I want to deploy it with the .war file generated by netbeans in Windows, my project is a web app, and I want to run in in LINUX (LUBUNTU), but I can't start it. I'm using the manager-gui.
Please help me with this error. I'm new in linux.

Here's the most important line of your overzealously long (and repeated) log:
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
This basically means that a ServletContextListener implementation which is registered by either a #WebListener annotation on the class or a <listener> entry in web.xml has thrown an unhandled exception inside the contextInitialized() method. This is usually caused by a developer's mistake (a bug) and needs to be fixed. For example, a NullPointerException.
If you can't figure the cause by just staring at or unit-testing the code inside contextInitialized() method, then you'd need to create a logging.properties file in project's src folder (there where you have your Java classes; it should at least ultimately end up in /WEB-INF/classes folder of the built WAR) with the following contents:
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
This will tell Tomcat to log exceptions during starting of listeners (and filters) to the console.

Changing Server Settings and Adding New Files Are Not Detected in Tomcat

I was trying to learn how to use servlet by following the tutorial in this page:
https://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/howto/Tomcat_HowTo.html
When I reached 2.6 STEP 5: Develop and Deploy a WebApp, I was told to restart tomcat so that it'll load the directory I just made. However, the changes I made was not loaded, the assigned port is still 8080 even though I assigned it to 9999 and the hello directory was not found. Here are the messages when I issued startup.bat:

As you can see, the hello directory was not deployed. So, what is exactly happening here?
I just realized that when I issued the startup & shutdown command that there was an information in the console which looked like this:
Using CLASSPATH: "G:\Learning\tomcat9\bin\bootstrap.jar;G:\Learning\tomcat9\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
It seemed that my classpath was pointing to the wrong path. I deleted CATALINA_HOME in the environment variable settings, and now it is working fine.

ClassNotFoundException while Deploying Application on Tomcat

I am getting ClassNotFoundException while deploying my application on the Tomcat. The class is in the package without any compilation errors. This class actually initializes the application. I have cleaned the project, updated Maven dependencies but no affect. Deployment Assembly has been configured to put all the jars in Web/Inf/lib folder. I am not sure what is causing this error.

Looks like an exception is being thrown from your application. Is this the catalina.out log? How are you deploying the application (via IDE or?).

Tomcat 7 doesn't shut down, process keeps running?

I started tomcat 7 using,
cd /opt/tomcat7/bin
$/opt/tomcat7/bin ./startup.sh
It shows process running

If I shutdown it using
$/opt/tomcat7/bin ./shutdown.sh
It gives this message

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat7/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr
Using CLASSPATH: /opt/tomcat7/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/tomcat7/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
but if I check the above process, it still shows it running. Tomcat doesn't shut down. I tried it using root user as well but still no success.
Manully I can kill the process but I want to create deploy script so want to do it using shutdown.sh and startup.sh
Same happens if I try using
/opt/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh start
/opt/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh stop

You can force the shutdown by PID.
Edit
..tomcat/bin/catalina.sh
and set the
CATALINA_PID=path
variable to a local path.
CATALINA_PID
(Optional) Path of the file which should contains the pid of the
catalina startup java process, when start (fork) is used
then you can shutdown Tomcat with -force flag
../tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh -force
If the script can not stop Tomcat normally will use a kill to stop the process by PID.
Update:
According to Joshua Taylor comment, the recommended way to store additional variables for running tomcat is the setenv.* script.
Take a look at (3.4) Using the "setenv" script (optional, recommended) section in the tomcat running docs
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/RUNNING.txt
If you are in windows, and using the portable tomcat, you can use the nircmd program tool, and close by title console window, instead of stopping by PID.
When you have downloaded this tool, just do:
nircmd.exe win close title "Tomcat"
I once had the misfortune of a page running infinite redirect loops due to a faulty authentication mechanism.
It eventually slowed down the entire server, but also made it impossible for me to shut it down gracefully. In the end I had to employ brute force like vzamanillo describes.
The point being that something fishy might be running within your server's processes that won't finish properly.
Is you shutdown port set? (in /etc/tomcat9/conf/server.xml )
<Server port="9005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

Webapp is running on local tomcat7 but not on linux tomcat7

I have developed a webapp with jsf2 and primefaces 3.2.
The webapp is running local without any problems on a clean tomcat7 installation. So I dropped the .war file in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps on my Linux server.
The webapp appeared at the tomcat manager but was not running. If i try to start it, the following error shows up.
"FAIL - Application at context path /LnB-Sports could not be started"
"FAIL - Encountered exception org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: An invalid Lifecycle transition was attempted ([after_stop]) for component [org.apache.catalina.startup.FailedContext#130cd4a] in state [FAILED]"

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.catalina.startup.FailedContext cannot be cast to org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext
This suggests that the runtime classpath is for some reason polluted with multiple different versioned Tomcat-internal libraries, such as catalina.jar. Those multiple different versioned libraries are conflicting with each other.
You need to make absolutely sure that your webapp's /WEB-INF/lib does not contain any servletcontainer-specific JAR file, such as catalina.jar, servlet-api.jar, etc.. It would make your webapp to be compatible only with the specific servletcontainer make/version where the JAR is originally coming from and totally unportable to another servletcontainer makes/versions. You also need to make absolutely sure that you don't touch Tomcat's own /lib folder nor JRE/JDK's own /lib or /lib/ext which also paricpiates in the runtime classpath (unless you really really know what you're doing, but not understanding this ClassCastException indicates that this is not yet the case).
