[ILUG] Running Tomcat?

[Linux ilug]

Hey Lads,

I'm trying to get Tomcat to run on Suse 9.2.  I have installed JDK,
this is resident in

/usr/lib/java

and I have created an environmental variable $JAVA_HOME pointing to
the above directory.  On top of this I have installed Tomcat to

/Work/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8

and created another environmental variable &CATALINA_HOME again point
to the above directory. Now I have used the following command to start
the server:

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

which provides the following output

linux:/Work/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8 # $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /Work/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8/
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /Work/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8/
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Work/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8//temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre
linux:/Work/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8 #

Now if I go to http://127.0.0.1:8080 (Which is the default according
to documentation) I get a connection error as thought the server were
not there, meanwhile when I list Processes running I can't see any
reference to Tomcat

I can see no error messages but I have noticed it's using a different
variable for the java source.  When I changed this it does exactly the
same thing.

Any help you guys can offer me would be great
