liferay - Nothing happens when I tried to run liferay 6.1.1. on a existing Tomcat 7 server

Question

Any help will be welcome.

I followed this tutorial steps, trying to run liferay 6.1.1. on a existing tomcat, but nothing happens when I launch tomcat server.

Server's log message (see), seems to be normal, but every tomcat default app is loaded, except liferay's war file. When I hit localhost:8080/, all I receive is a nice 404 status!

//Tomcat logs:

Any idea about what might be happening? Or, where I can start?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Solved!

If anyone faced this same problem, just change the name of the .war to ROOT.war, and put it under webapps/ directory, it will work fine!

And If you are following the steps from Liferay site, as I did. At some point the tutorial will tell you to create a ROOT.xml, when you do that, just add the Context parent node, which, until the moment I wrote this, was not mentioned in the tutorial example's snippet.

My ROOT.xml:

[Cesars-Computer: apache-tomcat-7.0.32] $ cd conf/Catalina/localhost/
[Cesars-Computer: localhost] $ cat ROOT.xml 
<Context path="" crossContext="true">

</Context>

Thanks and success to everyone,
