No idea here.  Have you used netstat to make sure something else isn't
already listening on that port?

Do ps -ef | grep java and see if you have any java processes running.  If you
are getting the Tomcat error 500 below, it should be there.

I think the root context is disabled by default in server.xml.  Open it up and
uncomment the context entry for root, and for /examples if you want.  Look for 
the comments that say "Tomcat Root Context" and "Tomcat Examples Context" (at least
mine does - tomcat 4.1.18.
