Tomcat4.1 and Win2K Administrator

[david49]

I found out after many hours of banging my head on the 19" screen that Tomcat wouldn't work on Administrator account on my Win2k...

I've tried to create a different Admin account and everything worked fine...
Although when I renamed the primary Administrator account to something else other than "Administrator" it still wouldn't work.

Does anywone know why is this happenning and the steps to fix this...

thanks a bunch.

P.S. You might say what a hell just use the other account...
But hell no! I spent too much time already to give up now.

I think it is not a good idea to run it with ANY administrator account because of the security risk.

in user config file, tomcat-users.xml

do you should have a user with admin role? something like:

<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename=&quot;admin&quot; /> 
.....
  <user username=&quot;adminUser&quot; password=&quot;admin&quot; roles=&quot;admin,tomcat,role1&quot; /> 
</tomcat-users>

The thing is it has nothing to do with Tomcat...

because if I use my external IP
then everythign works as administrator
but when I type

http://127.0.0.1:8080/

I get an error..
I'm thinking that some program blocks my selfaddressing or something. (I've tried changing the port with no success)
