title: Tomcat startup script not running
body: <p>So I've followed the list of steps on : <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu-12-04" rel="nofollow">https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu-12-04</a>.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to run the startup script <code>$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh</code>, I get this message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat7<br>
    Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat7<br>
    Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat7/temp<br>
    Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/default-java<br>
    Using CLASSPATH:<br>
    /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar<br>
    touch: cannot touch `/usr/share/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out': No such file or directory<br>
    /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh: 389: /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh: cannot create   /usr/share/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out: </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What am I supposed to do to get that startup script to work?</p>
