Perhaps manager app does not exist look if you the manager application is on  APACHE HOME server webapps directory  on this directory you must have   docs examples  host-manager manager  ROOT

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

Notice that the http code response status you are getting is an HTTP 404  The 404 or Not Found error message is a response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with a given server  but the server could not find what was requested   If you have got an 403 Forbidden vs 401 Unauthorized HTTP responses then it might  make a sense to review your tomcat-users xml   Resuming  check the manager resources and files of your server installation  some file directory might be missing  or the path to the manager resources has been changed

If you are running tomcat from eclipse  probably problem exists with another IDEs   it could have a different configuration- not based on files    The solution is to edit tomcat users file  as you wrote  and then start tomcat from command prompt with    tomcat-directory  bin startup
