Stash fails to start with the message org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.startInternal A child container failed during start in the logs. The Tomcat instance won't start and application logs are not written.
The following appears in the catalina.out:

Workaround
Backup and remove any libraries from <STASH-HOME>/lib and <STASH-HOME>/lib/native apart from the database driver (if applicable).
