I've had to configure two tomcat servers recently. I've setup one tomcat
server using using version 8.5.13 and that works fine. I can access Server
Status, Manager App and Host Manager web interfaces with no problem.
But when I tried setting up a new tomcat server running tomcat version
8.5.14 by copying the same configs from the from the 8.5.13 server I'd
built I get access denied 403 on the Server Status and Manager app. But
oddly only the Host Manager web interface works correctly. I can access
that.
I need to figure out why the same configs that work on the first server,
give me 403 denied on the second server.
This is what I have on each:
Working server Java:
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)
Non working server have a newer java:
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)
Everything else is identical in terms of configuration.
Both have java and tomcat variables setup in /etc/profile:
JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm'
CATALINA_HOME='/usr/local/tomcat'
export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE HISTCONTROL JAVA_HOME
CATALINA_HOME
Both servers have the same config files, copied from the 1st working server
to the 2nd non working server.
Tomcat users config:
cat /usr/local/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml
<tomcat-users>
<user username="admin" password="not_saying"
roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>
The context configuration file has this:
cat /usr/local/tomcat/conf/context.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Why is tomcat server 1 (version 8.5.13) working and the newer tomcat
version (8.5.14) on server 2 not working?
Thanks in advance!
