Tomcat does not start as a service in a brand new installation

[BeasC <cg...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am a newbie at configuring web servers and have been struggling recently
to get a JSP server up and running.  I started from scratch by installing
windows server 2003 on my machine, then I proceeded to install MySQL, so as
to avoid having it conflict with other services for ports if installed at a
later time.  MySQL installed without a problem and is working beautifully as
a service.  Then, I installed the JDK followed by Apache server, both of
which also worked fine and there is no problem (so far) on that end. 
Tomcat, however, gets installed but does not start as a service and when I
look at the jakarta logs I find this message:

[443 javajni.c] [error] FindClass org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap
failed

[2008-04-08 11:59:11] [997  prunsrv.c] [error] Failed loading main
org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap class
C:\tomcat\Tomcat6\bin\bootstrap.jar

The ironic thing here is that, in previous attempts to get the server up, I
did SDK -> Apache -> Tomcat -> JK connector -> MySQL... For wich I had
Tomcat working without any problem and MySQL not wanting to run at all.  Is
there any connection?  Does anyone know of a possible solution to this
error?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
