Uploading WAR files

[Sacha]

I'm having a hard time deploying *any* web application in the Tomcat container.
According to my plesk gui I am able to start and stop the tomcat server.
I am also able to upload war files which are then placed in the list of tomcat applications.
So far so good except for the orange exclamation mark with the message:

"Actual status of the application does not correspond to the status retrieved from the database".

When I try to call a page from the application I get no response when I use: "www.domain.com/app/myjsp.jsp" my browser reacts differently than calling the page: "www.domain.com/appthatdoesntexist/myjsp.jsp".

So the deployment gets as far as creating a folder but somehow the applications don't get installed. I have only uploaded well tested and simple applications which run on my local server without problems.

Any help is appreciated as my hosting provider told me I had to find my answer in this forum. Having read threads about similar problems did not help me...

I'm dealing with the same issue actually.

If you get your mark in front of your app green, you can click an the given Name of your project and the you will see, the real link to tomcat5 and your app is:

http://<yourURL>:8090/<projectname>/<project>.jsp

I cann't get the mark green, because my java version (1.5.0_10) is not compatible with tomcat5.0. Installing tomcat5.5 my fix it, but plesk doesn't support that :-(

But I will try it

I used the following to test TomCat on a domain, as it is a simple program to setup and I know it works.

VeryQuickyWiki

Also, the plesk KB has some information about downloading the example files and then re-uploading them as .war files. I think you need shell access to do that, though.

Thanks for replying.

I'm still dealing with the same issue. I found out the hosting company uses plesk 8.0.1 with Tomcat 5.0. They tell me there are two versions of jdk installed 1.4 and 5, they say they dont know which one is used with tomcat.

I tried installing the VeryQuickyWicky but unfortunatly it gives me the same result. I have uploaded .war files compiled with 1.4 and 5. No result either. I have tried so many things and never have I seen a green symbol in front of *any* application.

I dont have ssh access so cant read the tomcat logs.

After you've enabled TomCat within the Plesk interface, can you go to the main admin page at

http://www.yourdomain.com:8080/

If not, then your hosting company has something setup incorrectly, or, at least, different than the default and you should probably talk to them again.

Good luck.
