————————分割线，我安装时出现下面的错误我记录下来了—————
[root@rhel ~]# sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
The BASEDIR environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program   //大概意思就是说我的环境变量有错误；
[root@rhel bin]# export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat6.0    //建立一个环境变量，
 [root@rhel bin]# echo $CATALINA_HOME
/usr/local/tomcat6.0
[root@rhel bin]# ./startup.sh
Cannot find /usr/local/tomcat6.0/bin/setclasspath.sh
This file is needed to run this program   //汗，，，还不行，说找不到tomcat6.0这个目录，解决给/usr/local/tomcat给建立一个符号连接
root@rhel local]# ln -s /usr/local/tomcat/tomcat6.0
[root@rhel local]# cd tomcat/bin/
[root@rhel bin]# ./startup.sh

touch: 无法触碰 “/usr/local/tomcat6.0/logs/catalina.out”: 没有那个文件或目录
/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: line 310: /usr/local/tomcat6.0/logs/catalina.out: 没有那个文件或目录
//提示无法创建/usr/local/tomcat6.0/logs/Catalina.out 这一个文件，因为没有logs这一个目录；
 [root@rhel bin]# mkdir /usr/local/tomcat6.0/logs   //给新建一个logs
[root@rhel bin]# ./startup.sh     //再试一次
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/tomcat6.0
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/tomcat6.0
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat6.0/temp

测试发现tomcat没有启动
看日志：
——————————————————
[root@rhel bin]# cat  /usr/local/tomcat6.0/logs/Catalina.out

重新下载tomcat6.0，下载非源码包的；
