See more:

There is a java application which was developed in java 5. As part of upgradation we are converting this to java 8 application( to achieve this, I did an ANT build which is compatible to java 8 and created a war file). I pasted this war file to the webapps folder of tomcat 8.5 which is present in a linux 3.10 server. Tomcat was successfully started and the war files were exploded into folder. But when I am trying to access the application URL , it is displaying the Tomcat splash page. I am not able to see the application login/welcome page.

Could anyone help me on this?

What I have tried:

I tried whatever is suggested in this website : href="https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_override_the_default_home_page_loaded_by_Tomcat.3F
But no luck!

Make sure no other application using port 8080 before starting tomcat. If that's not the problem please paste tomcat log.

If you want to change tomcat's default port, go to tomcat folder and open conf folder, in which you can see server.xml. In that file you can see something like <Connector port= . Change the port value and start tomcat.
