http://server-ip-address:8080/admin/
You may receive a message:
Notice
Tomcat’s administration web application is no longer installed by default.
Download and install the “admin” package to use it.

This is because, by default admin section of tomcat is not enable.
To enable Admin section, you can refer to following steps.
“
%TOMCAT_FOLDER%/conf/tomcat-users.xml” manually.If you have a cPanel server then you will find the file
/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/
tomcat-users.xml
Before editing the file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <tomcat-users> <!-- <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/> <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/> --> </tomcat-users>
After editing file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <tomcat-users> <!-- <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/> <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/> <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/> --> <role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="admin"/> <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin,manager"/> </tomcat-users>
To enable admin access, just update the content like above. Saved it and restart Tomcat, now you can access Tomcat admin or manger pages with user = “admin” and password = “admin“.
