I apologize for responding to my own post, but I saw this in
/var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out on the not-working machine:

"Aug 17, 2005 1:49:22 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWARs
WARNING: Exception while expanding web application archive sshwebproxy.war"

Does anyone know how I can increase Tomcat's logging level so it will
throw more detailed information into the log file?
