Also, are you deploying a war file referenced outside of the tomcat home folder, or are you referencing an expanded directory?
How much have you edited the default server.xml? Were there xml structural changes in the server.xml file or Context element from what you used to configure the server.xml and contex.xml file(s)? My gut is that there is a detail in your startup logs that will give us a critical clue.
