One very common cause of problems is having a copy of servlet.jar or
j2ee.jar in your Java system extensions directory
($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext). This will cause all sorts of problems.

The problem with messages that give only the HTTP status code is that
there are literally thousands of *possible* causes, and nobody can tell
from just what you've presented. In order to get a useful response, it
would be helpful if you would post the stack trace that was included in
the response, and/or the relevant portions of the log files (in the
$CATALINA_HOME/logs directory) -- these exception messages will describe
what is really happening, and so indicate what needs to be fixed.
