borrowed fro orielly top ten tips for tomcat

If you have a WAR file, you can deploy it by simply copying the WAR file into the directory CATALINA_BASE/webapps. The filename must end with an extension of ".war". Once Tomcat notices the file, it will (by default) unpack it into a subdirectory with the base name of the WAR file. It will then create a context in memory, just as though you had created one by editing Tomcat's server.xml file. However, any necessary defaults will be obtained from the DefaultContext element in Tomcat's server.xml filel

If that does not work maybe your server.xml does not have the defaults.

It doesn't deploy the .war file when I use the tomcat server included in alfresco community pack, but when I put this war in my default tomcat installation (/usr/share/tomcat), it is deployed but when I enter to my the address http://server:8180/alfresco it answers that the resource is not available. I've other applications installed in tomcat and I haven't any problem.

I've checked server.xml, created database, and checked the mysql connector .jar.
