Two big newbie issues

[jaykaze]

When I go to http://myserver:8080, I get the Apache Jakarta Project
page which says it's the default Tomcat homepage.

I click on Tomcat Manager and I get prompted for a user name and
password.

And I end up at the Manager page.

I see the usename and password in the tomcat-users.xml file and it says
I have the admin and manager roles.

When I click on \admin, I get nothing, just white space...

It tries to go to http://myserver:8080/admin and the windows flag quits
waving and the bottom left says "Done" but I got nothing but white
space.

My second problem is that the only app of any consequence on the server
is now found at:

http://myserver:8080/MyApplication

I'd like it to be found at simply:

Http://MyServer

Then I've got to drop a certificate on it and make it run on SSL.

Am I going to have more trouble trying to get the internet to use my
port 8443 or switching tomcat to port 443?

Friday is my last day and if I don't get this done, there's going to be
alot of money poured down the drain by this outfit and I'm not going to
care much.

Thanks for helping!

change your connector to use a ssl connector (commented out by default)
and deploy your application in the root context (eg in the 'ROOT' dir)

The file you may be interested in is server.xml in conf derectory of
Tomcat installation. You can also read the manual of tomcat.
