Question

I am trying to deploy an empty webapp through NetBeans, via Tomcat 7.

Tomcat is defined in the “Servers”->”Apache Tomcat”. I click “Start”, and it runs. I can access it via http://localhost:8080 , and there the standard Tomcat webpage is.

I then switch to “Projects” tab, where resides an empty, newly created “Java Web Application”. The class is created correctly:

@WebServlet(name = "myProj", urlPatterns = {"/myProj"})
public class myProj extends HttpServlet {
...

When I try to access http://localhost:8080/myProj , I receive 404 error.
I try to right click the project, and then “Deploy”, and then this message pops:
Deployment error: Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8080 is already in use.
See the server log for details.

Also, from some reason I can’t stop the Tomcat server. Pause/Stop options are grayed out.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Found it.
From some reason NetBeans tried to use proxy, which was defined in IE.

Hm.
