I have used MacPorts to install tomcat 6 for use with launchctl.
launchctl start org.apache.tomcat provides the following result in Catalina.date.out:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/host-manager.xml (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) and so on

Lo and behold, there is no folder called Catalina in conf.

I don’t know if this is responsible for the applications not being deployed or not, but I felt that since it’s a severe issue it should be noted.

Then comes SEVERE: Error deploying web application directory manager
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml (No such file or directory)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)

and for each of the folders in the webapps folder, I get

The scratchDir you specified: /opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/examples is unusable.

I have been googling this for some time now, but I have not yet stumbled across an answer.

    The issue was to do with Tomcat from Macports and permissions.
    My end solution was to install and configure tomcat manually.
