Ok here is what I learnt after a while and happy to pass it on.

1. Go into whm and uninstall it under addon modules.
2. SSH into your server, cd /usr/local
3. rm -f -r -d jdk1.5.0_02 this will delete the folder contence.
4. go back into whm and re-install tomcat and wait. take about 2 mins and down the bottom you should get the root username and password and link.
5. if you can't get into port 8080 for eg, yoursite.com:8080 you may have to add port 8080 in your common ingress file in your firewall like i did with APF.

Apart from that it should work, I have deleted it several times with success but am having problems intalling the admin side of it if anyone wants to help

Also keep in mind that the status screens only update every 8 or 9 minutes. Do "service chkservd restart" to refresh it quicker. Also check if indeed it is running...

ps -ef |grep java
netstat -an |grep 8080
