I've seen similar posts, but none that seem to be similar enough to help. I'm running Tomcat 7.0.68 and Java 1.8.0_231 on CentOS 6.10 and so far have been unable to install thredds successfully. I followed the instructions at https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/tds/current/tutorial/GettingStarted.html#deploying, dropping the thredds.war file into the /opt/tomcat7/webapps directory, and while the thredds directory structure was unpacked, I could not hit localhost:8080/thredds, nor did the /opt/tomcat7/content directory get created.
Here's the pertinent snippet from catalina.out:

I should note that I haven't been able to find the referenced "container log file", so I've run into somewhat of a roadblock. Thanks in advance for any help.
