Subject: Status and Tomcat Manager links result in 404's
I've got a Tomcat 5.5.25 installation up and running for the
most part.
Platform?
JRE/JDK version?
FC6 and 1.4.2, respectively. They are outdated, but I needed to
duplicate a client's environment for our developers to write code that
would work on their boxes.
Do you have a real Tomcat installed, or a 3rd-party repackaged piece of junk?
If the latter, download and install a proper one from
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi.
Packaged. And, folks are already developing on it - I don't want to
pull the rug out from underneath them. But I do appreciate the wise
words - I will certainly heed them in the future. I hope that
continuing to use the Fedora packaged version doesn't preclude any
further advice.
I've got what looks like a proper context in
/usr/share/tomcat5/server/webapps/manager/manager.xml:
That one is just a copy of the real one, left there during packaging of the source.
The <Context> element for the manager app should be in
/usr/share/tomcat5/conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml; if it's not there, you have a
bad installation.
A 'bad' installation? You mean, the whole install is fubar'ed or just
needs some adjusting? The phrasing makes the situation sound pretty
dire. The /usr/share/tomcat5/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory is
empty. I'm not too terribly versed with regards to Tomcat, but I am
eager to learn, so I took your advice below and read the fine manual. I
did find reference describing how to add an instance of the Manager web
app Context to hosts at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Introduction
I also tried editing the context to list a path (I set
it to path="/manager")
Don't ever do that; it's illegal to have a path in a <Context> element unless the
<Context> element is inside server.xml - which it should never be, in this day and
age. Read the doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
Really? The docs seem to disagree:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Introduction
indicates I can use that in manager.xml as well.
But, thanks for pointing me to the docs - I did solve my problem by
adding the manager.xml to the localhost directory in the Catalina directory.
Respectfully,
Ryan
