title: tomcat wont start up on linux machine
body: <p>I'm new to Linux but having spent a whole day I Installed Java and Tomcat. My goal is to host an App with this Linux box. I know it all works fine from my windows based machine, but it is my laptop so I'm planning to use the Linux Box as my dedicated server.</p>
  
  <p>Following many many forums I've now got Tomcat 7 installed. However i cannot get it to start.</p>
  
  <p>Changing to the tomcat directory and "./startup.sh" i get the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat
  Using CATALINA_HOME:  /usr/local/tomcat
  Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp
  Using JRE_HOME: usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
  Using CLASSPATH: /usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That's the end of the output.</p>
  
  <p>However localhost:8080 is not up, and in the tomcat log file is the error "eval: 1: usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun//bin/java: not found"</p>
  
  <p>Hopefully there is some expert here who can help me with this problem. Please note that I'm a novice when it comes to Linux.</p>
  
  <p>PS: My Linux version is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx</p>
