There was nothing in the c:\tomcat v5.5 logs folder. No files at all.
http://127.0.0.1:8080 gave me the same error.
So, I deleted c:\tomcat and reinstalled Tomcat 6 for Windows as a service since I am getting the same error regardless. And changed the enviromental variables back again.
When I checked
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\logs I found the log files below. I bolded an entry in Catalina which may be my problem...but I have no idea how to repair it.
