OK. We need to see CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml

It will be big but better we see the whole thing to be sure.

Also, the a web application with that error, we need to see WEB-INF/web.xml

Set autoDeploy="false". I think you will be getting double deployment.

Remove the 2 xml settings. a) the belong on the Context, not the Host 
and b) you are using the defaults so there is no need to include them at 
all.

Remove the entire Logger element. It is unsupported and isn't doing 
anything.

If you want an access log, add the access log valve.
