changes in login pages - kills IDP?

[Sharma, Dattathreya]

Anything in tomcat localhost log?

I think this could happen if container cannot not start IdP due to
incorrect file paths in web.xml.
<context-param>
   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
   
<param-value>file:///opt/tomcat/webapps/idp/WEB-INF/classes/conf/internal.x
ml; 
file:///opt/tomcat/webapps/idp/WEB-INF/classes/conf/service.xml;</param-val
ue>
</context-param>

Whether you are using relative or absolute path, make sure container can
load this.
