Sounds like a failed deploy. If the deploy failure is due to a configuration problem in the deployable, it should be logged to the localhost log or the cas.log file if it can get as far as initializing the Spring context. I would take some time to confirm that the war is unpacked correctly in the webapps dir and that the Tomcat manager app shows CAS deployed and started. You might try starting it from the manager if it's not started and rechecking the logs. Something should show up somewhere (localhost.log, catalina.out, cas.log) if there is an error preventing proper deployment. Marvin, Thank you for mentioning the Manager. I didn't know one existed. Now that I have the GUI manager up and running, trying to start "/cas", I get: FAIL - Application at context path /cas could not be started But at least now I get something meaningful in the catalina.out file!

Is that what it's complaining about now? I'll copy over an existing web.xml file and try it out.
