I ran dpkg -l tomcat 7 | grep webapp
to find the directory where to place my WAR file.
When I dumped my ROOT.war to this directory, the corresponding ROOT directory was populated (exploded is the term, I think).
Then, I restarted (stop, then start) tomcat.
However, I navigated to localhost on port 8080, but I had the same default Apache homepage.
Please advise.

Generally, absent any other configuration, it would be
http://localhost:8080/NAMEOFYOURWEBAPP
