Issue starting tomcat 8 on aws server
<p>I'm using an aws ec2 server with a ami image with linux/Tomcat8</p>

<p><a href="http://thecloudmarket.com/image/ami-ce5d82bd--aws-elasticbeanstalk-amzn-2015-09-0-x86-64-tomcat8java8-hvm-201510302155" rel="nofollow">http://thecloudmarket.com/image/ami-ce5d82bd--aws-elasticbeanstalk-amzn-2015-09-0-x86-64-tomcat8java8-hvm-201510302155</a></p>

<p>Which is handy, but when I try and start tomcat,</p>

<pre><code>$ sudo service tomcat8 start
Starting tomcat8: touch: cannot touch ‘/usr/share/tomcat8/logs/tomcat8-initd.log’: 
No such file or directory  
[FAILED]
</code></pre>

<p>No Bueno :(
I'm not really the most familiar with tomcat, so I'm not sure what the best step forward to trouble shoot.</p>

<p>Any ideas what this could be?</p>
