tomcat manager not working
ok I have an Apache Tomcat installed via the Railo installer from
www.getrailo.org
sometimes when I install it the Tomcat admin pages (status, tomcat
manager) do not work, only the main page is working.
I have compared it to working installs and everything seems the same.
any ideas ?
I am running on windows and have this on both IIS6 and IIS7 btw

What does that mean in terms of the XML elements & attributes in server.xml?

thanks for your advice so far, I will be giving your suggestion a try
as soon as I have a spare, the issue is not urgent right now, so i;m
in no hurry.

...
I suppose that above, you mean the Tomcat list.
And I regret if I in particular may have sounded aggressive, that was not the purpose of
my "sermon".
I was only trying to explain that, this being a Tomcat list, most of the people may not
know anything about Railo (I certainly don't), and not have any idea about what it does to
Tomcat or its configuration files, and hence not have any initial idea what the real
source of the problem could be.
We also have no direct access to your Tomcat host, so we cannot just browse around and try
to figure out what's wrong by ourselves.
In other words, we are really trying to help, but from a difficult starting point.
We are blind and paralytic, and you are our eyes and hands. If you want us to be able to
help, you have to do precisely what we tell you to do, and tell us precisely what you see.
Otherwise there is no way we can figure it out, and we will have to send you back to the
Railo list. (Not because we are mean or unhelpful, but because we have no clue).
What we should normally tell you to do, is to install another Tomcat from the Tomcat
website, try it and see if the manager app works. Then if it does, let you compare
/these/ two configurations and figure out the differences by yourself.
But we are not going to do that quite yet because we like challenges, so
We would like you to start from a point which we may know about a bit better (a "more
standard" Tomcat configuration), without asking you to undo everything and start clean.
Then we will see if with such a configuration the manager works (like it does in the "real
standard" configuration which the normal Tomcat installer sets up). And then, gradually,
get back to your current configuration where it /seems/ not to work.
We are hoping to be able to spot what change makes it suddenly not work as expected, or
even if with this more basic configuration it does not work.
Right now :
- we don't know which version of Tomcat you are running
- we don't know if the Railo installer installs a full Tomcat, including a manager app or
not, and we don't know what configuration changes it makes compared to a standard Tomcat.
- we are supposing that when you issue your URL calls, it is from a browser running on the
same host as the one where you have Tomcat and Railo installed
- we are supposing that on your host, the name "localhost" is really equivalent to the IP
address 127.0.0.1
- after your 10th post or so, we have learned that you had 2 <Host> tags in the
server.xml, sharing apparently the same "webapps" dir. We don't really know where that
comes from (the standard Tomcat install configures just one Host), not if it matters here.
- we also know that after you ran the Railo installer, you also ran something else which
we do not know either, and then you made some more changes back and forth manually to the
configuration. That does not clarify the situation for us.
- we do not know the top path of your Tomcat installation (thus we do not know really
where the "webapps" dir is located)
But
- We know that you are getting an HTTP error 404 when you try to access
"http://localhost:8888/manager/html". So we know that a Tomcat is running, but it is not
finding that page where it expects to find it.
At some point you have told us that, under your "webapps" directory, you have the
following sub-directories :
docs
host-manager
manager
root
The sub-directory "root" above should be "ROOT" uppercase. It matters greatly, even under
Windows.
Because if it is really "root" like you wrote, then in principle the URL which you say is
working (http://localhost:8888/index.jsp), should not be working.
And if it is really "root", then it means that either the Railo installer is broken, or
you have somehow renamed that directory, or copied it from somewhere else without paying
attention to case.
So please :
1) tell us the full path of the top Tomcat installation directory, amd its version if you
know it
2) stop Tomcat (telling us how you do that)
3) rename the above "webapps/root" directory to "webapps/ROOT" if necessary
4) in your (tomcat_dir)/conf/server.xml, delete or comment out the second <Host>...</Host>
section, leaving only the Host named "localhost"
5) restart Tomcat (telling us how you do that) and wait 10 sec.
6) from a browser on the same host, access "http://localhost:8888", and then redo the same
again while pressing "shift" and the "reload" icon.
If what you see is a page with a Tomcat logo and a menu on the left, then it's fine.
Otherwise, tell us what page you do see.
7) if the page above worked fine, then click on the "Tomcat Manager" link in that menu and
tell us what happens. (You should normally get an authentication dialog).

Re: tomcat manager not working
Posted by Russ Michaels <ru...@michaels.me.uk>.
For some reason some of the folks on the Railo list seem to have got
quite aggressive toward me due to my wording in my original post where
I said.
"I have already tried the Railo forums and been told to come here as
it is a problem with Tomcat and not Railo. "
Jordan seems to think this was directed at him, which it is not as no
name was mentioned, and certain others seem to think this
"misrepresents" the Railo list.
So I would like to clarify this to avoid any overspill of the abuse
on to this list, which no-one wants.
All I meant by this is that I was referred to the Tomcat list to try
and resolve a Tomcat problem, which seems perfectly normal and
acceptable to me and I have no issues with it.
In fact I am not even saying that it was anyone on the Railo list that
referred me, simply that I was referred by someone, I was posting my
issue on skype and twitter as well as the Railo list, so it could have
come from any of those sources.
Now while I can see that the statement could easily be misinterpreted
that i', saying that it was the Railo list who told me to come here,
regardless of where it came from, I have no issue issue with it at all
as I do not think there is anything wrong with referring someone to a
more appropriate list, and I am quite dumbfounded as to why anyone
else would have an issue with this, but there you go.
I hope that is now cleared up.

ok I have completely deleted the maxyexpress vhost as it is not needed anyway.
restarted Apache
still the same issue i'm afraid.
I think all the vhosts need webapps as the appbase for Railo, as this
is how it is on all my other installs as well.
here is the exact error if it helps.

Allright, but what I meant was this :
In your original configuration, you have 2 <Host> tags, thus 2 VirtualHosts, both sharing
the same (tomcat_dir)/webapps application directory.
If the configuration of these 2 <Host> tags were identical, both with the "autoDeploy"
attribute true, then when starting, Tomcat would deploy each application under
(tomcat_dir)/webapps twice (once for each Host).
But, in your original configuration, it seems that the second Host does not have this
attribute set (nor "unpackWars"). Thus for this Host, the applications under webapps
(including the manager) may not be auto-deployed, and not be available.
In any case, you are trying to debug an issue, and for that a usual strategy is to try to
simplify the configuration, to make it easier to find the real issue and not being
sidetracked.
So what I would do in this case, unless you have a real use for a separate "localhost"
Host, is this :
- comment out the second virtual Host.
- optionally(*), in the first "localhost" virtual Host, add 2 Alias tags :
<Alias>www.maxyexpress.co.uk</Alias>
<Alias>maxyexpress.co.uk</Alias>
So now the same Host will be used, no matter if you access the server via http://localhost
or http://(one of the above), and the applications will be started (or not) only once.
then restart Tomcat and let's see what happens.
Then if that works, you can try to re-introduce the second Host and its manager app
step-by-step and see at what point it stops working.
(*) optionally in this case, because the Host "localhost" is the default one anyway, and
will server all requests if there are no other Host.
The Alias-es here just make things clearer documentation-wise.
The point is : the standard Apache Tomcat, downloaded and installed from the standard
Apache Tomcat website, works, including the manager application.
Now you have a configuration created by "railo" (which I do not know), and in that version
something is not working.
So railo does something to the configuration, that makes it not work.
So this is basically a railo problem, not a Tomcat problem.
And we can't possibly look onto your system, to find out what else railo may be doing that
makes it not work.
People on this list are nevertheless willing to help find out, but let's start from as
close as possible to a standard Tomcat config, so that we could gain a clue.
Yes ?

thanks for the replies guys.
just to clarify I do not have any issues with virtual hosts they work
fine, my only problem is getting the Tomcat Admin running on
localhost:8888, this is the only thing not working right now.
As I mentioned before
under webapps I have 4 folders
docs
host-manager
manager
root
and I have compared the contents of these folders to other working
installs and they are the same.
C:\Railo\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost
also exists and also contains the same files as other working installs
and as per mark's email
so just to confirm
localhost:8888/index.jsp works
I get the tomcat homepage
but the manager and status pages give a 404

Re: tomcat manager not working
Posted by André Warnier <aw...@ice-sa.com>.
I don't want to confuse things even more, but the OP in his configuration has :
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
and
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
and
<Host name="www.maxyexpress.co.uk" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="d:\wwwroot\maxyexpress.co.uk\wwwroot" />
<Alias>maxyexpress.co.uk</Alias>
</Host>
so that makes 2 Virtual Hosts with the same appBase, and a non-recommended <Context> in
the server.xml file.

Don't think so. On Windows, a leading forward or backward slash after the drive prefix (d:, in this case) indicates an absolute path. The JVM will figure that out properly.

The above appBase setting should probably be "D:/wwwroot/maxyexpress.co.uk", coupled with naming the default webapp's .war file or directory ROOT (case sensitive) rather than wwwroot, located under the appBase directory. Much more along the lines of current Tomcat good practice.

That part shouldn't matter, but forward slashes certainly avoid confusion with regular expression escapes that might appear elsewhere in .xml files.

Caveat - I have not worked with Railo. Take the following with a grain of salt.
OK, some things to check.
1. Make sure that localhost on this server points to 127.0.0.1 and not the IP address of the virtual host.
2. Make sure that %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\Catalina\localhost\manager.xml exists and has the following content:
<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" />
I've stripped out the comments that come with the default installation
3. Make sure that %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\manager exists
I don't know if you have a reference installation of Tomcat available to check if the contents are the same, but that would be a good idea.
This should get the localhost:8888/ manager web application running.
It will NOT get a manager application running for your virtual host. You'll need to set that up separately, so that http://www.maxyexpress.co.uk:8888/manager/html works as expected.
See the following for an example on how to set multiple managers up with virtual hosts:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatDevelopmentVirtualHosts
In short, there are three things you'll probably have to do.
1. Create a %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\Catalina\www.maxyexpress.co.uk directory
2. Copy %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\Catalina\localhost\manager.xml to that directory
3. Copy %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\manager to the virtual host's appBase
You're virtual host configuration is a bit broken from how I understand the Tomcat documentation.
From:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html
The docBase must either an absolute path to the directory or war file, or a relative path from the owning Host's appBase.
You have the following virtual host:
<Host name="www.maxyexpress.co.uk" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="d:\wwwroot\maxyexpress.co.uk\wwwroot" />
<Alias>maxyexpress.co.uk</Alias>
</Host>
This means that the actual docBase may end up to be:
%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\d:\wwwroot\maxyexpress.co.uk\wwwroot
???
I suggest following the Wiki entry above and setting your virtual host up as follows:
<Host name="www.maxyexpress.co.uk"
appBase="D:/wwwroot/maxyexpress.co.uk/wwwroot"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Alias>maxyexpress.co.uk</Alias>
</Host>
Also, note that the information is case sensitive, and the slashes are / not \ (even on Windows).
I don't know how Railo sets up a ROOT application, but the best bet is to follow Tomcat guidelines which is:
1. Name your www.maxyexpress.co.uk default application ROOT.war
2. Deploy it in the virtual host's appBase
If you don't construct a WAR file, then copy the application files into a directory called ROOT in the virtual host's appBase.
One last thing - if the CFML application uses WEB-INF or META-INF as protected directories (have not used ColdFusion since its conversion to Java), then placing the Tomcat appBase as the IIS document root is potentially dangerous. Tomcat won't serve content under WEB-INF/ or META-INF/. I don't think IIS has those same protections.
. . . . just my two cents.

IIS version doesn't matter as you're working directly with Tomcat's web
server.
Tested on w2k3 and it works for me.
Try it without the VHost Copier and see if you get better results.

Re: tomcat manager not working
Posted by Russ Michaels <ru...@michaels.me.uk>.
yes 100%, no other version of the installer has ever been downloaded
in this server.
The localhost entry was changed the vhost copier plugin, but it
already didn't work before I installed this.
the server we have been discussing is windows 2003 IIS6.

Are you certain?
That version of the installer doesn't update the Tomcat localhost entry.
If your localhost entry was modified, that's not the version you used.
Further, that version works for me using the URL's you specified.
Which OS (be specific) are you having the trouble on?
Warm regards,

Restart the service? Clear browser cache? What URL are you using?

Re: tomcat manager not working
Posted by Jordan Michaels <jo...@viviotech.net>.
Don't use context at all in there. Your localhost entry should be:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
.. and that's it. Unless you deliberately want your default site to be
the same as your IIS default site.
Restart the tomcat service after you update the server.xml with the
default loclahost entry, then hit your server at
localhost:8888/index.jsp to get the default tomcat home page. You will
be able to reach the rest of the tomcat apps from there.
Warm regards,
Jordan Michaels

tried that didn.t work.
On a working server, my localhost entry is

and lochost:8888 gets me into the tomcat admin and it all works

What? Link it, or it didn't happen.
Check your localhost mapping in the Tomcat server.xml file. Make sure
it's pointing to the Tomcat webapps/ROOT/ folder. Some earlier Railo
builds update the default to point to the IIS root. The idea was to not
confuse the IIS folks because their IIS webroot didn't match their
Tomcat webroot, but that practice ended up causing just as much
confusion as it solved - like in your case.
Make sure the "localhost" server.xml mapping points to the tomcat
webapps/ROOT/ directory and you should be set to use the Tomcat webapps.
Warm regards,

So, their out-of-the-box configuration doesn't work and it's a Tomcat
problem? :(

Are you using any kind of proxy out front, or straight-to-Tomcat?

I have already tried the Railo forums and been told to come here as it
is a problem with Tomcat and not Railo.
I think the only difference is the install path, it is put in
c:\railo\tomcat rather than c:\tomcat, so lets just work on that
assumption, i'm sure i'll find out pretty quick if that is not the
case.

Time to make use of that official support then as we have no idea what changes Railo may have made to the standard Tomcat distribution from the ASF.

I use the railo installer so we have a standard configuration and setup
across all server that is officially supported. I also don;t have any
previous experience with tomcat so this is also easier.

I presume so, under tomcat/webapps I have

host-manager
manager

I have not had to do anything special on other servers, it just worked out
of the box.

on the servers I compared I have checked the config files are the same, the
same files and folders exist on both servers, the handle rmappings are there
etc.
Railo app works, so tomcat itself is working.

Have those webapps been installed?
Have you properly configured Tomcat to allow the manager app to work
with proper user permissions?
What happens when you try to access, say, the manager webapp? 404?
403? Server crash? Power outage?

Specifically, what have you checked?
