Running:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
Tomcat 6.0.33
Sun JDK 1.6.0_26
I installed Tomcat using the windows installer and created an admin user &
password.
Then I modified the server.xml and removed the localhost information and
inserted my own host config as:
<Host name="myhost.mydomain.com" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
The Manager directory is currently the only thing in the webapps directory. I
have a context.xml pointing to my actual app in another location.
When I try to access http://myhost.mydomain.com/manager/html, I get prompted
for the login info, 3 times, and then get this nice graphical 401 error page
explaining that the tomcat-users.xml file may need to be modified. I checked
and it seems to be missing the <role rolename="manager-gui"/> entry (hard to
tell, no hard returns).
I added the line, and even converted the file to DOS formatting, but still no,
luck.
I also noticed that the <user> entry just had "name=" and not "username=" as
the doc said, but that didn't help either.
Here is the file with the names changed to protect the innocent:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='cp1252'?>

Anybody got a clue?
