Bundling Insight with Tomcat 5 simplifies installation and configuration as well as management.

Tomcat Manager

The Tomcat Manager application is designed to simplify the management and deployment of servlet applications. Luna has configured the Tomcat Manager to restrict access to only requests from that machine. Furthermore, it has been pre-configured with your Insight admin username and password.
The Tomcat Manager can be reached by going to:
http://localhost:8081/manager
For more information on the Tomcat Manager and how to use it, please see Tomcat's user document.

Tomcat Configuration Files

Tomcat 5.0 has three main locations for configuration information:

The Tomcat server.xml

The Tomcat 5.0 server.xml specifies the port and other general information about Tomcat. If you need to change the port Tomcat is running on after you've installed, you would adjust it here.

The Tomcat Context Area

The Tomcat Context area, located in the Catalina/localhost directory of Tomcat's conf directory contains a series of XML files, one for each of Tomcat's Servlet Contexts.
Each of these XML files contains basic configuration information for its servlet, including debug levels, IP Restrictions, the location of the servlet's files, and other general information.

web.xml Files

Each Java servlet has a web.xml configuration file in its WEB-INF directory to specify initialization parameters and other startup information.

Tomcat Help Files

All of Tomcat's documentation has been installed with Insight and can be located in the webapps-disabled\tomcat-docs directory of the Tomcat directory.

Managing Tomcat Administrative Users

Apache Tomcat manages administrative users using a tomcat-users.xml file located in the conf directory. You may edit this file to add administrative users, or change passwords.
