# ls -la /usr/local/tomcat/logs
-rw-r–r–  1 root root     65607 Nov 6 14:55 catalina.out.2007-11-06
2.   browse ww2.freelinuxtutorials.com and login using test account to see if tomcat is working
FALLBACK
1.   copy original Catalina.sh file to the location
2.   cp /root/catalina.sh /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.20/bin/
