So, the webapps directory is really /var/lig/tomcat5.5/webapps. You were trying /usr/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps before, which is why it didn't work. > But if I call then > http://www.mysite.de:8180/my_servlet I don`t see anything in the browser?? See Chuck's response: you aren't using the right URL. Give us some specifics (like the name of the WAR file and the url mapping for the servlet you're trying to invoke) and we'll try to help you make contact. > But if I copy the unpacked-sources from > /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/my_servlet > > to /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT/ I get a result by doing > > http://www.mysite.de:8180/my_servlet That's because you're re-naming your own webapp to ROOT, essentially. > Do I need "apt-get install tomcat5.5-webapps" to see a result in the > browser? No. > And what is the difference between tomcat 5.5 and tomcat5.5-webapps? tomcat5.5-webapps just includes the sample webapps that come with Tomcat, probably including the default ROOT webapp. I disagree with Chuck's complaint about this packaging: it actually looks quite sane to me: system-installed stuff goes into /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps and probably has XML context files in an appropriate location (don't ask me where!) to load those. /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps is the auto-deploy directory that mere mortals get to use (though usually /var is read-only for non-root users, so... wtf?). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkopRMsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDnNQCfWWqdfJ5MHG/9ljiiMSVusRtW dOcAnRsDkdQ6vbpaL344923rboSj1Ars =Kr6M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
