Solution 1

The command you have typed is /startup.sh, if you have to start a shell script you have to fire the command as shown below:

$ cd /home/mpatil/softwares/apache-tomcat-7.0.47/bin
$ sh startup.sh 
or 
$ ./startup.sh 

Please try that, you also have to go to your tomcat's bin-folder (by using the cd-command) to execute this shell script. In your case this is /home/mpatil/softwares/apache-tomcat-7.0.47/bin.

Solution 2

Use ./catalina.sh start to start Tomcat. Do ./catalina.sh to get the usage.

I am using apache-tomcat-6.0.36.

Solution 3

if you are a sudo user i mean if you got sudo access:

      sudo sh startup.sh 

otherwise: sh startup.sh

But things is that you have to be on the bin directory of your server like

cd /home/nanofaroque/servers/apache-tomcat-7.0.47/bin

Solution 4

cd apache-tomcat-6.0.43 ====: Go to Tomcat Directory 
sh bin/startup.sh   =====: Start the tomcat on Linux 
sh bin/shutdown.sh   ======:Shut Down the tomcat on Linux
tail -f logs/catelina.out ====: Check the logs  

Solution 5

I know this is old question, but this command helped me!

Go to your Tomcat Directory
Just type this command in your terminal:

./catalina.sh start
