Can't access Tomcat in NetBeans

Question

I've a really big problem. I installed the new NetBeans 8.0 and by the way doing this I also changed my Tomcat to 7.0 . Also I set Tomcats tomcat-users.xml (../Tomcat 7.0/conf/tomcat-users.xml) manager role and set the name and password in Tomcat options in NetBeans.

If I'm running my project now (which was running perfectly befor, but i unfortunately deleted my old environment befor the new setup) the server start but the project is not deployed on Tomcat.

If I go to localhost:8080 Tomcat server is running. I can access Tomcat with my username and password I specified but if I try to see Tomcats Web Applications folder in NetBeans I alway recieve the error message:

"Access to Tomcat server has not been authorized. Set the correct username and password with the "manager-script" role in Tomcat customizer in the Server Manager."

It is not the first time I set up Netbeans with Tomcat but I never had this problem, if somebody have any idea how to solve this problem I would be really thankful.

Thanks in advance.

You can try to create or update tomcat-users.xml in tomcathome\\conf folder by adding manager role

<tomcat-users>
 <role rolename="admin"/>
 <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager"/>
 <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
 <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>
