After installing tomcat6 on CentOS 6.3, I am unable to start tomcat6 server.

root@host [/var/log/tomcat6]# service tomcat6 start
Starting tomcat6:                                          [  OK  ]

Although it says OK, I cant access http://mydomain.com:8080.

catalina.out

Tomcat6 was installed using yum:

yum -y install java tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps

When I tried to find the version: tomcat6 version:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo

Any idea what I should do? Thanks!
