I´m trying to deploy THREDDS Data Server (TDS) (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/current/tds/tutorial/GettingStarted.html) as a WAR file in tomcat 8, which should be trivial. But when deploying i get an error message in the Webapps Manager:
FAIL - Application at context path /thredds could not be started
I tried to find out more about the problem by looking into the log files. Since there are several logs, i didn´t really know which one is relevant for this error. Anyway, this is the content of log file "localhost.2016-05-11.log" and it contains some errors:

I´ve tried to figure out what these errors mean, but i didn´t get any further in the last hours. I tried to deploy another .war with an eclipse project i created myself and it works fine. Can someone please help me with this problem?
Update: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so i tried to solve the problem by creating a setenv.bat (.bat instead of .sv because i´m running windows 7). If i got it right, the tds.content.root.path within setenv.bat normally points to a content folder within tomcat home directory which contains files like threddsConfig.xml(see here). Unfortunately, i discovered that in my tomcat home directory there is no "content" folder like it should be.
So this directory normally should be created automatically when deploying the TDS, but this is not happening. Can somebody explain what i can do about that?
