Confusing Tomcat Error: "SEVERE: Error listenerStart"

I am writing a web app in Struts. This was working perfectly until I did an
uinstall/reinstall of Apache Tomcat 6.0.14 along with the new RC2 of
NetBeans 6.0.

Now, when I try to run my web app, I get a generic Tomcat error screen:

"type Status report
message /myapp/
description The requested resource (/myapp/) is not available."

Looking through the Tomcat log in NetBeans I see:

Nov 26, 2007 1:14:14 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load
INFO: Initialization processed in 834 ms
Nov 26, 2007 1:14:14 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start
INFO: Starting service Catalina
Nov 26, 2007 1:14:14 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start
INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.14
Nov 26, 2007 1:14:15 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Nov 26, 2007 1:14:15 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/myapp] startup failed due to previous errors
Nov 26, 2007 1:14:15 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start

What does "Error listenerStart" mean and how do I correct that? I am
completely stumped. I don't know what else to try or do. Thanks in advance
for any replies!

JDK: Sun JDK 1.6.0_03
IDE: NetBeans 6.0 RC2
App Server: Tomcat bundled with NetBeans 6.0 RC2 (6.0.14)
OS: Ubuntu 7.10

That worked!

I can't imagine what the issue was, but now that it's working smoothly, it's
not worth investigating further.

Thanks!

Try installing an undbundled Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org, rather than
any 3rd-party repackaged version, even the one with NetBeans.  You can
link the separate one in as a J2EE server afterwards.

It means some lifecycle listener fro the webapp failed or wasn't found.
This can be a result of a class not found, but that should show up in
the logs.  Check the other log files for any additional information.

Regardless, I would strongly recommend installing a real Tomcat, and
trying your webapp with that.
