title: tomcat: startup.sh doesn't deploy war file
body: <p>I put the war file under /webapps directory, and as I start tomcat by running <code>./startup.sh</code>, the war file is not deployed, but tomcat is successfully started as the tomcat start page can be seen.</p>
  
  <p>Why doesn't the war file get deployed?</p>
