Hi

I've been setting up tomcat5 with great success and have a couple of
webapps working.

Next I thought I'll put the manager application in place and after a few
difficulties with the UserDatabase finally got it configured with a
memory Realm as discussed in the documentation for the manager app.

Ok, so all was working yesterday. Now I get an IOException about writing
to a file I don't have! Bizaarly tomcat wants a file called
tomcat-users.xml.new when I use tomcat-users.xml? What is that about?

exception, server.xml, and manager.xml (context) are below.

Any help is appreciated.
