The default location of opencms_init.log is directly under the home 
directory of the system user it is running under.
So in this case it would be /root/opencms_init.log. However that error 
is not a terminal one. And it should
not be thrown if you are indeed running the app server as root.
Catalina logs would have indication of more errors. The OpenCMS shutdown 
message, does it occur by itself or as you shutdown tomcat?
