Chris,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried both, but got same error page. I
will review what I did and play around more and see
if I can get it working.

Typically you would put the war file at
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world.war not
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world/hello_world.war. Tomcat will
unbundle the war file into /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/hello_world/ for
you. One other option would be to try pointing your browser at
http://localhost/hello_world/hello_world, since if Tomcat does unpack
your current war file, that's where it will be put.
