Getting the following error, I am running this command in webapps directory

For tomcat-6.0.30 and newer you need to use the following URL:
and define in tomcat-users.xml a role and a user like this:

Thanks it works.


Dont we have a command as we do for starting and stopping all services using shell script. ./startup.sh for staring all services and ./shutdown.sh for stopping all srvices in TOMCAT.


Basically I was trying to start and stop individual service this way without any authentication or setup.

Is there a way something like ./startup.sh Myapp

There is this python script, but you still need to provide the username and password in command line.

I am trying to start and stop the services from a client linux machine.

The inputs that are available to me will be start script, stop script, location of the script , webapp directory and Application name (war file).

In the above case I need to set up this python script in all the remote machine and I should also have userid, passwd too.

This is too much task, why cant we start/stop the individual services as we do for the tomcat server using the start/stop script ?

You can install it on a single box and use something like

This is how tomcat works. You need a username/password for the manager application that is used to manage all the other apps running on tomcat

If your TOMCAT is installed in same linux machine then by using above command we will be calling to the same machine thru http again to start/stop application.


I am looking the easier by making use of start/stop script, I dont think admin will be using wget command to do it.

If this how TOMCAT works then there may be some reason apart frm security as we have the scripts that can start and shutdown whole server at one moment.

Or probably python script is the better solution, if I am starting and stopping individual services frm a single linux box, but setting up these manager user id and passwd is a task.

Thankyou,

If you any other solution pls let me knw.
