/etc/tomcat5.5
/var/lib/tomcat5.5
/var/log/tomcat5.5

Launch tomcat5.5 using
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start

4. Problem: Can't start tomcat5.5 in ubuntu

$ sudo chown tomcat55:nogroup catalina.out

Problem of using Tomcat Administration in Debian
Solution:Add the following to the ‘/etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/50user.policy’
// to activate the admin-interface
// http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/
// pkg-java-maintainers/2006-November/009749.html
grant codeBase “file:/usr/share/struts1.2/struts.jar” {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
7. Configure webapps
Recently when Debian upgrades
tomcat5.5, all webapps configurations are deleted, only admin and
manager apps remain in localhost configuration. This is a really
annoying behavior for Debian package update. However, Debian update did
notice that I changed tomcat-users.xml, 40webapps.policy and
50users.policy, so I had a chance to keep my old configuration.
For restoring all my webapps,
ln -s /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/anywebapp.xml
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/conf/Catalina/localhost/anywebapp.xml
