Assuming that you have your Java extracted to the /opt directory, the
following works:

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0_07
export PATH=/opt/jdk1.6.0_07/bin:$PATH

Downloading Tomcat 6.0.18 from <
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi#6.0.18 > and extracting to
location of choice (in my case, my home directory).

Change directory to the Tomcat 6.0.18 bin executable directory:

cd  ~/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin

and execute the startup.sh file:

 ~/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin$   ./startup.sh

You should see similar output as below:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/jose/apache-tomcat-6.0.18
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/jose/apache-tomcat-6.0.18
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/jose/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /mnt/hda8/opt/jdk1.6.0_07

Now point your browser to http://localhost:8080 (replace localhost
with your proper hostname) and you should see the relevant Tomcat
Admin Welcome page.  Indeed, "Java Solves All."

Good luck!
