tomcat7 keeps saying it's running, application not working (Raspberry Pi)

So to explain everything...

I had a perfectly working instance of tomcat7 working with an application in one of my directories. There were no problems.

I then switched it to wifi rather than the ethernet, and it stopped working. So I fixed my networking issue (set a static wifi ip), and tried but it still wouldn't work. Switched it back to ethernet and it didn't go back. So I went and sudo rm -r my-apache-folder and tried to reinstall. Nothing. Decided to then use apt-get to install tomcat7 and still nothing. Before it was due to JRE_HOME and JAVA_HOME not being set, and that might still be a problem but tomcat says it's running when it definitely isn't.

I don't want to flood you with server.xml or something like that until I'm asked to, so please help me and I'll respond efficiently, been working on this small problem for a week or 2 now, been using every aid on the internet to no avail.

port 8080 isn't running tomcat:

pi@raspberrypi:/$ sudo netstat -tlnp

Tomcat7 is "running":

pi@raspberrypi:/$ sudo service tomcat7 restart
[ ok ] Stopping Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat7.
[ ok ] Starting Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat7.

My java directories set in /etc/environment:

pi@raspberrypi:/etc/tomcat7$ $JRE_HOME
-bash: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-armhf/: Is a directory
pi@raspberrypi:/etc/tomcat7$ $JAVA_HOME
-bash: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-armhf/jre/: Is a directory

when i ran ps -ef|grep catalina:

pi@raspberrypi:/etc/tomcat7$ ps -ef|grep catalina
