tomcat - unable to access manager http://localhost:8080/manager/

I have an issue with tomcat. I'm on win 7.

I get an error on the following URL
http://localhost:8080/manager/
http://localhost:8080/manager/html

HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.

I have set up the "manager" user/role in the conf/tomcat-users.xml

tomcat starts successfully and the sample application work (e.g http://localhost:8080/sample/) but I cannot access http://localhost:8080/manager/.

thanks

i'm new to java and tomcat. I don't think I have installed the admin console separately. do i need to?

I don't see a manger folder anywhere. there is a host-manager folder under web. manager.xml is in this folder. here s the contents of manager.xml and tomcat-users.xml

===================
manager.xml
===================



<Context docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager"
privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">

<ResourceLink name="users" global="UserDatabase"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>

</Context>

===================
tomcat-users.xml
===================

<role rolename="manager" />
<role rolename="tomcat" />
<role rolename="admin" />
<role rolename="user" />
<role rolename="AllAuthenticatedUsers" />
roles="user,tomcat,admin,manager,AllAuthenticatedUsers" />
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager" />
</tomcat-users>

If manager folder inside webapps is not present, then that is the reason, why you are seeing 404.

You need to reinstall the tomcat server to get it back.

sorry there is a manager folder under host-manager
(C:\...\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\webapps\host-manager\manager)

i'm able to access the following URL. Its shows the "Tomcat Virtual Host Manager" console
http://localhost:8080/host-manager/html

however if i click on the "Server status" link there it takes me to "http://localhost:8080/manager/status". Here is get the 404 error - The requested resource () is not available.

Server Information:
Tomcat version: Apache Tomcat/6.0.29
JVM Version: 1.6.0_23-ea-b01
OS Name: Windows 7

ideally i do not want to reinstall due to some other dependency

appreciate greatly the responses so far

also another thing to note

i get the 404 error on http://localhost:8080/host-manager/
(The requested resource (/host-manager/) is not available)

however I'm able to login to http://localhost:8080/host-manager/html using the admin username and password

that worked. Thanks a lot. I moved the manager folder from the webapps/host-manager to webapps. Now the http://localhost:8080/manager/html is working (takes me to Tomcat Web Application Manager). The URL http://localhost:8080/manager still gives the 404 error though

Again, There is no default page for manager application too..

Tomcat 6.0\webapps\
