As mentioned, I copied Tomcat Directory from one server to another. Both the server have a difference in path to Tomcat Directory and I covered that using a soft link. Which really didn't work. Changing it to complete/absolute path worked.
Changed /softlink/tomcatDirectory to /root/absolute_path/tomcatDirectory and it worked.
