Tomcat won't start on Mandrake

I am trying to run Tomcat 5.0.28 on mandrake 10, using Java 1.4.
Regardless if I run as a regular user or su, I get the following
message:

[root@localhost bin]# ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_05

I have never installed Tomcat on Linux, having only used it on Apple
and Windows. I am unable to find any documenation for this particular
problem and I would great appreciate any advice you can offer.

thank you for your time.

I have only installed and used Tomcat as part of Sun's Java Web Services
Developer Pack, including on Mandrake 9.1. It doesn't report that on
startup. But that doesn't look to me like an error report. Instead, it
appears to merely be echoing those facts on startup. Have you checked
to see if it's running?

So look at /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/logs/catalina.out
and see if it started. What you show are the standard messages
sent to stdout upon startup. Tomcat daemonizes itself, which
is why you return to a prompt without further ado.

Use Jetty. Same performance, easier use.
