Sorry, running tomcat6-instance-create as root, solved the issue. But I
believe, it should have displayed an error that I need to run the server
as root in order to bind to a port less than 1024, rather than stupidly
say "server started".

Binary package hint: tomcat6
On specifying any value less than 1024 for the -c option of
tomcat6-instance-create, the server instance does not work as expected. It gets
configured and gets started, but pages won't load in the browser.
For example, on running
- $tomcat6-instance-create -c 1001 -p 8001 ~/my_tomcat
+ $tomcat6-instance-create -c 1001 -p 8001 ~/my_tomcat
- It configures the instance properly, with the specified port values also
appearing in ~/my_tomcat/conf/server.xml . The server also starts successfully.
But, I cannot access http://localhost:8001/
- On opening it, in the browser, the browser simply says "Page not found" .

There is no problem in shutting down the server. This behaviour is
occuring for any values less than 1024 for the control port.
And, on specifying a value greater than 1024 for -c , it does not cause
any such problems.
I have following configuration:
Ubuntu 10.10
tomcat6-user 6.0.28-2ubuntu1.1
tomcat6 6.0.28-2ubuntu1.1
Architecture: x86
