Why Is The Tomcat 6 Management Webapp Missing?

rabjac · 04-24-2015, 08:01 AM

I've just installed RHEL 6.4 and selected Tomcat as part of the installation. As far as I can tell the Tomcat 6 service(s) starts/stops correctly. I have modified the tomcat-users.xml file to allow the roles of admin, management and management-gui. However there appears to be nothing under the "webapps" directory. Therefore when I try and run the Management URL, I get nothing returned.

Is this normal, what can I do to get access via the Management URL? If an rpm package is needed, is this contained on the installation DVD?

I'm not a tomcat expert but I've used it at school. Not sure why you can't access the management site.

Are you navigating to http://serverip:8080

Where there server IP is the IP of the tomcat server?

Yep, the URL that you listed and also http://serverip:8080/management/html. No joy for both.

Have you tried rebooting the machine. It sounds ridiculous and I hate to give that answer but I recently had an issue on a CentOS box. Tftpd would not start for the life of me. Rebooted and it worked. In the meantime I'll do some more googling.

I haven't tried that although I've stopped/started/restarted the tomcat6 service. I'll give it a go and see what happens.

This site had some good suggestions. Give it a go and see if it works.
