      This is an issue with TomCat. From what I remember TomCat has a function called manager that conflicts with the MODx manager. You would need to rename the MODx manager (and change many many links in the code). In the 0.9.7 release you will be able to rename the manager dir, but for now it needs to be done by editing the include requests throughout the entire application. Do a search for renaming manager, there have been some discussions on this.

        The easiest way to deal with this situation currently is to re-install MODx in a subdirectory, then use .htaccess to rewrite the URL.
