Not sure....

Hey guys,

When I have problems with my xampp. I'm not sure if Tomcat is not working because I have a web application that requires Tomcat.

When I load up my web app, it shows the indexing which means, something isn't right.


Could tomcat not be working?


Thanks! :D

This might help....... I went to the main webpage of xmapp and I clicked on tomcat and it seems it's down......

Download the XAMPP Control Panel version 3 from here and try again to start Tomcat and remember that Apache and MySQL should also be running before starting Tomcat:
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=46743
This new panel will allow you to force a stop and start if there are issues.

You can also check in the Windows Task Manager to see if tomcat is a running process.

Reminder that all beta versions of XAMPP are best supported from the web form on the XAMPP beta web page so the developers can see and address any issues, not here as they often do not read this English forum.

Ok, Install went okay,

But When I click on Start Tomcat while when Apache & MySQL is running, It still says...

5:29:42 PM [tomecat] Starting tomcat app....


It's still like that. and no green light comes up on tomcat. What's the next step?

Did you give it time to start the java executable, can take up to 30 seconds depending on your system?

Can you see a Force start when you click on the stop/start button?

Does it show green Tomcat in the panel?

Have you checked the Windows Task Manager?

1) Yeah I did give it time to start the java executable

2) No I can only see force stop button.

3) No, No Green

4) I checked the Task Manager, and I don't see anything about tomcat.

Umm, I think I didn't....

Ok, I have installed it. And it works! Thanks! And one more thing....

But if you may know about Tomcat. I can't log into the manager.......

I used the right log in info and when I log in, The login form refreshes.

Here's my tomcat-users.xml file....

Code: Select all
<tomcat-users><role rolename="manager"/><role rolename="tomcat"/><role rolename="role1"/><user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/><user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/><user username="test" password="test" roles="manager"/><user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/></tomcat-users>

Often you have to add the admin role also.

Here is what I have
Code: Select all
<tomcat-users>
<!--
  NOTE:  By default, no user is included in the "manager-gui" role required
  to operate the "/manager/html" web application.  If you wish to use this app,
  you must define such a user - the username and password are arbitrary.
-->
<!--
  NOTE:  The sample user and role entries below are wrapped in a comment
  and thus are ignored when reading this file. Do not forget to remove
  <!.. ..> that surrounds them.
-->
  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <user username="xampp" password="xampp" roles="admin,manager"/>

</tomcat-users>
You can retain the others in your file if you wish.

Restart Tomcat after editing.

Here is another approach minus the junk and with all the roles using different passwords to my example
Code: Select all
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="admin" password="secret" roles="manager,admin"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
</tomcat-users>

I found a more up to date role reference for Tomcat 7 but as yet I have not tried it, so perhaps if you have the time you could test these Tomcat7 roles and provide feedback here, thanks:

Good luck.
