Adding the manager app to an existing installation
Hi,
I’ve been asked to help with an existing Tomcat install which is supporting a live website. When it was installed, it did not have the manager app added. We want to use the manager app now.
I have copied the manager folder from another Tomcat install (same version which is 5.5.36) and updated tomcat-users in the /conf directory but I can’t login to the manager gui. I give the username and password for the manager-gui role but it just comes back and redisplays the login prompt.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
Thanks for your help
Tom

Hello Tom,
Hard to say what´s happening without some realm logging. You can have a
look here [1].
Hope it helps,
Luis

Might be easiest to copy/paste the tomcat-users.xml file into an email
and DEFINITELY REMOVE YOUR PASSWORDS from it.

Thanks Olaf,
Typo in my email. They’re on 8.5.36. I will upgrade them to the latest 8.5.

tomcat-users.xml, as far as I remember, requires restart of the server
to be taken into account. You didn't mention that you did this. Plus,
you only said "updated": By default there's no account in there, I'm
assuming that you "updated" correctly. You might want to post it here
(bar the actual password).
Plus, your version is 1 day shy of being 7 years old, with the
end-of-life being even a few more days longer in the past (30 Sep 2012)

It's about time to move on...
