Issue starting tomcat 8 on aws server

I'm using an aws ec2 server with a ami image with linux/Tomcat8

http://thecloudmarket.com/image/ami-ce5d82bd--aws-elasticbeanstalk-amzn-2015-09-0-x86-64-tomcat8java8-hvm-201510302155

Which is handy, but when I try and start tomcat,

$ sudo service tomcat8 start
Starting tomcat8: touch: cannot touch ‘/usr/share/tomcat8/logs/tomcat8-initd.log’: 
No such file or directory  
[FAILED]

No Bueno :( I'm not really the most familiar with tomcat, so I'm not sure what the best step forward to trouble shoot.

Any ideas what this could be?

Who would of thought the fix could be so simple (and obvious) :)

To fix this issue simply create the log folder.

/usr/share/tomcat8/logs

The server will start fine. Who would have thought :D Props to John Hascall for the insight.
