Your tomcat-users.xml looks good.

Make sure you have the manager/ application inside your $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/

• Linux:

You have to install tomcat-admin package: sudo apt-get install tomcat8-admin (for version 8)

• Windows:

I am using Eclipse. I had to copy the manager/ folder from C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.5.20\webapps to my Eclipse workspace (~\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\webapps\).
