Unable to start Jaspersoft after license update on AWS?

Running Jaspersoft at AWS.  We renewed our license and when we bounced the server as per this article http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jaspersoft-amazon-web-serv..., the server will not start.  In reviewing the catalina.out log, we see the following error:

We noticed that prior to the tomcat7 stop and start, the log files were owned by root:root.  Following the restart, the log files were owned by tomcat:tomcat.  We also noticed that WEB-INF/lib/RedshiftJDBC41.jar is owned by root:root. 

We've logged in to the server as root and have attempted to start tomcat7 as root, but the process and logs end up being owned by tomcat.

1 Answer:

Ok, looks you are missing (or a broken) a Redshift Driver "Failed to access resource /WEB-INF/lib/RedshiftJDBC41.jar"

And since it complains at startup this may be used in a JNDI connection (probably on context.xml)
