Cannot start Tomcat server

I am new at Linux and Tomcat and trying to install Tomcat properly. What I did is extract apache-tomcat-7.029 and openjdk.

I set the profile file and the paths like: 

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
export CATALINA_HOME=/root/tomcat

the result of 

java -version

is this:

java version "1.6.0_34"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_34-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.9-b04, mixed mode)

and when I say

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

it returns me:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /root/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /root/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /root/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
Using CLASSPATH:       /root/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/root/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

but when I try to use tomcat with either 

http://MY_IP_address:8080/

I get this error:

 http://MY_IP_address:8080:No such file or directory

Enter http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
If you want to access it from another computer with your IP address, you may try to find the firewall settings of your OS and make sure the port 8080(in your case) is open.

open your browser and type 

http://locahost:8080

and once check Apache tomcat service is started or not

Steps: start-control panel-administrative tools-services and check apache tomcat. If service is not started then right click and start the server before running apache tomcat

I have tried this and it's working fine
