Check the tomcat version you are currently using. The documentation is based on tomcat7 and you can startup the server (assuming tomcat7) using: "/etc/init.d/tomcat7 start".
However, the same configurations should work on tomcat8 as well but just in case you find it difficult to set it up using tomcat8, you can downgrade to tomcat7 and follow the tomcat installation steps as specified in the documentation.
