The Ubuntu/Debian package is not configured to use startup.sh etc..
The paths for the package are heavily "customised" for the locations where the package
installs files and symlinks.
If you want to use these standard scripts, then de-install the apt package, download
Tomcat from the tomcat website, and install that one. That one installs everything under
one single directory, which is easier if you want to play around with it.
Of course then you will also have to create your own startup scripts in
/etc/init.d.
There are advantages and inconvenients to both methods of installing Tomcat, but
mix-and-match is difficult.

Tomcat appears to start correctly when I restart Ubuntu VM, in that
<ipaddr>:8080 presents me with the “It works” page.
However, when use ./startup.sh or “./catalina.sh run”, <ipaddr>:8080
presents me with a blank page. Due to the nature of my testing I need the
ability to stop/start on demand.
The /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out only shows

I did some manual configs after the install to “fix” a couple of errors
(again after searching long and hard). These fixes seemed benign; but you
never know.
Tomcat 6.0.28
- Installed via “sudo apt-get install tomcat6”
o Java ioexception on ./catalina.sh stop and start,
/usr/shared/tomcat6/conf/server.xml not found.
§ There was no conf dir, and certainly no server.xml there. I simply
created a link to the server.xml file I found in /etc/tomcat6/server.xml
o Then I got “cannot find /usr/share/tomcat6/tmp
§ Yup, I manually created it.
Ubuntu 10.10 (running inside Virtualbox 4.0.4, windows7 host)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
