I started having a similar problem yesterday and discovered that somehow my web.xml file had been deleted (not sure how), so I replaced it.
Make sure you have that in your manager folder in WEB-INF. -----Original Message----- From: Luís de Sousa [mailto:luis.a.de.so...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 12:15 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Can't login to Tomcat manager pages Dear all, Tomcat 6.0.20 on Ubuntu 9.10. I can't login to the manager pages (http://localhost:8080/manager/html). I set a new user and a few roles in the /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml file, restarted Tomcat but can't possibly login. I browsed through a number of threads with similar issues but couldn't solve it so far. Note that I uncommented the users section in the file, it is reproduced below.
