http://localhost:8080/manager/html gives a 404 error on apt-get install of tomcat6 (6.0.28 on JVM 1.6.0_20-b20 on 2.6.35-27-generic amd64).
http://localhost:8080/host-manager/html works. Lists one Host name, localhost.
Installed tomcat6-admin with apt-get.
$ ls dpkg -l | grep -i tomcat6-admin
ii tomcat6-admin 6.0.28-2ubuntu1.1 Servlet and JSP engine -- admin web applications
$ cat /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/tomcat-users.xml
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="manager" />
<user username="tomcatuser" password="Password1" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>
$ cat /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml
<Context path="/manager"
docBase="/usr/share/tomcat6-admin/manager"
antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" />
<role name="manager" />
<user name="manager" password="Password1" roles="manager" />
<user name="tomcatuser" password="Password1" roles="manager" />
Those two files are the only documentation I've seen on how to setup the Manager webapp, and they seem to be compliant with the requirements.
However, the Tomcat XML parser doesn't seem to like that first tag in manager.xml:
Mar 18, 2011 2:41:22 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor
SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor manager.xml
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:///etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml; lineNumber: 4; columnNumber: 2; The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

Pursing the error log message from
catalina.out
, finally realized that I got confused when copy-pasting and put the<role>
and<user>
tags in bothtomcat-users.xml
andmanager.xml
. Those tags can only go intomcat-users.xml
. Once the tags were removed frommanager.xml
, the Manager began working.To restate, the only contents of
manager.xml
areWould be nice to
