I have a empty grails 4.0.2 project -> grails create-app testbot
This runs fine with -> grails run-app
This also runs fine if I deploy it to tomcat on a windows server using tomcat 9.0.33.
However when i deploy it to tomcat 9.0.16 or 9.0.24 on ubuntu it doesn't start. catalina.log shows the below, i've tried uncommenting compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat" and changing it to provided "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat" but same issue, any ideas?:
