I get the following in my catalina.out:

SEVERE: Unable to create directory for deployment: /usr/share/tomcat/webapps
Sep 26, 2011 1:44:53 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig start
SEVERE: Application base [/usr/share/tomcat/webapps] for host [localhost] does
not exist or is not a directory. deployOnStartUp and autoDeploy have been set
to false to prevent deployment errors. Other errors may still occur.

The permissions are fine (root.tomcat, 775). Even with 777 - the same error. I
guess there is some check and it gets confused by the symbolic link to
/var/lib/tomcat/webapps.

I deploy using /etc/tomcat/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml; Eg.
<Context path="/" docBase="/path/to/some.war" debug="0">
</Context>

The version I use: tomcat-7.0.21-1.fc15.noarch

This used to work with 7.0.20!!

As a workaround, I removed the symbolic link and created the directory in
/usr/share/tomcat/webapps. Now everything runs fine again.
