You cannot use pre-existing 5.5 configuration to run Tomcat 6.0. You must copy the one from TC 6.0 installation and tune it accordingly. Your specific problem is caused by the differences in catalina.properties files (*.loader paths are different), but most of other configuration files are also different between versions (though similar). CLASSPATH variable is not needed.
