Tomcat admin application

[Richard Brust]

Has anyone gotten the "admin" app to work, and if so, how?

I have TC up and running, and all apps, including the "manager" app
seem to work. However, when trying to load the "admin" app, I get the
following page:

<error_page_snippet>
HTTP Status 404 - /admin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message /admin
description The requested resource (/admin) is not available.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

</error_page_snippet>

with the following logfile entries:

I use 4.1.12 Linux RPM distribution from jakarta.apache.org. And no
problems with admin application.
