Probably not a good place for this question.

Does the server output any logs ? Did you try posting a question right below that blog?

My experience has been not to install tomcat from apt-get. Just download it from apache.org website and extract it to your HOME directory. This way everything is centralized in one place. Saves a lot of trouble.
