I know this question has been asked a lot but I am facing some problems. When I upload a war file to tomcat I cant get to to start and i get this error

FAIL - Application at context path [/fuseki] could not be started

I then have tried to remove tomcat 9 so I can install tomcat 8 but I cant follow the instructions given on other threads because when I run 

dpkg -l|grep tomcat

returns nothing.

sudo apt-get remove tomcat

returns

Package 'tomcat9' is not installed, so not removed

root@ubuntu:~# sudo apt-get remove tomcat

E: Unable to locate package tomcat

running the same but with tomcat9 instead of just tomcat returns

The server however is up and running and I can connect via the browser to the UI but I cant get to get a war file started.

Since tomcat has been installed by unpacking a tar.gz file to /opt/tomcat, the uninstall process will be to remove /opt/tomcat.

cd /opt
sudo rm -rf tomcat
