Thank you for the reply. Do you mean the original installation of ubuntu or tomcat? I restored the tomcat settings back to the original state, but cannot see that an examples app is pre-installed. If it's something I need to deploy myself, I'm not sure how to do that without access to the management console.
If you meant the original 8.4 ubuntu, I was hoping to try other solutions before doing that. I'm completely willing to, as I'm not attached to anything I've done, but since it's inconvenient I would rather wait.
