08 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig applicationWebConfig INFO: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/ho st-manager] Apr 6, 2007 11:31:09 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig applicationWebConfig INFO: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/ma nager] The msgs suggest that the manager and host-manager web-apps are being loaded. But I'm not sure why its complaining about the web.xml, since those files are present in CATALINA_ROOT/server/webapps/[host-]manager/WEB-INF.
