I installed Tomcat 5.5 yesterday, with limited success. It took me until a few hours ago to manage to get all of the ports and such things set correctly, so that everything would run properly. I then tried to install a servlet that I created, and then restart Tomcat. It won't start. The progress bar goes until about halfway, when it disappears and the service remains stopped. I've Googled the problem, copied files around, changed environment variables, rebooted my machine, and reinstalled Tomcat with no success.
