Problem accessing Tomcat5 Administrator Panel

[lukewood]

Dear all,

I am having problems accessing the admin control panel of Tomcat. I have installed version 5.5 on Fedora 8 using YUM. I also installed the admin package. My tomcat-users.xml is as follows:-

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="admin" password="pw" roles="admin,manager"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>

I can access 'Tomcat Manager' but when I try to open 'Tomcat Administration' a blank white screen is displayed. I don't seem to be able to get to the bottom of this. I have trawled the forums to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Luke

Hmm, works fine here. What did the tomcat logs say?
