Tomcat 6 configuration example for Ubuntu Linux?
- by intargc
I'm very new to Tomcat and I'm having some issues figuring out how to set it up. I set it up on Ubuntu Linux and started reading and trying to follow the information given on the apache website here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/deployer-howto.html
Apparently I'm missing something. I have a WAR named MyWebapp.war and it's in a directory /home/mywebapp. In /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/MyWebapp.xml, I have the following line:
<Context path="/MyWebapp" docBase="/home/mywebapp" antiResourceLocking="false" />
Everything else is the default configuration that came with tomcat6 via the Ubuntu package. When I restart Tomcat and try to go to http://localhost:8080/MyWebapp, I get a 404. The WAR file isn't unpacked and nothing seems to be working.
I'm going to be deploying two Grails applications on this server with Tomcat.
Is there a more straight forward way to do this?
