Perhaps the simplest way to deploy a WAR file to Tomcat is to copy the file to Tomcat's webapps directory. Copy and paste WAR files into Tomcat's webapps directory to deploy them. Tomcat monitors this webapps directory for changes, and if it finds a new file there, it will attempt to deploy it.
Java web applications are usually packaged as WAR files for deployment. These files can be created on the command line or with an IDE, like Eclipse. After deploying the WAR file, Tomcat unpacks it and stores all the project files from the webapps directory in a new directory named after the project.
Delete that war file from webapps/ directory. Then open link http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser. Click Tomcat Manager then enter user name and password. In next page you can see one option called "WAR file to deploy". Select your war file from there and click "deploy" button.
If you want auto deployment when you copy files to webapp/ directory. Then make sure that you server.xml file contains the following values:
autoDeploy="true"
unpackWARs="true"
Just search these values in your server.xml file and edit values as shown above

In general this happens when you have 2 Tomcats. If CATALINA_HOME is referring to Tomcat-A and you are trying to run Tomcat-B from Tomcat-B/bin/startup.bat. It will run Tomcat-A. Hence your war which you are trying to deploy in Tomcat-B will not be extracted as Tomcat-A is running in actual.
