Tomcat (v 7.0.54) itself is running fine, I can access and work with the manager-gui app. However, my main web app will simply not run. I have not modified the default server.xml or web.xml at all. WAR file (in my case, pp.war) is auto-deployed fine as well. I've read other SO threads that refer to port issues, but I'm stumped since the manager app is working OK. Exception displayed in the browser is:

EDIT:

In faces-config.xml, the version info is listed in the root node as:

<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0>

In web.xml, faces servlet config looks like this:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

Also, web.xml's root node:

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
version="2.5">

And the servlet-mapping nodes:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>PhpJavaServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.phpjavabridge</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

It seems like your app is trying to connect a URL via HttpClient, so, please check your network configuration, i.e. proxy settings, make sure your app can access internet!
