While attempting to deploy my web application to our production server I
encountered an issue, and after looking in the catalina.out log file, the
following shows up:
SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start:

So, to my knowledge, this seems that the issue is the "Failed to process
either the global, per-host, or context-specific context.xml file". So I
have spent hours searching and there seem to be very few people who
received this error message. I was hoping that someone could please help
me because I am completely out of ideas and searching has gotten me
nowhere. Additionally, after this exception, the following stack trace is
printed, but I assume that it is a direct results of the previous error:

After all of these errors, the log file just displays some info about
starting the server. I have tried granting permissions to both Apache
Tomcat and the local Unix on the machine (by changing catalina.policy and
using chmod), but this hasn't seemed to fix the problem. I have also
tried to rollback to a previously working version of the application and
even this will not work. For completeness, here is some relevant
information about the machine and Tomcat that is running:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37

Using CLASSPATH:

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue or how to help me? Thank
you very much for your time!
