I've installed Tomcat on Centos7, on Google Cloud. Tomcat works but I can't access the Tomcat manager page.

By default, no user is included in the "manager-gui" role required
to operate the "/manager/html" web application. If you wish to use this app,
you must define such a user - the username and password are arbitrary.
Built-in Tomcat manager roles:
- manager-gui - allows access to the HTML GUI and the status pages
- manager-script - allows access to the HTTP API and the status pages
- manager-jmx - allows access to the JMX proxy and the status pages
- manager-status - allows access to the status pages only
The users below are wrapped in a comment and are therefore ignored. If you
wish to configure one or more of these users for use with the manager web
application, do not forget to remove the <!.. ..> that surrounds them. You
will also need to set the passwords to something appropriate.
-->
<!--
<user username="admin" password="<must-be-changed>" roles="manager-gui"/>
<user username="robot" password="<must-be-changed>" roles="manager-script"/>

Try to comment penultimate line. Just put "-->" 2 lines lower.
If you have configured any realms in tomcat/conf/server.xml, try without them. Good luck!
