The manager webapp provided by tomcat doesn't need installation -- it's a part of tomcat already in the download distribution. It's location has changed slightly over time -- normally found in the webapps directory, tomcat 5.5.x put it in server/webapps by default. Regarding the error below, there must have been a previous error in the logs from when you started tomcat. Could you look at that and post if necessary?

Hello,

I'm trying to install the manager application on Tomcat 5.5.26 (well, actually 
it comes installed by default, I am just trying to make it work) and after I 
authenticate with a user created in conf/tomcat-users.xml I get the following 
message

HTTP Status 404 - Servlet HTMLManager is not available
________________________________

not available.

I googled around but all I could find was recomentations to re-install the 
application but this mostly relates to RPM installs or 3rd party software but I 
am using the source distribution from the official site... however I did try to 
unpack the source again and overwrite the manager application (still have the 
problem though).

My server.xml has the following about this:

 <GlobalNamingResources>
 <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
             type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
             description="User database that can be updated and saved"
             factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
             pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
 </GlobalNamingResources>
[...]
           <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" 
resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
               <Context path="/manager" docBase="/usr/local/tomcat-5.5.26/webapps/manager" 
reloadable="true" crossContext="true"/>

Think these are the relevant parts.

If you have any ideas on what may be causing this let me know.

Thanks,
Nuno
