Hi, I'm trying to reconfigure a pre-existing dev Tomcat 8 server so folks
can use the manager GUI; so far, I just get the ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
message.

I've stripped the tomcat users file down to just:

$ cat /usr/local/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <user username="admin" password="release" roles="manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>

And the  /usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost /manager.xml is
currently:
$ pwd
/usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost
$ cat manager.xml
<Context path="/manager">

<Resources>
<PostResources className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
webAppMount="/WEB-INF/classes" base="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/manager" />
</Resources>

</Context>


Not seeing an error in catalina.out about the manager, looks like it's
deploying OK:

24-Feb-2021 12:00:56.070 INFO [localhost-startStop-1]
org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor Deploying
configuration descriptor

configuration descriptor
[/usr/local/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml] has finished in

Since it's a dev system, I've temporarily turned off the firewall and
selinux to make sure they aren't the issue.

Any thoughts?


What version of Tomcat 8?

For all recent versions of Tomcat (even 7), you'll need the following:

<tomcat-users xmlns="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml";
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml tomcat-users.xsd"
              version="1.0">
<!-- your stuff goes here -->
</tomcat-users>

. . . just my two cents
