Tomcat Startup Problem - Installing Web Application

[WebHost]

Hi,

I'm really struggling with this. I'ts been quite some time now but I
can't seem to install a web application in my Tomcat webapps
directory. Everytime I put a WAR file in the webapps directory of
tomcat, it unpacks it but the console is filled with errors.

The same is true on tomcat startup as the example applications cannot
be installed. Here is what the output is on trying to install an
application (copying the WAR file):

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm really struggling with this. I'ts been quite some time now but I
can't seem to install a web application in my Tomcat webapps
directory. Everytime I put a WAR file in the webapps directory of
tomcat, it unpacks it but the console is filled with errors.

You've got some inconsistent code. Try deleting the install directory
and re-installing Tomcat (save any web apps and modified config files
first!). If that doesn't help, check your CLASSPATH environment
variable for stray entries that might point to old versions of Tomcat,
and look for stray JARs in your jre/lib/ext directory that might contain
Tomcat code.

Error deploying configuration descriptor esolaria.xml

Is esolaria.xml your file? I never heard of esolaria.xml coming with
tomcat.
