1. Add a line to your c:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\tomcat-users.xml file so that you have a user who has admin role. For example, add this line just before the last line (containing </tomcat-users>) of the file:
   • <user username="admin" password="makesomethingup" roles="admin,manager"/>
     
2. Restart Tomcat.
   
3. Now when you visit _http://localhost:8080/admin_ you should see a page that asks for a user name and password. If you still see the "no longer loaded" error message in your browser, you must either force a full reload of the web page (in Firefox, hold down Shift key while clicking on the Reload button) or just restart your browser completely.
   

How do I add JARs or classes to the common classloader without adding them to $CATALINA_HOME/

...

lib?

Either

a) Run Tomcat with separate $CATALINA_BASE and $CATALINA_HOME (as documented in RUNNING.txt) and place those classes into $CATALINA_BASE/lib, or

b) Edit the file catalina.properties under $CATALINA_BASE/conf; there is a property called common.loader to which you can add additional paths to find JARs or classes for the common classloader.
