I am trying to put a war file on my VPS. However it is missing the webapps folder.
Tomcat 7 is there but I am scratching my head on where the webapps folder is.
This is my first attempt on deploying a war file on a server, I have only done it on my local.
When I find the webapps, how do I link it to a domain?
Lets say I have a site called www.foo.com and a war file called software.war. How can I link the war file to the domain?
There's the concept of CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE for tomcat installations. You're obviously on some unix machine and I imagine that tomcat has been installed from that distribution.
Assuming you're running Ubuntu, check this documentation on where to find the directories you're looking for. They're typically spread to blend into the unix way to look at directories, e.g. configuration in /etc. Odds are that you'll find it in /var/lib/tomcat7, but it might also be elsewhere, depending on your distribution.
Alternatively, run find / -name webapps to search for a directory anywhere in the filesystem (under the root folder).
