Please elaborate on that statement; server.xml can't set tomcat_home or
catalina_home to anything - if they exist at all, such environment variables
must be established before being used in server.xml.

I really, really hate these 3rd-party distributions that scatter files all over
the place and then attempt to put things back together with symlinks; this adds
nothing but confusion.

There's no "tomcat [sic] index file"; there can be a welcome file for each
deployed webapp, and the default webapp must be named ROOT (case sensitive).
In a standard Tomcat distribution, the default application is located in the
ROOT directory under the <Host> appBase directory; so there should be the
following under /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps:
ROOT/
index.jsp
WEB-INF/
web.xml
lib/
catalina-root.jar
Since you're running a 3rd-party Tomcat, you'll need to get support from
whoever packaged it - or install a real Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org so we can
provide better help for you.
