[root at localhost ~]# java -version
java version "1.6.0"
OpenJDK  Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode)

I do have a /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps but it does not has the ROOT folder

[root at localhost webapps]# ls -la
total 16
drwxrwxr-x 2 root tomcat 4096 Jul 28 05:24 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root   4096 Aug 26 04:17 ..

Since there isn't a ROOT folder, I guess I cannot access to admin
or the manager site. But how come I don't have the ROOT folder and I am
unable
to locate it anywhere.
