title: Nothing happens when I tried to run liferay 6.1.1. on a existing Tomcat 7 server
body: <p>Any help will be welcome.</p>
  <p>I followed this <a href="http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/user-guide/-/ai/lp-6-1-ugen11-installing-liferay-on-tomcat-7-0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> steps, trying to run liferay 6.1.1. on a existing tomcat, but nothing happens when I launch tomcat server.</p>
  <p>Server's log message (see), seems to be normal, but every tomcat default app is loaded, except liferay's war file. When I hit localhost:8080/, all I receive is a nice 404 status!</p>
