Today (2006-04-05) I disovered a somewhat different recipe to running Tomcat 5.5.16 on Mac OS X 10.4.6. Today's Tomcat (v5.5) wants to run on Java 5, but Apple's command line defaults to Java 4 (1.4.2). Surprisingly, Tomcat's script works around this. I did not need to set any environment variables (JAVAHOME). Once there, click on one of the Tomcat versions such as version 8 or version 9. Under Core, select the tar.gz file. Download the tar.gz file. MacOS / Mac OS X will probably extract the file to a.tar file in your downloads directory. Move this.tar file to a location on your computer where you would like tomcat. Download Apache Tomcat for Mac free. On Mac OS X, it's pretty easy to start the server. You just have to run the startup script from the shell.
Here are the steps to find which version you are running on your MAC OS (Snow – Leopard 10.6.4)
Open Terminal window
Locate your tomcat installation:
cd /usr/local/<tomcat dir>/bin <enter>
run following command:

sh version.sh <enter>
