What could be the reason for war files not exploding?

War files and not exploding after deploying them to webapps folder.

We are using tomcat 7, below is the process which I followed.

  1. stopped the tomcat service
  2. deployed the war file
  3. started the tomcat service

I have set auto deploy and unpackwars to "True"

below is the server.xml file:

  <Host name="x.x.x.x"  appBase="/var/lib/dweb13s2/webapps"
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

    <!-- SingleSignOn valve, share authentication between web applications
         Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html -->
    <!--
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn" />
    -->

    <!-- Access log processes all example.
         Documentation at: /docs/config/valve.html
         Note: The pattern used is equivalent to using pattern="common" -->
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"
           prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt"
           pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />

  </Host>

Could you please share the configuration in server.xml ? – Mickael

Check the documentation RemoveUnpackWARs. Maybe you have not removed the previous directory structure.

If unpackWARs=true and a WAR is updated while Tomcat is stopped, Tomcat will not realise that the unpacked directory structure is from an older version of the WAR and will continue to use it.
