Requesting help with Tomcat admin webapp

[Jarrod Mennuobe]

I've followed the steps outlined on other posts on this forum to get the Tomcat admin webapp working -- installed the distributed "admin" directory in

/usr/local/tomcat-5.5.12/server/webapps

installed "admin.xml" in

/usr/local/tomcat-5.5.12/conf/Catalina/localhost

Also updated tomcat-users.xml...

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <user username="ethan" password="..." roles="admin,manager"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="..." roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="..." roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="..." roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>

Restarted Tomcat. I still get this error:

"Tomcat's administration web application is no longer installed by default. Download and install the "admin" package to use it."

The admin webapp DOES show up in the webapps listing in the Tomcat Manager Web interface.

The Tomcat log files don't show any errors.

I'm using RedHat Fedora Core 4 Linux, Tomcat 5.5.12.

Any help would be apprectiated.

Thanks,

The solution is to do all of the above, then restart the computer.
