Hello, I couldn't get tomcat6 6.0.24-2 to start, either, and so far I haven't found anything better to do than revert to a previous version (6.0.20-dfsg1-1). This is on amd64, for the record.
Purging the packages and reinstalling 6.0.24-2 didn't help; nor did switching between openjdk-6 and sun-java6. I had lines similar to these in my /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.(date).log: ><<<< 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/../lib/amd64:/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load INFO: Initialization processed in 570 ms 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start INFO: Starting service Catalina 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.24 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor ROOT.xml 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor docs.xml 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor host-manager.xml 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor manager.xml 1-mar-2010 10.34.37 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor examples.xml 1-mar-2010 10.34.38 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 1-mar-2010 10.34.38 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 591 ms 1-mar-2010 10.34.38 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer await GRAVE: StandardServer.await: create[8005]: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.bind(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:336) at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:336) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.await(StandardServer.java:373) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.await(Catalina.java:657) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:617) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:616) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:289) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:414) ><<<< An interesting behaviour I noticed: running /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start manually gave me an indication of failure; instead, if I rebooted my box altogether, it apparently worked, and I had a file with a process id at /var/run/tomcat6.pid, but by the time I could get into a shell, the process had somehow disappeared (died?). /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop would answer that tomcat6 wasn't running, /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start would complain that there was a pid file and therefore nothing had to be done.
