i got same errors when tried standalone installer.  apparently version of commons-logging or log4j coldfusion 10 expecting isn't 1 it's finding?  know problem , how fix it?

coldfusion 10 ships embedded copy of tomcat. there perhaps conflict between tomcat installation , coldfusion's. may hard believe but, according coldfusion 10 support matrix, deployment on tomcat not supported!
