As Wayne mentioned in another email check to see if the DSpace war files deflated.
In /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ you should see: dspace.war dspace-oai.war dspace <a directory > dspace-oai <a directory > If you see those 4 files and directories and Tomcat is running you should get a DSpace page at http://localhost:8080/dspace (either the normal home page, or a dspace error page).
