ide log file
There is a testPortAvailability() method called before Tomcet server is started. This metod checks whether the port on localhost(or other host) is available. Please try to check the port using the : netstat -a command. If the port is available the Tomcat server isn't started. The warning message should appear then. If it doesn't thats a bug. If the port 8080(8081) is available - try to stop the old tomcat process (using task manager). Does this help ? Created attachment 11481 [details]

netstat -a (after starting server)
I tried checking the ports before and after attempting to start the server and have posted the results here (before.txt and afterStartingTomcat.txt). I still get the same 'Unexpected java.net.SocketException' consistently. I entered this issue here because that was what the error message directed me to do, but it is also very possible that I'm doing something incorrectly. I just don't understand how it could work up until a week ago, and not once since then. It's evident that the internal Tomcat hasn't been started. However, the port 8081 should be available. It seems that there is a problem in your network configuration (see the message Network is down). Please try to start Tomcat IDE internal server outside the IDE - using the command : e:\jdk1.4\jre\bin\java -classpath "E:\IDE_NETBEANS1\tomcat406\bin\bootstrap.jar";"e:\jdk1.4\lib\tools.jar" -Dcatalina.home="E:\IDE_NETBEANS1\tomcat406" -Dcatalina.base="e:\mydir\tomcat406_base" org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "start" Here is the case when NETBEANS_HOME="E:\IDE_NETBEANS1" and USERDIR="e:\mydir". You can also copy this command from the Netbeans output window - the command is created when a web module is executed (from the WEB-INF node). Then check whether the server is running - check the URL http://localhost:8081/ in your browser. Or, try to install some version of Tomcat4.1 server from http://jakarta.apache.org and start the server. I am interested if this is working. I tried to start the IDE internal server as you suggested, without success. It couldn't find the java environment at the location you mentioned (logical, as I don't have one there) and wouldn't take a reference to my java location (c:\Java). I've got another version of the Tomcat4.1 server which I can startup, but gives me a HTTP status 404 - "The requested resource (/) is not available" error when I check the localhost:8080 URL. That's why I've always used the IDE internal server, which has worked without any problems up until now. I've now uninstalled the NetBeans IDE and reinstalled it, and the internal server works again. I have no idea what the problem was, but thankyou for all your help :) I can now get on with programming, something I know a bit more about than servers :( |
