For Intellij Idea sometime localhost.log file generated at different location. For e.g. you can find it at homedirectory\ .IntelliJIdea14\system\tomcat.

IF you are using spring then start ur server in debug mode and put debug point in catch block of org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext's refresh() method. If bean creation fails you would be able to see the exception.
