Problem starting Tomcat

Hi -

I've just installed the binary distribution of Tomcat v4.0.3 on Tru64
Unix v4.0F, but am unable to get it to start.

I've got the following Compaq Java subsets installed:
JAVA121
JAVADEV121
JAVADOC121
JAVA118
JAVADEV118
JAVADOC118

java -version
shows that version 1.2.1 is the default java.

I have dowloaded the Tomcat 4.0.3 binary distribution into a directory
/exports/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3

I have set the following environment variables (on the fly, in my
cshell environment)
JAVA_HOME=/usr/opt/java121
CATALINA_HOME=/exports/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3

Then
cd /exports/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/bin
./startup.sh

and I see the following "Using..." messages
Using CATALINA_BASE: /exports/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3
Using CATALINA_HOME: /exports/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /exports/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/opt/java121

but no (extra) java processes are started, and the log file shows this
"usage..." message
usage: java org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina [ -config {pathname} ]
[ -debug ] [ -nonaming ] { start | stop }

I've manually created the temporary directory listed above, but that
made no difference.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

Thanks

Richard
