[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.
