I forgot to include the software versions:

I don't know where to look for the roller version number but I only downloaded it a few months ago so I presume it is 4.0 My production tomcat was apache-tomcat-6.0.13, I have installed a clean apache-tomcat-6.0.18 and the problem is the same.
I am using mysql 3.23.58
I am using jdk1.5.0_10  also tried with 1.6.0
Running Linux 2.4
Firefox 3.0.1

It worked fine with the above setup for the last few months, I haven't changed tomcat or roller or mysql or jdk or Linux recently.

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!
