how to browse to tomcat manager servlet

[elukaweski]

I am using sts 2.9.0 and tc server developer edition (in sts). After I start the tc server, I try to browse to localhost:8080/manager/html to start up the tomcat manager app. the response I get is "resource not available". Is there something I am missing?

thanks

Not sure if 2.9.0 is the same but I'm using 2.8.1 and I needed to use the 'module' tab on the server configuration to enable the tomcat manager app. Use add Web Module and browse to your tc instance / manager webapp. Also I needed to add a user to the tomcat-users.xml file.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the reply. that worked to get the manager app into the server. I now have to figure out why my user config is not working

<tomcat-users>
<user username="admin" password="password" roles="manager-gui" />
</tomcat-users>
