sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart

Check that the webapp has loaded properly by browsing to http://webserver.example.edu/variations-ws-server/metadata/145587where webserver.example.edu is replaced by the fully-qualified domain name of your Variations web server.

Note that the first time you try this URL, you may have to accept a security certificate and enter the user name and password you specified with the wsconsumer role in ~tomcat/etc/conftomcat6/tomcat-users.xml. The URL should return an xml document with metadata for a recording (you may have to view the page source to see the full document depending on how your browser displays xml).
