There is a stale .pid file for tomcat6.
As root run the following to find .pid files
find /var -iname '*.pid'

Don't have any experience with Tomcat but suggest that:
If tomcat configuration has log settings then change them to log tomcat
into a separate file e.g. /var/log/tomcat.log and /var/log/tomcat.err.
Look at what is logged in the .err file, usually there is enough info on
what is wrong with your setup.
For Apache the above strategy works for me.
