Tomcat not running on Mac OS X

Question

I'm trying to run Tomcat on Mac OS X (leopard) according to the directions on this article:

http://computersight.com/software/how-to-install-mondrian-the-complete-guide/

I was able to run ./startup.sh properly and see the screen in step#3 at one point, but after I got through all 16 steps, I was longer able to view that same screen at localhost:8080. I followed the instructions closely. The only thing I changed different was in step #15, I changed jdbcUser and jdbcPassword for the following files: (arrows.jsp, colors.jsp, fourhier.jsp, mondrian.jsp). I changed those to root user.

Java and Mysql are installed and functioning properly; I'm just trying to get Tomcat to run properly. Any help or advice to get me looking in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
