I have a problem that I've been inspecting for a while now, googling and everything but could not begin to understand. I'm really not used to java, even less tomcat. So there it is.

First, the setup.

• Centos 5.3 on a virtualized server.
• Bitnami Native Alfresco stack (tomcat5.5, mysql5, java, javajdk, JDBC)

Content of catalina.log. Since it's the shortest and where I found my first clue to what is going wrong: SEVERE: Error listenerStart

There's the content of catalina.out, it seems to be a stack trace or application trace of the error, is that right?

Catalina.out gist on github

There is a 404 error telling me this: The requested resource (/alfresco/) is not available.

This is it. I think.
