Sure, the "-src" file is the *source* file of tomcat, those need you to
compile it and probably run a dist making script included in folder. If
you just want to install tomcat, download the binary packages.

Make sure you're not using a port under 1024 on UNIX, or Tomcat will have to bind that port as root anyway.
Otherwise, you just need to make sure the non-root user has access to the appropriate Java and Tomcat files, yes. I routinely run Tomcat as a non-root user on various Linux systems, just by extracting a copy in my user directory and making sure I don't use any privileged ports.

thanks a lot. I appreciate your help.
1- how to change the http port number?
2- how to allow a non-root user to start tomcat? Is it
only though file ownership modification (chown -R
/usr/local/tomcat6)?
thanks again.

Make sure you have at least JDK1.5 installed, and that your JAVA_HOME is pointing to that JDK. It looks like you're trying to run Tomcat on a 1.4 JDK.

tomcat 6.x requires JRE/JDK to be at least 5.0...
Cheers,

Hello and thanks for the reply,
I downloaded the binaries apache-tomcat-6.0.14.tar.gz
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.2_08/
export JRE_HOME=/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.2_08/jre/
the tomcat is still not starting:
bash-2.03# more catalina.out
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap (Unsupported
major.minor version 49.0)
