[Building Sakai] Problem with 2.9 tomcat start

[Paul Dagnall]

Hi
On a test instance I can point my Sakai 2.9 instance at a clean db and it
starts up fine. I recently converted a test db from Sakai 2.6 to 2.9 using
the sql conversion scripts. When I pointed the 2.9 app at this converted db
it worked very well at first.

However, something must have changed and now I can't get tomcat (7) to
start up anymore, and to make matters worse the error in the tomcat log is
painfully vague.

Backing out all recent changes didn't help. I attempted to redo the
conversion but still can't get it to startup. I also tried removing tools
several tools to no avail.

Is there something I can do to get more information about the error to
print to the tomcat log? Modifying the logging.properties file didn't help.

Thanks!
