This is weird (cross-posted to Tomcat and Debian Lists): Tomcat 8.5 is going to /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT

Show all headers | View raw

I've got two separate boxes, both running Debian Jessie, with both 
Tomcat 7.0.56 and Tomcat 8.5.14 installed, all of the installations via 
an apt-get from Debian's repositories.

On one of the boxes (Tomcat 8.5 installed alongside Tomcat 7 with no 
previous Tomcat 8), Tomat 8 is somehow pulling the root context from 
Tomcat 7: the Tomcat 8.5 server is going to 
/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT when it should be going to 
/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT.

On the other box (Tomcat 8.5 installed on top of Tomcat 8.0, alongside 
Tomcat 7), the Tomcat 8.5 server is correctly finding 
/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT.

On both boxes, Tomcat 8.5 is correctly finding its manager context at 
/usr/share/tomcat8-admin/manager, while Tomcat 7 finds its manager 
context at /usr/share/tomcat7-admin/manager.

The only difference is that on the box that's finding the correct root 
context, Tomcat 8.5 was installed on top of Tomcat 8.0, while on the one 
that's finding the wrong root context, it was installed without any 
previous Tomcat 8. In both cases, the installations were alongside 
existing Tomcat 7 installations.

Can anybody point me to the right haystack to find my needle?
