First-time user of Tomcat 5.5
Hi,
I have just downloaded the Tomcat 5.5 Windowns Installer on my XP laptop and completed the installation (seemingly successfully).
I went through the basic configuration and the Tomcat service started successfully. (It actually wouldn't start
Because my JRE versions is 1.4 - after getting the 1.5 JRE, it was able to start).
Now, I would go to Tomcat->Manager or Tomcat->Welcome pages but these pages showed up error of the following :
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.
Is there something obvious that I am missing ?
Thanks for any reply,
Ernie

hi,
have a look at your tomcat-users.xml file in "%TOMCAT_HOME%/conf".
There should be a role named "manager" and a user for this role like the following...
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager"></role>
<user password="tomcat" roles="manager" username="tomcat"></user>
</tomcat-users>

Grumble, grumble - it's another file that has been left out of the .exe
installer. It's in the .zip and .tar.gz versions. I much prefer the
.zip over the .exe, since the .exe is also missing the script files
which are useful while learning Tomcat.

Correct. You probably do want the admin webapp, which should be
unzipped into the Tomcat directory. Unfortunately, it only matches the
directory naming for the .zip core download, so you have to do some
manual copying to get it right when using the .exe installer.
You never said which JRE level you have installed. If it's 1.4, you'll
need the Compatibility Package, which again suffers from the same
directory naming issues as the admin download when used with the .exe
installer. If you have a 1.5 JRE (recommended), you must not install
the Compatibility Package.

This indicates Tomcat never got started. The service log is just the
installer creating the Windows service for Tomcat. Consider grabbing
the .zip and installing that instead. The .zip comes with a script to
create a service later once you're comfortable with Tomcat.

Nope, not necessary. Testing is usually done with localhost
(127.0.0.1).

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
1) I cannot locate the "RUNNINGS.txt" indicated below in the home directory.
What I had done is gotten the installer from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi
Please also note that I DID NOT get the DEPLOYER or EMBEDDED zips as I did not think they are needed.
2) nothing notable in the LOGs, everything is blank except for jakarta_service_20061109.log which does not indicate errors.
3) I used admin/admin which is set to manager role.
4) I do not have a staic IP, I don't think it should matter should it?
Thanks,
Ernie

1) Look at RUNNING.txt in the Tomcat home directory and make sure you've done what's documented in there. Ignore the advanced section.
2) Look in the Tomcat logs to see why it's not coming up properly.
3) Running the manager app requires that you update conf/tomcat-users.xml with a userid/password that has the "manage" role.

1) Look at RUNNING.txt in the Tomcat home directory and make sure you've
done what's documented in there. Ignore the advanced section.
2) Look in the Tomcat logs to see why it's not coming up properly.
3) Running the manager app requires that you update
conf/tomcat-users.xml with a userid/password that has the "manage" role.
