Distribution is missing "logs" folder (causing clean install to fail on first run)
Happened to me both on Mac OS and Linux when installing from scratch:
Initial startup fails on error where catalina.out cannot be created (touched). Reason is that its parent folder (/logs/) is not present in the zip/tar.gz archive. Folder should be unzipped as empty, or created when does not exist.

Hi Matej,
catalina.out is created by Tomcat, not TeamCity. If it's failing to touch it, it's not unlikely that the user running the application doesn't have permissions to create a folder in the path where you installed teamcity, as it's not required that the user creates one manually. Make sure the user running teamcity has permissions to create the folder, otherwise it won't work.
