Catalina.out is usually a very long and verbose description of all
Tomcat events and happenings and it can be difficult to decipher.  I
would recommend that you stop Tomcat with an "/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat5
stop"   then go and delete your catalina.out file and then restart
Tomcat  with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat5 start"  and wait a minute or so
for Tomcat to start and blow chunks.

Take another look at the new and (now) much smaller catalina.out  file
in the logs subdirectory.  Starting from the top look for the first
error message and you should see a cascade of errors from that point on.
The first couple of errors that you see are typically the culprit of
your problems.
