Tomcat 9 on Windows Doesn't Read web.xml from Catalina_Home\conf on Startup

Question

After installing Tomcat 9 on Windows machine, the tomcat starts without any error but it doesn't service any servlet.

Using procmon, I found out that tomcat doesn't read the web.xml from %CATALINA_HOME%\conf when it starts.

It does read other files from that location such as server.xml

Any idea?

Look in the log files (`%CATALINA_BASE%\logs\catalina.2021-03-08.log`) for any errors. — Piotr P. Karwasz, Mar 08 '21 at 09:51
Can you add the `server.xml` file? Maybe you set `autoDeploy="false"` and `deployOnStartup="false"`. — Piotr P. Karwasz, Mar 08 '21 at 11:49
autoDeploy="true" and deployOnStartup not exists Do you need me to send you other stuff? I'll send everything later — sbiras, Mar 08 '21 at 12:48

In my case it was an upgrade from an older version (uninstall and then install) and the uninstaller have probably left some leftovers.

After I completely removed all the files and reinstalled everything worked
