Tomcat6 manager problems after update to 11.5.30

[TheBassmanFelix]

Hi all,

after the update to Plesk version 11.5.30 tonight i have several problems with my tomcat instance.
The Deployment is done by Jenkins.

1. problem already solved: the psa-users/[domain.com].xml was reset to the empty default template. After restoring the users jenkins was able to use the tomcat manager for trying the deployment.
2. problem:
Now Jenkins is getting me following error, trying to deploy the build .war by the tomcat manager:

ERROR: Publisher hudson.plugins.deploy.DeployPublisher aborted due to exception
....
Caused by: org.codehaus.cargo.container.tomcat.internal.TomcatManagerException: FAIL - Application already exists at path /demo

If i try to deploy the war with the tomcat manager i get following exception:

SCHWERWIEGEND: HTMLManager: FAIL - Deploy Upload Failed, Exception: null

I haven changed anything in the config, so the root of the problem is 100% the update of the plesk version.

Does anybody know where i can have a look at to get the problem solved?

Thanks in advance
Felix


Problem was solved:
The undeploy of war with the manager failed. The .war in /var/lib/tomcat6/psa-webapps/ had to be deleted manually.
After resetting the chmod of /usr/share/tomcat6/psa-wars/ and /var/lib//tomcat6/psa-wars/ the deployment with jenkins was working correctly again

Is there any option to see what was changed on the filesystem exactly during the update process?
