Grasping at straws: is there an old instance of Tomcat still running
and bound to your port? If you enable the AccessLogValve, can you
confirm that the request is actually being handled by the instance you
are launching?

This is truly strange.

I've never enabled AccessLogValve. Can you give me a quick pointer for
turning it on so we can continue debugging? It sounds like something that I
should keep in my arsenal of tools.

Agreed. Thanks for taking a look at it.

By the way, I should also say that I have now COMPLETELY DISABLED the
confluence context in my server.xml file.


So it now looks like this:

 <Server port="8000" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" >
    <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
        <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="8090" minProcessors="5"
                   maxProcessors="75"
                   enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" connectionTimeout="20000"
                   useURIValidationHack="false" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
        />
        <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />
        <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost">
            <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
           </Host>
        </Engine>
  </Service>
</Server>


This is the entirety of it. And of course, the manager still doesn't show
up.


just to reiterate.

- I have the server.xml listed above.
- I have grabbed the webapps/manager directory from a full fresh
tomcat-6.0.32 install
- I can start this standalone tomcat, and the
conf/Standalone/localhost/manager.xml is generated.
- I do not have an httpd running anywhere.
- I STILL get a 404 error when I try to go to
http://hostname:8090/manager/html.


Anything else I can try?


- Thanks,

Todd

Okay. Where is "conf" rooted?

What are catalina.base and catalina.home?

I've enabled the Access_log_Valve, as listed below:

<snip>
            <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
                <Valve
 className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
                        directory="logs"
                        prefix="tomcat_access_Logs."
                        pattern="combined"
                        resolveHosts="false"
                />
</snip>


As expected, I still get the 404 error.  Enclosed is the line from the
'tomcat_access_Logs.' file.

xx.x.32.16 - - [04/May/2012:13:59:05 -0600] "GET /manager/html HTTP/1.1"

Thoughts?

I think it's already been mentioned, but the above Connector
definition should be invalid for Tomcat 6.

Are you sure there's no extra information in the Tomcat log files that
might be useful?

Brainstorming...

Did you check access permissions for webapps/manager directory and its
contents? User running Tomcat must be able to read it.

And one more thing to try :
- Stop Tomcat
- delete all the Tomcat logfiles (before that, save a copy somewhere, for later reference)
- delete the directory /usr/local/confluence-4/conf/Standalone/ and all its content
(Tomcat will regenerate it)
- start Tomcat and try again to access the manager app
- stop Tomcat
- paste the full content here, of the logfile which shows Tomcat being started and the
applications being deployed, up to the end showing Tomcat being stopped

Note: the directory /usr/local/confluence-4/conf/Standalone/ is named so, instead of the
more classic /usr/local/confluence-4/conf/Catalina/, because in your server.xml, the
<Engine> tag has been modified, compared to the standard Tomcat 6 server.xml.
(the "name" attribute value was changed from "Catalina" to "Standalone").
(And maybe this has something to do with the issue here; it may in any case change the way
things are being logged)

Folks,

I've solved this problem.

I wound up completely removing the Confluence/tomcat directories, and
restoring them from a tar'd backup. Once I did that, i took the following
steps:

- set autodeploy to 'true' in the server.xml file
- modified the tomcat-users.xml file and server.xml file to reflect the use
of a tomcat-users.xml file
- copied the manager directory (from the apache-tomcat-6.0.32/webapps
directory from a fresh untarring of the tomcat package) tot he webapps
directory
- started tomcat.


This is all I needed to do. The manager deployed correctly, and created a
manager.xml file in the appropriate place. Not sure how things had gotten
corrupted before, but they did - so I punted. It appears to have worked.

Thanks for everyone's help.
