There should be several log files in Tomcat's logs directory; you'll need to look at all of them. > Jul 11, 2013 9:58:00 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext > startInternal > SEVERE: Error listenerStart > Jul 11, 2013 9:58:00 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext > startInternal > SEVERE: Context [/lipstick] startup failed due to previous errors Are you sure there isn't something earlier in the logs? The Grails doc mentions that by default it writes to the Tomcat directory it's installed in (which is extremely bad behavior), so make sure the userid you're running Tomcat with has permissions to write to that directory. (However, do not ever, ever run Tomcat as root.) - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
