The path attribute is only valid when the <Context> element is in
server.xml, which is strongly discouraged. For other <Context> uses,
the path is derived from the name of war file (or directory) or the name
of the .xml file in conf/Catalina/[host].

Please point out where in the Tomcat 6 doc you're finding discrepancies.

Not for Tomcat 6, since the directory structure has changed. In TC 5.5
and older, the various management applications were located outside of
the normal <Host> appBase (in server/webapps), and therefore required
[appname].xml files in conf/Catalina/[host]. For TC 6, the management
applications are located under the configured appBase directory, so
their <Context> elements can be found in their respective META-INF
directories.
If you configure multiple <Host> elements with differing appBase
attributes, you have two choices. Either copy the management
applications to each appBase, or keep them in one spot and create
[appname].xml files with appropriate docBase attributes in each
conf/[engine]/[host], similar to TC 5.5.

Look in the WEB-INF/web.xml file for host-manager; you'll see that the
required role name is admin, not manager or host-manager.

What appBase did you configure for the www.domainhere.com <Host>? If
you don't have a manager webapp deployed there, you'll need to create a
conf/Catalina/www.domainhere.com/manager.xml file that contains a
<Context> element with a docBase attribute that points to the location
of the manager webapp.
