How to fix Tomcat "127.0.0.1 is not recognized" problem in Netbeans

I have just installed NetBeans 8.0.2 along with Tomcat 8.0.15 that is part of NetBeans bundle.

After creating a web application as I try to deploy the application, it threw error and Tomcat window in Netbeans shows the following error:

'127.0.0.1' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

After some searching in Internet, I found the issue and solution. I have seen this error with some other versions of Tomcat also. As it may be a problem other are also having, I would like to share steps to fix this problem. Follow the steps and your Tomcat will be up and running.

Start any Text Editor in Adminstrator mode (using Run as adminstrator option from context menu). I am using Notepad.
Go to Tomcat's installation folder. In case you don't know which is the installation folder of Tomcat, go to menu Tools->Servers. In Servers window select Apache Tomcat 8.0.15.0 and notedown the directory displayed as Catalina Home under Connection tab.
Go to Tomcat Installation folder (ex: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 8.0.15). Move to bin directory and then open catalina.bat file using Notepad. Remember you have to modify this file so make sure you have Adminstrator privileges by running Notepad in Adminstrator Mode.

Search for :noJuliConfig and you find the following.

:noJuliConfig
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_CONFIG%"

if not "%LOGGING_MANAGER%" == "" goto noJuliManager
set LOGGING_MANAGER=-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
:noJuliManager
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_MANAGER%"

Remove double quotes from lines shown above in bold. Here is the modified version.

:noJuliConfig
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_CONFIG%

if not "%LOGGING_MANAGER%" == "" goto noJuliManager
set LOGGING_MANAGER=-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
:noJuliManager
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_MANAGER%

Save catalina.bat file.
Now starting Tomcat will be succesful.

Hope this is of help to you.

Posted By Mike On 15-Feb-18 05:49:49 AM This fix just does not work for apache-tomcat 8.5.27 - the catalina.bat file does not have those entries; looks like this: :noJuliConfig if not "%LOGGING_MANAGER%" == "" goto noJuliManager set LOGGING_MANAGER=-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager :noJuliManager rem Java 9 no longer supports the java.endorsed.dirs rem system property. Only try to use it if rem JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS was explicitly set rem or CATALINA_HOME/endorsed exists. set ENDORSED_PROP=ignore.endorsed.dirs if "%JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS%" == "" goto noEndorsedVar set ENDORSED_PROP=java.endorsed.dirs goto doneEndorsed

This fix just does not work for apache-tomcat 8.5.27 - the catalina.bat file does not have those entries; looks like this:
:noJuliConfig

if not "%LOGGING_MANAGER%" == "" goto noJuliManager
set LOGGING_MANAGER=-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
:noJuliManager

rem Java 9 no longer supports the java.endorsed.dirs
rem system property. Only try to use it if
rem JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS was explicitly set
rem or CATALINA_HOME/endorsed exists.
set ENDORSED_PROP=ignore.endorsed.dirs
if "%JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS%" == "" goto noEndorsedVar
set ENDORSED_PROP=java.endorsed.dirs
goto doneEndorsed
