Why I can not start my tomcat from command line?

I downloaded tomcat version 7.0.16 binary distributions core tar.gz from tomcat's official website to my ubuntu machine, then extracted the downloaded file.

Then, I used terminal command to specify the path to ~/apache-tomcat-7.0.16/bin$ , then I entered startup command, but I have got 'startup: command not found' message, but when I used linux command ls, there were startup.bat and startup.sh under bin/.

I also tried to enter startup.bat and startup.sh, the same message returned. Why I can not start my tomcat v7 from ubuntu terminal window??

I did it with command:

chmod +x catalina.sh
sudo ./startup.sh

Actually the problem is your startup.sh does not have the execute permission that is why you are unable to start it. First check that properly, type ./startup.sh there and observe what it says. If it is saying that "you don't have the permission" then give it execute permission by this command chmod 777 startup.sh. Then try to to start it.

you should like this:

sudo chmod +x /Users/yw/Tomcat/bin/*.sh

If you're trying to run startup.sh from the directory that contains it, you'll need to prefix the name with ./ - the current directory is not on the PATH by default. Also, you'll need the .sh extension.

So either:

~/apache-tomcat-7/bin$ ./startup.sh

Or:

~/apache-tomcat-7$ bin/startup.sh
