move tomcat webapp from server to localhost

We, in the organization, have a web app currently running on a server. I want to move this app to my local machine where I can customize and edit files safely. I copied the app directory, let us name it 'mproject', to my local machine and added it to the webapps folder of tomcat. However, the app did not work. Tomcat gives me this error FAIL - Application at context path [/mproject] could not be started What parameters shall I modify in order to run this app on my local tomcat?

Thanks in advance,

Check the log files in the folder logs. Tomcat has probably left a lot of details there why it couldn't start the app.

Note: Many of the files in the app will have been compiled from a source project. Try to get a copy of that and use tools to build the app from the sources instead of trying to modify the compiled result.

Note 2: You (or your company) didn't develop the web app, you're not always allowed to modify files as you like. Please check the license of the product, first, and get approval from your manager.
