Answer 1

Got this, appears it was caused by the use of a "java agent" in the command that runs catalina -javaagent=... weird. Gave us

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org/apache/xerces/jaxp/DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl

Also sometimes gave us this:

Fix: temporarily remove java agent parameter, then started up well. Possible fix: make it so it can log to its log file (permissions)?
