I am new to grails and am trying to deploy a helloworld grails application to tomcat.
I created the war file and then placed the war file under webapps directory in tomcat. Then I started the tomcat from bin folder and traced the logs. The application was deployed without any errors in the log.
Now when I try to access the application from the browser I get this error
Error 500 - Internal Server Error.
Error applying layout : main
Note: When I do a grails run-app, the application run perfectly.
Can someone help me out on what this is related to and how I can fix it.
