Am assuming you used the tomcat7-user package to install the container. It might be that your configuration of the catalina.base vs catalina.home is mixed up. Your catalina.base is supposed to be the director you specified when creating your instance using the tomcat7-user package. while catalina.home could be /usr/share/tomcat7.

For starters you would want to know this. Try to run this command

ps aux | grep catalina

check for -Dcatalina.base and -Dcatalina.home in the output.

Thanks Paleu. I finally sailed through. I had to install tomcat 8, jdk 8, postgresql 10 and version 2.29 of DHIS2. I am so happy.
