The standard Tomcat package from apache.org comes with an examples app
pre-installed.
The various packagers (incl. Ubuntu) mangle Tomcat in a variety of ways.
Standard advice on this list for something like your situation seems
to be is to first
download a clean Tomcat package from apache.org, and install it in
some other folder with a simple unzip.
Then see how it behaves, and make comparisons to your present install.

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.

Hello all,
I had an installation of ubuntu 8.04 that I recently upgraded to
9.10. I
barely used it before the upgrade so the system was very close to
a fresh
install of 8.04 before the upgrade.
I installed tomcat6 with apt-get. After setting everything up, I
checked
that I could access the "It works" default page from both inside
my home
network and would accept outside connections. Clicking the link
for the
manager console prompted me for a username and password, but since
I had
not
yet made changes to tomcat-users.xml, it failed as expected.
I edited the file (/etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml), uncommented the
"existing" users and added a manager role and a manager user with
that
role. Upon restarting the server, any attempt to connect to the
server
locally or externally causes the browser to "spin" as if loading a
page
but
with no results. I will sit and spin for hours if I let it (I have)
without
timing out.
I have tried various permutations of users in the file, such as
uncommenting
the original ones and not adding a manager role or user, adding
the role
to
one of the default users, etc, but the only way to get the index
page to
actually load again is to comment out all users.
Web searches of this issue have only turned up instances of people
not
realizing the users were commented out and editing the file anyway.
Also, /var/logs/tomcat6 does not contain any logs. I've used
updatedb and
locate to verify that there aren't other tomcat-users files
elsewhere.
I've
also been unable to locate an alternate log directory.
Thanks for any help the community can offer. Enjoy your weekend,
If you revert to the original installation, does the /examples app
work?
Does using the examples app generate log files in the expected
location?
