Set the correct username and password with the “manager-script” role in the Tomcat

Question

I know this has been asked many before. But I have already placed my user to role \"manager-script\".

I keep getting this when trying to deploy:

Answer 1

For those using tomcat 7.0.72 still having the same issue. do the following

1. after setting users with manager-script in the tomcat-users.xml

2. goto C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1 and edit "tomcat70.properties" by adding the following if not included

tomcat.home=C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 7.0
tomcat.url=http://localhost:8080
tomcat.username=manager
tomcat.password=tomcat

Note: change the username and password as above to the username and password you set in the tomcat-users.xml in c:\Program Files\apache...\

3. Remove the server in Netbeans

4. Add the tomcat server in Netbeans again and set the username and password as those in tomcat-users.xml

5. exit both tomcat server and Netbeans

6. restart your PC and start tomcat server

7. Run Netbeans as administrator.

These should work.
