Tomcat Administration
Hi,
Need help from someone. I've downloaded and installed admin package for
Tomcat 5.5.20. However, I still see this message:
Tomcat's administration web application is no longer installed by default.
Download and install the "admin" package to use it.
I came across several posts where people had had similar problems. However,
clearing cache/reloading page etc. had helped them. Not for me though. I
even restarted my machine but it just wouldn't work. I have no clue from
where the error page is being served cause I deleted the admin directory
from webapps/ROOT folder. This is spooky! Please help!

Found it in some location in netbeans installation. I deleted the file. I
still see the same message. Now neither MS or google desktop search lead to
any results, I still see the same message when I visit the administration
page. This is a nightmare!

Might be time for a full search of your system for the admin message.

Chuck,
Thanks again,
The contents of admin.xml are as follows:
<!--
Context configuration file for the Tomcat Administration Web App
$Id: admin.xml 303123 2004-08-26 17:03:35Z remm $
-->
<Context docBase="${catalina.home}/server/webapps/admin" privileged="true"
antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">
<!-- Uncomment this Valve to limit access to the Admin app to localhost
for obvious security reasons. Allow may be a comma-separated list of
hosts (or even regular expressions).-->
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="127.0.0.1"/>
</Context>
I don't think it is a files permission issue. I have given tomcat user the
role of admin as well. I am still confounded with where the error page is
being served from. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks so much,
Sophie

In conf/server.xml, there must be at least one <Host> element, which
uses the name "localhost" by default, and has an appBase attribute with
the value "webapps". If you haven't changed any of this, don't worry
about it.

Good. What are the contents of that admin.xml file?
Do you possibly have a file permissions problem? Different owner for
the admin pieces than the main Tomcat installation files?

Dear Charles,
Thanks so much for your help. Yes, I did make sure that I emptied the
browser cache (both IE and Firefox). And yes, I restart the same tomcat
instance where I deleted the webapps/ROOT/admin folder. I don't know what
you mean by multiple <Host> elements. In conf/catalina/ I have localhost
where admin.xml file was copied to. I did not change anything to host
appbase. (There were no such instructions in the install). Can you please
tell me what is to be done here?
Thanks,
Sophie

1) Are you sure you emptied the browser cache?
2) Are you sure you're accessing the same Tomcat in which you deleted
webapps/ROOT/admin?
3) Did you change the <Host> appBase attribute to point somewhere other
than webapps?
4) Do you have multiple <Host> elements?
5) Is there a conf/Catalina/[host]/admin.xml file? If not, you don't
have the admin package installed properly.
