Please provide more details; what application(s) your are using that gives this error, what version of the application, where do you see this error (log file, console?).

We're running 502 ifix14  single clm install using tomcat and oracle backend on RH 6.4. The error is on startup in the catalina.out

Did you accidentally throw a .jar file into the Tomcat library path? The class org.apache.commons.logging.Log is provided in the file org.apache.commons.logging_###.jar and each CLM application has a copy of this file (same version: 1.0.4.v201005080501, except CLMHelp which is 1.0.4.v201101211617). If a different version of this file has already loaded by Tomcat, the others will fail to load. So double check whether there is an extra copy of this file lying around somewhere.

I believe I found the issue. In dropping https in the server rename, I may have missed changing an apps web.xml setting from "confidential" to "NONE". This may have been the root cause.

Just to clarify, did you resolve the issue by correcting one of the web.xml files?
