Ah, some problems are arising because, I suppose, the startup process wants to 
create or touch something in ../logs and that's now all the way over in 
/var/lib/tomcat8. How do I move on from here?

    I see it now in /usr/share/tomcat8/bin, thank you! Can I just run 
startup.sh from there or is that not right?

        On a Debian Linux system, tomcat 8 installed via the standard Debian 
package manager 
        results in some files appearing in the following directories (and maybe 
others)
        - /etc/tomcat8
        - /usr/share/tomcat8
        - /var/lib/tomcat8
        - /var/log/tomcat8
        - .. ?
        Some of the entries in these directories are links pointing somewhere 
else. It is 
        sometimes a bit difficult to follow. But it works, and it allows tomcat 
to be managed 
        using the Debian usual commands for starting/stopping services, install 
updates etc..
        
        Use this command to see a full list of the directories/files used :
        dpkg --listfiles tomcat8
        
        (Note : this gives a list of directories/files initially reated or 
installed by the 
        standard Debian tomcat8 package. But it does not include anything 
created/installed later 
        on maybe to "customise" tomcat8 on that machine).

When I navigate to the /var/lib/tomcat8 folder, I don’t see a ./bin folder or 
any startup.sh or similar. Is this something that has changed from Tomcat 7 to 
Tomcat 8, or does this imply that it was not installed completely/correctly?
