I got my copy from
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi.

I shut down the computer, then turned it on again.
Issued 
$ sudo sh /usr/local/bin/tomcat/bin/startup.sh. Bingo.
EVERYTHING is working again. I dont know why.

Can file permissions play a role here? Should *.class
file be executable (for instance, 755)? (I run Linux
(Ubuntu 7.04).)

$ ls -ld apache-tomcat-5.5.23/
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2007-08-13 19:11
apache-tomcat-5.5.23/

*.class file are owned by my user account (tuope). My
umask settings give them a '-rw-------' permission
mode by default. Should all the class files I put in
/usr/local/bin/tomcat/shared/classes, be owned by
root?

Thanks for your time!

Tuomas
