Hi Joel, First off, when you try to access the server are you using port 8080, ie http://localhost:8080? 8080 is the default port in tomcat.
Second, the installation of tomcat 4.0.4 does take you back to the command line after starting up the server, so that's normal. Try this before starting the server: tail -f $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out If you've done something wrong and the server isn't starting you should get an error message there. If it is running properly it will tell you that it has been started.
