I installed tomcat 5.23 from the yum install of centos5.3 and have started tomcat on port 8080 . The http://hostname:8080 shows a blank page. In a standard Tomcat distribution, the default application is located in the ROOT directory /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps: From centos installation, this directory is empty. Please help us to bring up the apache-tomcat installation page. tomcat5.conf has the following settings CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5" JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5" CATALINA_TMPDIR="/usr/share/tomcat5/temp" JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS="/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed" I see the following in /usr/share/tomcat5 after installtion. Why is webapps folder empty?
Do a 'yum search tomcat5' to see the available packages and install any that are missing. tomcat5-webapps and tomcat5-admin-webapps are separate packages.
