I imagine this will be an easy one. Im very familiar with ArcGIS Server .NET edition

However have little experience with the Java edition. So I installed a fresh copy of v10 Enterprise on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, for self-development purposes.

Ran the post install by the book, and can hit the normal manager console fine. Tried hitting the REST endpoint and got a 404 which I understand is usually expected by default after a fresh install.
I dont have anything funny going on, no proxy, no separate apache using same ports.

Following the advice in this article, I get a 403 when I try and hit:

http://machine name:8399/manager/html

Anyone know why this happens, and how to rectify?

Did you accidentally leave out the name of your computer in the question? It should be: mycomputername:8399/manager/html which should bring up a login page – Herb Oct 7 '10 at 13:11
It stripped it out, because I had it in tags, edited it. So yes, I was including the host name. Thanks for spotting that. – Simon Oct 8 '10 at 0:39
Did a system restore, and then a complete fresh install and still have exact same issue. win7x64:8399/manager/html = 403 win7x64:8399/arcgis/rest = 404 – Simon Oct 15 '10 at 13:13
I suspect it could be something to do with the files in this folder C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Server10.0\java\manager\service\managerappserver\conf However, both server.xml and tomcat-users.xml look correct to me. – Simon Oct 16 '10 at 1:20

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Does http://win7x64:8399/arcgis/manager/html work? The service name is normally required.

The URL "hostname/manager/html/"; is the URL to Tomcat Manager, which isn't part of the ArcGIS webapps. – mwalker Oct 15 '10 at 17:08

Did you have the windows firewall disabled?

Disable the firewall and restart the arcgis services (ArcGIS Server Manager Service, ArcServerObjectManager)

Try again the url.
