Hey Daniel, sorry it is not working out.
1) The log files are in:
/var/log/tomcat/tomcat.log (others in the directory as well.)
2) Also if you do a:
ps -ef | grep tomcat
you should see several processes that are started by the "tomcat" user. Do you see those? If you don't see those, I would re-booting the SME server and try it. I can give no good reason, but sometimes I have had trouble getting Tomcat to start clean after install. However, he comes up after a re-boot.
Give those a try, and please let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks!!!!!
