problem getting Tomcat5 working (log file and trace includ..

Hi, I have installed tomcat 5 on debian using "apt-get install tomcat5"
accepting all defaults. It installs fine, I setup the policy file
default, and it appears to work. Tomcat starts. Tomcat stops. I don't
know why it stops. There is nothing in the logs I am looking in (but
I've include it below anyway). So where should I look now and what
should I do?

Below is a log of me manually starting tomcat5, seeing it is working
with /etc/init.d/tomcat5 status, then it stops a few seconds after it
starts, and I display the log file. My machine is called john.one.co.uk
and I am executing this script as root.

There seems to be a bit of info about using Tomcat 5 on debian I found
in Google but I see more or less the same thing with Tomcat 4. So,
what's up or any ideas most welcome even if you're using Windows or
other flavours of linux. Or if there are other logs I should be
reviewing etc.
Thanks in advance
Barry

Due to new licensing guidelines mandated by the Apache Software
Foundation Board of Directors, a JMX implementation can no longer
be distributed with the Apache Tomcat binaries. As a result, you
must download a JMX 1.2 implementation (such as the Sun Reference
Implementation) and copy the JAR containing the API and
implementation of the JMX specification to:
${catalina.home}/bin/jmx.jar
