using this tutorial http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerSetup.php#install_viewer
And it tells me to display the Tomcat manager application through this link http://localhost:8080/manager/html.
However when I click it I get an error from my browser saying it could not connect. Why is this? How exactly does one display the Tomcat Manager Application
The default path to load the Tomcat Manager application is http://localhost:8080/manager/html. You will be prompted to enter the username and password that was stored in tomcat-users.
The Tomcat Host Manager application is a part of Tomcat installation, by default available using the following context: /host-manager . You can use the host manager in the following ways: Utilizing the graphical user interface, accessible at: {server}:{port}/host-manager/html .
If you are launching tomcat from within Eclipse (using the webtools tomcat server adapter) you will have to make sure you have changed the settings to use the installation directory to launch instead of the default which uses a separate location for loading and deploying webapps. So just having the manager in your webapps in the tomcat installation wont be enough to see the manager since by default tomcat launched by Eclipse doesn't look for apps in the webapps folder.
Just make sure that catalina.base and catalina.home point to the tomcat installation directory
I solved that problem by setting up the server management in Eclipse to take control of the Tomcat installation, which has the manager enabled. This thread explains how to do it:
Tomcat started in Eclipse but unable to connect to http://localhost:8085/
Anyway I have the console at the address you mentioned:
localhost:8080/manager/html
in Tomcat 7.
