Apache tomcat installation causes error

I installed jdk1.8 and now trying to install apache tomcat. When I run
C:\Program Files\apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\bin>startup
it start running like
C:\Program Files\apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\bin>startup
Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Program Files\apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.30"
Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\Program Files\apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.30"

Using CLASSPATH: "C:\Program Files\apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files\apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.30\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
after that I tried to check apache tomcat in browser like localhost:8080
and showing following error

IllegalArgument Exception TomEE

I downloaded TomEE 1.7.1 and installed. While bringing the server up an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. What could be the issue as I have not deployed any app yet.

Spring logs not coming machine specific

I am using a spring maven tomcat8 java8 stack. The problem I am facing is that logs are not getting generated on certain machines. I am using slf4j-logback combination for logging. The problem has surfaced when I am trying to move my stack from java7 to java8.
Here is my logback.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="dal"
class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>/var/log/dal/dal.log</file>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<!-- daily rollover -->
<fileNamePattern>/var/log/dal/dal-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log.gz</fileNamePattern>
<!-- keep 30 days' worth of history -->
<maxHistory>30</maxHistory>
</rollingPolicy>
<append>true</append>
<encoder>
<pattern>[%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %thread %-5level %C:%L] %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>[%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %thread %-5level %C:%L] %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="email-appender" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SMTPAppender">
<to></to>
<from></from>
<subject>API Logs - Error while sending notification</subject>
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<pattern>[%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} %thread %-5level %C:%L] %msg%n</pattern>
</layout>
</appender>
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="dal" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>
Using this, I expect to get logs at two places, at custom location /var/log/dal/dal.log and in catalina.out
Here are a few relevant details of the server where logs are getting generated:

Another thing of note can be the fact that when I do System.out.println("msg"), "msg" goes into catalins.out on both servers. And If I change permission of /var/log/dal on the machine logs are getting generated, logs still get generated in catalina.out. So this shouldn't be related to permissions.
I have tried copying war file from one server to another and didn't find any change in behavior. So, this shouldn't be related to maven. Tomcat and Java versions are same. Can this be related to OS?
UPDATE: When I run my application using mvn clean tomcat7:run, I get logs on all servers. So problem seems to be related to tomcat8. I have even tried copying tomcat8 from one server to another. It didn't help.

Please make sure there are no other slf4j bindings on the classpath (e.g., in the tomcat).

This was the case of slf4j identifying multiple bindings in classpath. In such scenarios, slf4j chooses the binding pretty much randomly. In my case, this was happening because slf4j-log4j12 binding was available through solr-core. To remove this, I had to exclude this explicitly:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.solr</groupId>
<artifactId>solr-core</artifactId>
<version>${solr.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

tomcat produce exceptions when running deployed war file

During development I use tomcat plugging for maven: tomcat7-maven-plugin version 2.2

solved by installing tomcat v 7.0.53

I guess you are building a web app based on the JEE 7 specs, I can see the WebSocket api, While your dependency is for the JEE 6. Add the correct dependency for JEE 7 and the error will be removed. The error is due to its not able to find the class. Due to dependency mismatch its showing a version mismatch error too.

I even tried Tomcat Controller, but it says something isn't configured properly also.
It'd be really helpful if these errors told me exactly what the problem was.
Feel free to move this to ServerFault

You have two JVMs installed. Not the JRE_HOME line in the output from startup and compare it with the JAVA_HOME path above it.
You'll need to update the JRE_HOME environment variable and the java symlink in /usr/bin to point to the java 7 installation.
