Tomcat Manager is not accessible in my multi-domain configuration. I get a 404 even though the manager files are present in both domains.
Funny enough, I'm able to make this configuration work locally. However, when I transfer my configuration to my servers, it falls apart.
Here is my config file:

Directory listing for both intranet and internet in webapps, showing the manager having been copied in both folders:
[me@server internet]$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat appsadmins 4096 Jun 9 08:34 hello
drwxr-xr-x 5 tomcat appsadmins 4096 Jun 9 08:25 manager
[me@server intranet]$ ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat appsadmins 4096 Jun 9 08:34 hello
drwxr-xr-x 5 tomcat appsadmins 4096 Jun 9 08:25 manager
The /hello
context works in both domains, showing individualized content for each domains.
I can also manually move WAR files into each intranet and internet folders to deploy. However, I'm asked to use the Tomcat Manager (which is the standard way for undeploying/deploying?)
Edit #1
This is currently on Tomcat 8/Java 8. However, I have obtained the same results on our other Tomcat7/Java7 servers. No problems in local VMs though.
Edit #2
Log files that seem to show that the manager has been deployed successfully.
22-Jun-2015 09:33:24.813 INFO [my.internet.com-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory Deployment of web application directory /path/to/tomcat/webapps/internet/manager has finished in 562 ms
22-Jun-2015 09:33:51.990 INFO [my.intranet.com-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory Deployment of web application directory /path/to/tomcat/webapps/intranet/manager has finished in 316 ms
Edit #3
I added webapps/host-manager/manager.xml
to
conf/Catalina/my.internet.com/
and to conf/Catalina/my.intranet.com
I still get a 404.
Edit #4
Reverted to a minimal configuration. 404 on manager/html still.
The only configured host:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
The access logs:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [02/Jul/2015:10:17:41 -0400] "GET /manager/html HTTP/1.1" 404 1018
/docs
and /example
work though.
And again, in a CentOS 6.3 VM, I was able to mimic two domains without too much fuss.
Edit #5
Need to get back at this... on my destination server again.
Recap, configuration of internet domain:
<Host name="my.internet.com" appBase="inter"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
prefix="inter_localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"
pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" />
</Host>
Doing a tail -f logs/inter_localhost_access_log.2015-08-04.txt
, I can see requests being logged when connecting to my.internet.com
.
Accessing the manager/html
, gives me 404

Access the Apache Tomcat console by browsing to http://localhost:8080/ (if installed as a non-root user) or http://localhost/ (if installed as the root user).
By default the Host Manager is only accessible from a browser running on the same machine as Tomcat. If you wish to modify this restriction, you'll need to edit tomcat/webapps/manager/META-INF/context. xml to allow all ips or just yours.
Perhaps the simplest way to deploy a WAR file to Tomcat is to copy the file to Tomcat's webapps directory. Copy and paste WAR files into Tomcat's webapps directory to deploy them. Tomcat monitors this webapps directory for changes, and if it finds a new file there, it will attempt to deploy it.
So, if the file is not present, you need to create a file conf/Catalina/localhost/manager. xml and specify the rule to allow remote hosts. Add the following content. You also need to create an XML file for the host-manager web app to allow access for remote hosts.
If you want the manager to work with multiple virtual hosts, you will need to configure the manager for each host.
