Hi John,
My guess is you might be having a permission issue. When you installed
tomcat using apt-get you might have been a "root" user, but might be
running the application as a non root user.
This line seems to be the clue:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: jspwiki.log (Permission denied)
Cheers,
David V
