You have no idea how much time I spent trying to figure this out. Makes me happy to know I may have saved some people the frustration I went through.

I am on tomcat 9 and this did not work. should I just update to 10?

[@gcfranco17]

works wonders thank you! would you be able to explain why does it have to go under opt directory. New to linux

[@cameronmcnz]

I'd need someone to explain that tome!

[@walsayer]

Worked like a charm. Thanks. My problem is that I was trying to find the RemoteAddrValue in the main context.xml, also there are two places for webapps context.xml, one in host-manager and the other in manager. Thanks again.

For some reason setting up the Tomcat Manager is a lot more problem sought than it should be. Thanks for watching!

CANNOT ACCESS MANAGER APP :(

[@cameronmcnz]

Which version of Tomcat are you using? What's your OS/environment? I had a horrible time trying to access it with older versions. This process with Tomcat 10 has always worked for me. Maybe we can troubleshoot?

[@cameronmcnz]

Which part was that? Honestly, a lot of people are having a hard time setting this up, and I know this video doesn't fix everyone's issue. What was the part that wasn't clear?

[@michaelgreatorex2340]

@@cameronmcnz whole video was spot on 👌 I just deleted the at the end of the xml file when I was inputting the credentials without realising. This then meant that none of the new credentials we added were recognised until I went back into the xml and put back in! Oh the amount of times I’ve got stuck on stupid things like this…. What a great video however 🌟
