Question : Tomcat bundled with Netbeans will not start.

Hello all,

Last time I came up against this problem I have had to reinstall the OS in order to remedy it, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Netbeans and Tomcat.

I would like to avoid wiping the OS as I'm not in a positon or have the reasources to do so at this point.

Thanks in advance

Answer : Tomcat bundled with Netbeans will not start.

Just figured out what was happening, I had another project open in Netbeans too and it's web.xml was configured to start up and email thing I had made but some Clever Person had changed the password to the email account and so it dies without releasing any form of error. Tomcat was waiting for that application to initialise before starting my simple hello world app.

Thanks for your help arober11.
