Tomcat 8 + JRE 8 on Debian Wheezy
 

Good day folks,

Im new to debian and was installing Tomcat 8 and JRE1.8.0 on Wheezy. When I start tomcat, I get this output. It says started but no tomcat process is displayed when I ps -ef | grep tomcat. Google is not much of help.

tomcat8@BDOULXU469:~$ ./apache-tomcat-8.0.12/bin/startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/tomcat8/apache-tomcat-8.0.12
Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/tomcat8/apache-tomcat-8.0.12
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/tomcat8/apache-tomcat-8.0.12/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/local/src/jre1.8.0
Using CLASSPATH: /home/tomcat8/apache-tomcat-8.0.12/bin/bootstrap.jar:/home/tomcat8/apache-tomcat-8.0.12/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started.
tomcat8@BDOULXU469:~$ tail -f apache-tomcat-8.0.12/logs/catalina.out

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Turns out the Tomcat package given to me was incomplete. I downloaded a new one and it worked perfectly. Noob. :)
