Host Manager Questions
I'm trying to use the host manager to deploy new hosts, and when I try to do
so I get this error message:
FAIL - Couldnt install manager.xml
Does anyone have any idea what is happening? I'm using Tomcat version 5.5.9.

RE: Host Manager Questions
Posted by George Sexton <gs...@mhsoftware.com>.
Since I'm currently running something like 70 some odd virtual hosts on one
tomcat installation I would really rather not have the manager application
deployed on each of those 70 hosts. Each host has only one context (the ROOT
context) and after the virtual host is created, it is seldom if ever
changed.
Its just really ridiculous that the host-manager doesn't serialize the
creation options for the virtual host when it creates it, or that when it
auto-deploys a web application on creation, it doesn't create a context.xml
that points to the auto-deployed context.

Good Afternoon George
I deploy thru Tomcat 5.5.7 Manager where I
Browse to the war I want to deploy and
click deploy and
the webapp is unjar'ed, web.xml has correct entries for all jars and
resources etc..
so the web application is installed and configured automatically when you
use Tomcat 5.5.7 Manager
Hope this helps,
Martin-

RE: Host Manager Questions

OK, that pointed me in the right direction. The tomcat user did not have
WRITE permissions to the
[enginename] directory.
That now brings up the point that just slays me:
Why in the world does it assume that I want the manager application deployed
to the new host? Who thought that was a good idea?
When I create the new host, it copies manager.xml, and deploys my ROOT
context (which exists in docbase), but doesn't create a ROOT.xml file in the
[enginname]/[hostname]
Directory. Also, it doesn't appear that the host-manager modifies
server.xml, so any aliases or options specified at creation are lost when
the server re-starts.
As it stands, this is pretty useless. It just infuriates me that any time I
point out how bad the admin app is, everyone tells me to use manager, or
host-manager, but they're totally useless as well.

Hello George
Did you try to install manager.xml into
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]
