It is also worthwhile to check which bash you are using with

which bash

This is because you might see the error

Cannot find ./catalina.sh

when your bash is /usr/bin/bash but is working perfectly fine when bash is /usr/bash

As color of file name is white, I suppose file is not executable; try the following command ls -l It gives you file list with its permission. Try using command

chmod a+x startup.sh

If still permission denied. Try 

sudo chmod a+x startup.sh

Then try using ./startup.sh If still permission denied. Then try

sudo ./startup.sh

Hope it will be helpful.

give:

chmod -R 777 startup.sh

Then error will come as:Cannot find ./catalina.sh then give:

chmod -R 777 catalina.sh

Tomcat will start. the problem was because there was no permission for executing. u can see if permission is there or not by giving:

ls -l

Verify, that your filesystem with the new tomcat folder isn't mounted with "noexec". Please run a "ls -l", "file start.sh" and a "head start.sh" .
