Don't need to set CATALINA_BASE or CATALINA_TMPDIR; unless you know the exact
reason you're setting it, it's best left unset.  All you need is CATALINA_HOME
and JAVA_HOME and these need to point to the top level directory where Tomcat4
and J2SE are installed, respectively.  On my machine, for example, it's
/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 and /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03

Long story short: classloader is unable to locate
org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina class (usually contained in
$CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/catalina.jar).  Did you change the directory
structure of the Tomcat installation?  Are you using default start/stop scripts?

What exactly do you mean by that?
