Description Dieter Ludwig 2006-02-01 21:27:09 UTC

My Tomcat is 5.5.15 on AIX 5.1. I downloaded the seperate archive of the
admin-application (also 5.5.15) and unpacked it in the appropiate dirs
(admin.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost/, the rest in server/webapps).
When I point my browser to http://localhost:8080/admin/ I get the login
screen. Although everything seems correct, catalina.out reveals this:

ERROR org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Invalid path /login was requested
ERROR org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor - Invalid path /frameset was
requested

Then I can work without any problems in the admin-application. No extra errors
occures in the log

Same failure occures also under Debian Sarge!!!

Comment 2 Emil Simeonov 2006-03-05 15:33:16 UTC

The same issue encountered with Tomcat 5.5.15, Slackware Linux 10.2, jdk: Sun SE
1.5_06.

The 'Admin' application cannot be reached at all. The installation of the admin
app was handled as described in the bug description.

Comment 3 Yoav Shapira 2006-04-14 19:09:48 UTC

You shouldn't unpack separately: the admin distro file contains the paths and
should be unpacked as one file.  I've just tried it on a clean 5.5.16
installation on FC5 (I don't have a Debian or Slackware box right now), works
fine.

Comment 4 Dieter Ludwig 2006-04-25 16:44:19 UTC

I unpacked the admin-webapp in the new tomcat 5.5.16. Still the same failure:
the admin-webapp works fine, but there occures SEVERE-failures in catalina.out
when I login to the admin-webapp:
Apr 25, 2006 6:39:57 PM org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor processMapping
SEVERE: Invalid path /login was requested
Apr 25, 2006 6:40:02 PM org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor processMapping
SEVERE: Invalid path /frameset was requested

Comment 5 Doug Vegge 2006-04-27 17:54:38 UTC

The same error occurs with Tomcat 5.5.9.03 on HP-UX 11.11

processMapping
SEVERE: Invalid path /login was requested

Comment 6 N. Flucke 2006-04-28 11:21:35 UTC

I got the same error on Solaris Sparc 5.9 with Tomcat 5.5.17.
The admin-app works fine, but when I login, I got the same two error messages.

Comment 7 Yoav Shapira 2006-12-26 17:00:33 UTC

Updating version to 5.5.17.

Comment 8 Yoav Shapira 2007-03-25 14:03:09 UTC

Still happen with 5.5.23?

Comment 9 Mark Thomas 2007-07-17 04:27:28 UTC

This is a side-effect of how we avoid loading the app on startup. It can be
ignored but it would be nice to suppress the messages.

Yes, still its coming in 5.5.23.

Comment 12 malyadri 2008-01-10 01:34:07 UTC

Still happen with 5.5.25?

Comment 13 Mark Thomas 2009-05-24 16:59:04 UTC

The message is harmless and can be ignored. Given that the admin app discontinued after 5.5.x, I don't see the point in fixing this cosmetic issue.
