We don't copy the old mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar, but download a fresh mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar from http://dev.mysql.com/ to the lib directory.

First remove *.bat from the bin directory (we don't need these for sure on linux).
The fire up the bin/startup.sh : 

metskem@gneisenau:/usr/local/tomcat/bin$ ./startup.sh
