I installed roller a few months ago and it has been working without problem for months. Two days ago my tomcat server was hung up. I was able to isolate the problem to roller, if I remove the roller webapp the server and all the other webapps work just fine. I installed a clean install of tomcat 6.0.18 and it starts up fine. I move my roller directory into the webapps directory, add the jar files and custom property files to tomcat/lib and start the server and it hangs, the other apps don't work and even tomcat shutdown doesn't work.

I have included the contents of the various logs below.

Any ideas on what could be causing the problem?

If I want to try doing a clean install of roller, what do I have to do to preserve the contents of my blog? Outside of the properties file is there anything else I need to preserve when starting with a new install of roller?

Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated!
