Every time I try to deploy a web application on netbeans, I get the following error:\

C:\Users{myname}\Documents\NetBeansProjects\WebApplication2\nbproject\build-impl.xml:1045: The module has not been deployed. See the server log for details.

The problem is, there are no errors in the apache log!

I have uninstalled my netbeans and installed it afresh, yet still the problem persists. I even downloaded and installed the new netbeans version 8.0, but the problem occurs there too.

I have restarted my laptop countless times, but problem won't go away.

My laptop runs Windows 8.1.

Please, what do I do?

EDIT 1:

I've opened the build-impl.xml file, and here is line 1045

 <nbdeploy clientUrlPart="${client.urlPart}" debugmode="false" forceRedeploy="${forceRedeploy}"/>

  • Can you open the build-impl.xml file and look at line 1045? What is it trying to do there? Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 15:58
  • Hi Ewald, I've edited my question to include line 1045 in build-impl.xml. Thanks Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 16:14
  • So it gets right to the point where it tries to deploy without any errors, but then the container (Tomcat) most probably fails for some reason. I'm guessing you are building a JSF project? Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 16:16
  • No, just trying to deploy a basic web application. Created a fresh new web application and clicked "deploy" and I got that. I used to be able to deploy until today. Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 16:21

    A simpler workaround is to use an embedded server like Jetty/Grizzly where you just run a Java main method and don't need a deployment step. This isn't a direct solution to the question, but it may be useful. Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 16:40

Turns out there some corruption with my roaming profile. I closed netbeans, deleted the netbeans folders under my roaming profile, restarted my laptop and - presto! Everything's working fine now.

Thanks!

I am the author of the question, geedubb. The question was I couldn't successfully deploy a web-app on Tomcat and I kept getting a build error, and this persisted after countless netbeans re-installs and laptop shut-downs. The solution to the problem is that I deleted the netbeans folder in my roaming profile, restarted my laptop, and I was able to deploy again. It doesn't get any more complicated than that, I'm afraid.
