You really do need to specify which Worklight edition you are using (Enterprise, Developer?).

if you choose to not-use the IBM Installation Manager and you have the Enterprise edition then you also have the Worklight Java EE .jar file.

These instructions are only for the Worklight Server for the sake of simplifying matters for now:

  1. Extact Tomcat
  2. Place the Worklight Java EE .jar file in the \lib folder
  3. Place a database connector in the \lib folder as well (this can be downloaded at the vendor website)
  4. In Worklight Studio, create your project and configure your server in worklight.properties (set the context root only). Finally, take the .war file from the \bin folder (make sure to stop the Worklight Server (right-click on the project >> stop server) so that port 8080 will be freed)
  5. Start Tomcat, go to the manager page and deploy the .war file
  6. Visit http://localhost:8080/yourContext/console

If you are using the IBM Installation Manager:

  1. Open the IM, go to preferences and enter the repository
  2. Follow the installation, set database and add its connector (as mentioned in the steps above)
  3. Choose Tomcat as your application server (when using the IM the default port is 9080 as opposed to 8080 in the other type of installation)

You are now basically done. Do the same as steps 4 to 6 for your own project. Note that the IM installs a default Worklight .war file, you may want to delete or undeploy it before putting yours. (when creating your own .war, make sure to set the port to 9080 this time).

You'll need to provide some more information, such as the steps you took to install it, url you are trying to reach, etc.

A couple of things that you may look at:

  1. Make sure you started the server.
  2. Take a look at the WL logs to make sure that side of things is running properly.
  3. Make sure you can access other apps in your Tomcat server.
  4. Make sure your worklight.properties files are set up properly.
  5. Make sure you are including the port (normally) 9080, and that you are putting the correct URL.

EDIT after question changes:

I am pretty sure your issue is the port. The standard Tomcat port is 8080, I believe WL automatically sets port 9080 (See Tomcat Default Port

I would either change the Tomcat port (How To Change Tomcat Default Port ?)

Or change the WL port, I believe this is done here: /opt/IBM/Worklight/WorklightServer/WEB-INF/classes/conf/worklight.properties

If this is the first time you'll be going into the WEB-INF folder, you'll need to open up the worklight.war file.

Also, if you are deploying on a remote server (Tomcat, Liberty, or WebSphere) you must have either the Worklight Consumer or Enterprise (paid) editions. The free Developer Edition only runs within eclipse. If you have one of the paid editions, you might want to consider getting help from the support portal: http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/overview

If you are not sure that you followed all required steps of the installation procedure, please consider reading through following documents:

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wrklight/v5r0m5/topic/com.ibm.worklight.help.doc/admin/c_installation.html

There is a whole section about deploying Worklight on Tomcat.
