1. You are still accessing the old box? A proxy that forwards requests
to the old box, instead of a new one?

An /etc/hosts file (e.g. on client PC) or a DNS that resolves your
host name to IP address of the old box?

A MiM?

2. An old instance of Tomcat still running (e.g. started automatically
at boot time),
and  the new one is not visible because either

a) a connector failed to start because "port is already used".

A clash of shutdown ports is fatal, but a failure of a single
connector does not prevent Tomcat from stating, unless you explicitly
configure it to not ignore such errors (see System Props page in
Configuration Reference).  You should see messages in the log files in
this case.

b) it listens on a different network interface

A different file? E.g. typo in a configuration, so a default file path is used.

A file was replaced but application still accesses the old file,
because it has a open file handle to it?

You are using an APR connector, but are examining a Java keystore ?

Call it a "fool-proof" one :)
