The role for deploying on /manager/text is "manager-script" and the Apache Tomcat Manager How-To indicates it shouldn't be applied to a user with the manager-gui role. I use a deployment user with only the manager-script role and no others, and that uploads the WAR file fine without the broken pipe message. If I add the manager-gui role to my deployment user, I get the broken pipe message you encounter. Try changing your tomcat-users.xml to limit Cliff's role to the single manager-script role. Hope it helps.

Same error: Failed to execute goal org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.1:deploy (default-cli) on project cliff: Cannot invoke Tomcat manager: Broken pipe – dbl001 Sep 01 '15 at 08:37
Great thanks for this explanation. It was hard to find that deployer users should have only manager-script. No need maven settings.xml and all other things. just need config tomcat7-maven-plugin with username and password. – JL M May 15 '23 at 13:35

When I set in the ~/.m2/settings.xml,it does not work. So I set in the pom.xml,like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${tomcat7-maven-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
        <server>tomcat</server>
        <username>admin1</username>
        <password>admin1</password>
        <path>/${project.artifactId}</path>
        <update>true</update>
     </configuration>
</plugin>

And in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml file, in <tomcat-users> element, add as follows:

<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin1" password="admin1" roles="manager-script"/>

Then it works for me. :)

The message might not entirely be clear if you already have an web application deployed. You can also add true to the configuration to allow deployment to update your existing webapplication. — Ronnie, Oct 05 '16 at 14:09

You may need to add this

<configuration>
   ..
   <update>true</update>
   ..
</configuration>

to your pom.xml file to run

mvn tomcat7:deploy

I got this error when running mvn tomcat7:deploy instead of mvn tomcat7:redeploy.

May be you should check the webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml file to ensure your .war file is smaller than the configured value.

  <max-file-size>152428800</max-file-size>
  <max-request-size>152428800</max-request-size>

If you're running CentOS, you may need to install additional management libraries:

yum install tomcat-webapps tomcat-admin-webapps

On other platforms solution may be similar.

On Ubuntu the extra package with the manager webapp is called tomcat6-admin, tomcat7-admin and so on per tomcat version. – Søren Boisen May 23 '18 at 08:30

I haven't been able to use the mvn redeploy shortcut since I merged in the code that split it into a few mvn modules. I recommend copying the .war file from webapp/target to the tomcat webapps dir on your computer/server.

Ok. What about changing the roles? As per Mark Hattrup's answer? Change the role back to the original? – dbl001 Sep 01 '15 at 18:30
his suggestion is good - I'm not a tomcat expert so it does sound like "manager-script" is the correct role to use for a script to upload a war via the admin control panel. I'll update my code locally and see if it lets me upload again (however I remember thinking it was more of an mvn-library problem). – Rahul Bhargava Sep 03 '15 at 13:54

if you already have the same application deploy on the tomcat server you need to undeploy it first. If you deploy it again it can give your the connection error.
