Please help me in setting apache-tomcat-6.0.20 on linux. When I use the code

sh startup.sh

I see this.

Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/apinder/apache-tomcat-6.0.20-src
Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/apinder/apache-tomcat-6.0.20-src
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/apinder/apache-tomcat-6.0.20-src/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_14/

No error message is shown here, but if I open http://localhost:8080/ tomcat default page doesn't open. I haven't changed any setting.

If I try to shutdown tomcat using shutdown.sh I see this

Someone please help.

Which download did you use? Binary or Source distribution? (There been some complains about source distr. like this one)

I downloaded source (apache-tomcat-6.0.20-src)
logging.properties file is there.
