I had exactly the same problem back in the day,play around with your port address, tomcat uses port number 8080 by default check if any other process is using the same port number if yes then change it to some other port by modifying the configuration file,should help.

Any help would be appreciated. You might not be running Tomcat as root (which is good - you shouldn't), since the 3rd-party repackaged versions often fiddle with the start/stop scripts. Since you're not using a real Tomcat, the FAQ entry for this topic may need adjustment, but it should help: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_to_run_Tomcat_without_root_privileges.3F - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
