That worked. I moved sample.war to /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps and now
localhost:8180/sample takes me to a valid page:
Sample "Hello, World" Application and I see that the sample subdirectory has
been unpacked there. I also was starting to not like tomcat because of all
of the symlinks and lack of valid documentation (for ubuntu). I still have
the problem of not knowing why the manager webapp isn't in the ubuntu
installation.

William
