When attempting to test a project in netbeans 6.9 using tomcat 6 on ubuntu, I get the following feedback from netbeans:
Starting Tomcat process...
Waiting for Tomcat... Starting of Tomcat failed.
/home/[username]/NetBeansProjects/[projectname]/nbproject/build-impl.xml:683: Deployment error:
Starting of Tomcat failed.
See the server log for details.
(username and project name manually redacted)
However, tomcat says the following:
Jul 10, 2010 12:44:24 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 46 ms
Why doesn't netbeans know tomcat started? The only thing I changed about the installation is the port - I have a server on my network with apache on 8080 and tomcat on 8000. I did add a symlink to the conf folder when netbeans failed to find the server.xml.
