Tomcat 7 Manager can't login

Question

Trying to log in but can\'t. My tomcat-users.xml, modified as I saw it here.

Answer 1

Check the permissions and ownership on the file '/etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml'. It should owned by root and group ownership should be tomcat7.

-rw-r----- 1 root tomcat7 2101 Jan 22 10:34 tomcat-users.xml

This is on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, YMMV
