Typo in my email. They’re on 8.5.36. I will upgrade them to the latest 8.5.

Might be easiest to copy/paste the tomcat-users.xml file into an email and DEFINITELY REMOVE YOUR PASSWORDS from it.

Hi,

I’ve been asked to help with an existing Tomcat install which is supporting a 
live website. When it was installed, it did not have the manager app added. We 
want to use the manager app now.

I have copied the manager folder from another Tomcat install (same version 
which is 5.5.36) and updated tomcat-users in the /conf directory but I can’t 
login to the manager gui. I give the username and password for the manager-gui 
role but it just comes back and redisplays the login prompt.

tomcat-users.xml, as far as I remember, requires restart of the server
to be taken into account. You didn't mention that you did this. Plus,
you only said "updated": By default there's no account in there, I'm
assuming that you "updated" correctly. You might want to post it here
(bar the actual password).

Plus, your version is 1 day shy of being 7 years old, with the
end-of-life being even a few more days longer in the past (30 Sep 2012)

It's about time to move on...

Olaf
