I've had consistent success installing expanded war files only.
- Stop tomcat
- Upload and unzip the war file to magnoliaPublic and magnoliaAuthor
- Delete the war file
- If you are deploying to a database server and there was a previous
attempt to start tomcat, clear out the database
- Only after that, start tomcat.
Everything should work beautifully.

Hi,
Trying so many times to get Magnolia 3.6.1 working in Tomcat I end up
making a small procedure for my self to setup everything step-by-step.
Sorry if I was confusing sometimes but I really want to make my
website working and I really want to do it with Magnolia and Tomcat
which on my laptop was a very good tandem. So step by step I did:
1. Uploaded bundled war file to server.
2. Stop Tomcat.
3. Rename it magnoliaAuthor.war and magnoliaPublic.war and copy to
webapps directory of Tomcat.
4. Start Tomcat.
5. The respective directory magnoliaAuthor and magnoliaPublic are
created.
6. Stop Tomcat.
7. Delete the war files.
8. Restart Tomcat.
If I access my server address in the browser Tomcat welcome page appears.
If I access http://..../magnoliaPublic or magnoliaAuthor nothing happens.
Tomcat configuration file server.xml has only one host "localhost"
pointing to "webapps".
Log file reports error regarding:
"Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of
class info.magnolia.cms.servlets.MgnlServletContextListener"
and that is why Magnolia shutdown.
Thanks in advance for the help.
A.
