I have a war that I want to deploy manually. I put my war in webapps and from the bin folder I started sh startup.sh Tomcat started with the following message:

 $ sh startup.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /Users/pavel/GitHub/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26 Using CATALINA_HOME: /Users/pavel/GitHub/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Users/pavel/GitHub/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26/temp Using JRE_HOME: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_101.jdk/Contents/Home Using CLASSPATH: /Users/pavel/GitHub/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26/bin/bootstrap.jar:/Users/pavel/GitHub/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.0.M26/bin/tomcat-juli.jar Tomcat started.

And on http://localhost:8080/ I open tomcat myself, and a folder with the same name as war appeared in the webapps , but according to the address of the servlet, nothing called war-nick opens.

What is needed to make Tomcat launch my war archive? Doesn't tomcat automatically scan webapps and run something that lies there?

    You did everything right. View the files in the {tomcat} / logs: catalina.out directory and localhost. [Data] .log. There most likely indicated an error when starting the WAR file.

      The easiest way: delete the contents of the \ webapps \ ROOT folder, and then unpack the contents of your web application ( war ) into the \ webapps \ ROOT folder. For convenience, you can configure in the development environment the assembly of the application directly to the \ webapps \ ROOT folder.
