Typically you would put the war file at /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ hello_world.war not /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world/hello_world.war. Tomcat will unbundle the war file into /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello _world/ for you. One other option would be to try pointing your browser at http://localhost/hello_world/hello_world, since if Tomcat does unpack your current war file, that's where it will be put.
