Your real problem is this: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.index_jsp.

You have indicated that are using:

Using JRE_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_65/

Tomcat need to compile jsp files into servlets, so the JDK and JAVA_HOME is needed. It seems you are using a JDK but instead defined JRE_HOME.

Ensure you are using JDK and not only JRE and set JAVA_HOME properly.
