Chuck,
Thanks again for all your help with this. After following your instructions and restarting tomcat, i know see my index.html when I browse to localhost:8080. However, I still only see a 404 message when I browse to localhost:8080/uPortal. Any further suggestions?

As for the mangled ubuntu version, tomcat_home is /usr/share/
tomcat5.5, here is the directory listing

Yup, mangled - notice the soft links to files scattered all over, rather than the concise structure a real Tomcat distribution uses.

Here is the directory listing for tomcat_home/webapps
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 tomcat55 root 4096 Dec  9 00:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root     root 4096 Dec  9 00:35 ..
drwxr-xr-x 6 root     root 4096 Dec  9 00:12 uPortal

As I suspected, you're missing a default webapp (ROOT); strange behavior occurs when you omit that. All you need is a dummy webapp named ROOT (case sensitive) with a simple index.html file in it.
