Created a web app in the IDE and placed a simple html file in the root of the application (same level as meta-inf and web-inf) and tried to run it. The deployment monitor begins to run, and before it completes it stops, and an error is noted. It says, "Deployment error: Failed to lookup configuration for Tomcat5 in . See ide log for details. I will atttach the log to this bug report. I have successfully ran a web app in nb3.6 under Linux Suse 9.0. This is occuring in Windows XP.
Created attachment 14898 [details] ide.log for tomcat error
See issue 43333 for my last comment. It seems a '.netbeans' sub-directory in my 'Documents and Settings' which was left over (and not deleted during an uninstall) from a 3.5.1 installation was causing some issues with the 3.6 app. After uninstalling everything to do with java that I could, I searched for remnants of netbeans and found that directory. After I deleted it, I reinstalled netbeans, and it ran fine.
This is a real bug and it's a duplicate of Issue #43602
