500 error with warbler WAR to tomcat6

I’m trying to deploy a Rails 3.2.1 app with Warbler to Tomcat6. This
application worked about a month ago, but now I get a 500 error, and the
dreaded “We’re sorry but something went wrong” message.

After deploying the WAR, I see this in catalina.out, but nothing more

Mar 25, 2012 6:20:38 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
INFO: Deploying web application archive twitalytics.war

How can I get more info this problem? I’m not sure how else to pin down
what’s going wrong.

If anyone is interested, this problem is reproducible from this code:
https://github.com/jkutner/warbler-500-error

By running:

$ vagrant box add warbler http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box
$ vagrant up
$ bundle install --binstubs
$ rake deploy:war
$ open http://localhost:8888/twitalytics

Thanks,

it may go without saying, but an asset:precompile fixed this. le sigh

i’m still curious about how to get more info out of the tomcat logs
though?

You can check $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/localhost.log
