RE: Deploying .war-file in Tomcat 5.5
Thank you all very much for your help. I did now like: $ wget 'http://apache.crihan.fr/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.20/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz' $ tar xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.20.tar.gz $ cp MapFishPrintModule/print-servlet/target/print-servlet-1.1.war apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps $ cd apache-tomcat-6.0.20/bin $ ./startup.sh and all the problems are gone :-) Best regards, Kai Caldarale, Charles R wrote: From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:ch...@christopherschultz.net] Subject: Re: Deploying .war-file in Tomcat 5.5 I disagree with Chuck's complaint about this packaging: it actually looks quite sane to me: system-installed stuff goes into /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps and probably has XML context files in an appropriate location (don't ask me where!) to load those. /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps is the auto-deploy directory that mere mortals get to use (though usually /var is read-only for non-root users, so... wtf?).

RE: Deploying .war-file in Tomcat 5.5
From: Kai Behncke [mailto:kai-behn...@gmx.de] I have installed Tomcat with apt-get install tomcat5.5 tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps From which we can assume you're running on Debian, rather than one of the many other platforms on which Tomcat runs? The default webapps-deirectoy is now: /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/ Yes. So that is the directory for the default (ROOT) webapp. The directory for webapps is its parent directory. Tomcat is running and I copy a .war file in /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/ But how is this .war-file unpacked/deployed? It won't be. Copy/move it to /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps instead. I restarted Tomcat already with /etc/init.d/tomcat restart but don't get the filestructure of that war-file? That's not surprising. Put it in the right directory and try again. - Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

But if I call then http://www.mysite.de:8180/my_servlet I don`t see anything in the browser?? You need to include the name of your webapp in the URL; the webapp name is the name of your .war file. But if I copy the unpacked-sources from /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/my_servlet to /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/ I get a result by doing http://www.mysite.de:8180/my_servlet That's because you just made your webapp an extension of Tomcat's default webapp - probably not a good thing to do. If you want your webapp to be the default, delete Tomcat's default (/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT), rename your .war file to ROOT.war, and place it in /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT. You will also want to clean out Tomcat's work directory; I have no idea where the dismal Debian repackaging of Tomcat would have put that. And what is the difference between tomcat 5.5 and tomcat5.5-webapps? The Debian repackaging of Tomcat is a mess - files are scattered all over, and then symlinked back together to try to get things to run. There's no end of issues with that scheme, which is why many of us recommend throwing away that junk and installing a real Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
