I was using a specific walk through to install Tomcat and everything that's
needed with it.
I downloaded the installer from tomcat to the /tmp file and then extracted
it and installed it to the /opt/tomcat dir.
Which I had to make the directory. Should I just start over with a
different guide?

Thanks
