Tomcat running but page Blank

 

Dear Team,

I installed Tomcat7 in Ubuntu 12.04 but created simbolic links as below:
ovcadmin@li573-84:/usr/share/tomcat7$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/common/
common
ovcadmin@li573-84:/usr/share/tomcat7$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/server/
server
ovcadmin@li573-84:/usr/share/tomcat7$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/shared/
shared

when I start tomcat it starts well as below:
ovcadmin@li573-84:/$ sudo /home/ovc/tomcat-ovc/bin/startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/ovc/tomcat-ovc
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat7
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/ovc/tomcat-ovc/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/
Using CLASSPATH:
/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started

when I shut it down it throws the warnings below:
ovcadmin@li573-84:/$ sudo /home/ovc/tomcat-ovc/bin/shutdown.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/ovc/tomcat-ovc
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat7

Tomcat stopped

I changed port from the default port 8080 to 8081 just incase another
tomcat instance is listening to it but still its not running. Below is the
screen I get.

The catalina.out shows tomcat is started:
Aug 10, 2016 9:43:40 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol init

Aug 10, 2016 9:43:41 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start

Any idea of how to fix this.
