I had some issues along with others, loading Tomcat 7.0.22.0 with NetBeans on packaged instal. This looked to be an issue with some computers and not others. Not to mention other little issues I got past, the browser would not load with
http://localhost:8084
So I pasted in…
http://127.0.0.1:8084
And it worked. The first address (with localhost) does work on my other computer and some others in our class, but a few have been battling with this. I figured out the patch by luck. The other problems (password and port #’s) also seemed to be consistent with possibly loading on a Windows 7 Professional 64, or this could be just chance. Any ideas would be a big help.
Perhaps you are missing an entry in your hosts file. Localhost is almost always 100% synonymous with 127.0.0.1
