I am using Tomcat 5.0.16 under Linux Redhat9.

I am relatively new to Tomcat myself but I have found that it is eas= ier to use the "ant" command from your command line prompt to install (ie= =2E deploy) a Tomcat application.

In either case I use the command "ant dist" command to compile = my application and prepare a .WAR distribution file. Next I simply use th= e ant command line "ant install" to deploy my application,

If you want to access the Manager application via your browser you c= ould always enter a URL like the following :

&war=3Dfile:/home= /bkimelman//dist/.war">Http:/= /localhost:8080/manager/deploy?path=3D/<appname>&war=3Dfile:/home/= bkimelman/<application-directory>/dist/<appname><appversio= n>.war

It seems to me that the easier wau to go is to use Ant from your com= mand line.
