I use Tomcat 7.0.27 on my Mac every day. I'm not sure why you needed
an "installation guide" when the instructions are so darned simple:

1. Download tarball
2. Un-tar tarball

Done.

Oh, you want to actually /run/ it? That's easy:

$ bin/startup.sh

You don't need any sudo access or anything like that.

You really shouldn't run Tomcat as root.

That's odd that explicitly-specifying the path to Tomcat instead of
using the CATALINA_HOME environment variable changes anything.

Do this:

1. Stop Tomcat (use 'ps' or 'Activity Monitor' to make sure it's dead)
2. Remove all log files from $CATALINA_HOME/logs/*
3. Start Tomcat using "startup.sh"
4. Post-back the entire contents of $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out
5. Also post the non-comment portions of your conf/server.xml file
