You want to symlink the catalina.sh start up file, and use that to start
catalina. I do not use the startup.sh file. So try that.

First of, go into the dir that Tomcat is installed, and go into it's bin
dir and try to start it from there.

After you create the java.sh file in the /etc/profile.d you will need to
log out and log back in. Otherwise it will not set up the env for you.

Let me know how that goes.

Also two reasons why I put it in /opt. 

1 so it does not take up space on the root FS.

2 so I can easily backup the entire /opt dir if I need to move the stuff
to a new server.

But it can be anywhere

I do not think that is the problem, but could be?
