A 500 response code means "Something went wrong on the server".
To get some idea as to what went wrong, you would need to look in the logs under TOMCAT_INSTALL/logs.

The problem is often on the top line of the stack trace.
If, the top line points to a class that you didn't write, try working your way down the stack trace to the first line containing something that you did write.

Also, look for "Root Cause".

In this case, we can see that you have a Null Pointer Exception in the list method of HTMLManagerServlet:
org.apache.catalina.manager.HTMLManagerServlet.list(HTMLManagerServlet.java:423)

Something you did not write.
I'm guessing that there is a problem in one of the application's deployment descriptor (web.xml) or, if you edited server.xml to add an application, there is a problem with it.

I can only guess without seeing all of your log files.
If there is a real lot there, try, stopping Tomcat, backing up all the existing log files (remove them from the logs directory) and start it back up.
This way, it will be a lot easier to find the specific problem without wading through weeks or months of logs.

You should also post the exact version of Tomcat you are using as well as the Java version. I tried looking at the source code for HTMLManagerServlet at line 423 (Tomcat 5.5.17) but you must be working with a different version.
