There were a few missing files in my $CATALINA_HOME/lib. I copied them over, but it didn't solve the problem. Still though, it's likely I might have run into issues there eventually anyway.
That said, I did copy the web.xml file from my Fedora 3.2 install into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/fedora/WEB-INF for Fedora 3.3, and this time Fedora started up fine. I verified the version number by checking http://localhost:8080/fedora/admin, and it is, indeed, now running 3.3. Prior to copying over the old web.xml, I did modify my logging settings but never saw anything new. That said, I hadn't installed all the extras yet, so it could be if I kept up with it, new data would have come through eventually. -----Original Message----- From: Gottwig, Jeremy M.

Things to verify: 1) Any differences between your $CATALINA_HOME/lib and the Fedora-bundled Tomcat lib directory? 2) Does turning up Tomcat's logging generate some more information? (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/logging.html) Did you enable FeSL as part of the Fedora install? If you did, this would make some filter and filter-mapping changes in Fedora's web.xml and you'd certainly have errors on startup if you don' t have dbxml installed, the DBXML_HOME environment variable set and updated LD_LIBRARY_PATH (as noted in the FeSL docs). If none of the above help/apply just to rule that it's the changes I made to the web.xml in Fedora 3.3, you could try swapping in your web.xml from your 3.2 installation if you still have that available and restart Tomcat.
