It should not make any difference where Tomcat is. By default, it
installs at /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.1x, but you can put it in /opt
or /home or anywhere else. The only thing that matters is if Tomcat is
connected by proxy throough Apache httpd, in which case it will be
accessed with some prefix in the url, like
http://www.visionwebhosting.net/servlet/[your_servet+name] (or
s/do/servlet/ if running struts) or if Tomcat is acting alone, in which
case the URL would be something like
http://www.visionwebhosting.net:8080/[your_servlet_name].
s/visionwebhosting/whatever_alias/
In either case, your WAR should be deployed at
[catalina_home]/webapps/[your_servlet_name] and should be accessible
immediately, unless vision is running some deprecated 4.x Tomcat piece
of shit that requires restarting after every deployment. In any case,
you should have access to your servlet within a "reasonable" period of
time. Of course, "reasonable" to me may be different for you. I got
disillusioned with web hosting years ago and started leasing a Comcast
digital pipe - problem solved. My httpd/tomcat (and php, perl, struts,
ibatis, hibernate, etc.) configurations are my responsibility.
Bottom line: don't put up with any crap from these guys. Find another
hosting company (preferably, one that uses JBoss or Resin, since people
using these usually know what they are doing) or, like me, do it yourself.

Subject: Re: deploy war file to linux apache ..Please help

Are you running Tomcat on Linux or just apache httpd? because the latter
isn't a servlet container,
you need to run Tomcat or some other servlet container. That's the first
thing. (actually, I think you are running
tomcat, that stacktrace is a bit of a clue)
Second, you say you put the war in /var/www/html, but it's looking for
them in /home/virtual/..../html, so no wonder it
can't find them. Normally you should put the file in
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/... ; on my Linux system,
$CATALINA_HOME is /opt/tomcat5 but ymmv.
You can try expanding the war manually, then restarting tomcat.
