Quickly, before the "official tomcat" brigade arrives : try dropping
your war file in /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps instead.
I don't know yet why that is exactly, but I'm working on it ;-)
The packagers of Tomcat 5.5 for various Linux distributions seem to have
done a good job at spreading Tomcat and webapps all over the place, and
covering up their tracks with a zillion clever symlinks.
They probably had their reasons, but it makes it quite difficult to
figure out what is happening.
An alternative is to wait a couple more hours, until the first
suggestion to de-install your Tomcat package and install the Tomcat from
the official Tomcat site arrives.

I use fedora rather than ubuntu myself so the details may differ but the
manager webapp may well be in a seperate package that may not be installed

in tomcat<version>-admin-webapps.
The automatic deployment of wars depends on you setting autoDeploy to true
which can be done in server.xml. Check the tomcat documentation for how to
do that.
Hope it helps.

Synaptic only shows:
tomcat5.5-admin
tomcat5.5-webapps
and both are installed.
I edited /etc/tomcat5.5/server.xml and added this line: autoDeploy="true"
int the <host></host> section. I then restarted tomcat and apache2 and tried
going to localhost:8180/sample. Still getting a 404 error.
thanks,
William
