I am running GeoServer 2.7.1 on Tomcat 7.0.62 on OS X 10.10. I have installed Tomcat with Homebrew and copied the GeoServer 2.7.1 war file to the webapps dir. When I try to start GeoServer it fails with this message.

SEVERE: One or more listeners failed to start. Full details will be found in the appropriate container log file

I see no other specific errors in catalina.out. Maybe this is an issue below?

INFO: At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs. Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them. Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time.

SEVERE: Context [/geoserver] startup failed due to previous errors

Anyone know where I can start looking for config errors etc. ?

I had a similar problem, adding setenv.sh file in tomcat/bin folder or changing the jdk path in service script (if you are starting tomcat as a service) resolves this issue. The web-application you are deploying depends on specific jdk version.
