I've freshly installed tomcat 8 as I need it to run as a windows service (automatically start on startup)

I've set the CATALINA_HOME and java PATHS correctly

I have set

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

yet, the problem is,

when I try to access the manager app through chrome, it goes straight to "403 Access Denied" there is no prompt for a username or password

.

I've deleted old passwords related to other versions of tomcat. I have another version of tomcat installed for development which works fine.

previous to this, the other version 8.0.33 I had installed worked fine, I just need it to run automatically upon computer startup.

thanks in advance

  • Please post your entire `tomcat-users.xml` file. Also, have you changed anything about your `manager` application's deployment from the default? – Christopher Schultz Aug 10 '16 at 03:58
