At least in Debian GNU/Linux, there seems to be some confusion about where CATALINA_HOME should be -- /usr/share/tomcat7/ versues /var/lib/tomcat7/. On the web, some docs expect log files to be in a logs/ subdirectory of the former, yet we seem to have them in the logs/ subdirectory of the latter.

(...there's more, but it doesn't look especially log-related...)
There's another example of log output in the attachment to issue #72, that shows the same thing at the beginning of the output.
At least in Debian GNU/Linux, there seems to be some confusion about where CATALINA_HOME should be -- /usr/share/tomcat7/ versues /var/lib/tomcat7/. On the web, some docs expect log files to be in a logs/ subdirectory of the former, yet we seem to have them in the logs/ subdirectory of the latter.
The log output -- isn't that ironic, I know -- excerpt below shows our app trying various locations; see the line with "ERROR":
