the message log

Tomcat was working fine in 6.9 and for some reason it stopped working. I just tried to start it in debug mode and regular mode and saw the following most SEVERE message in the error log:

INFO [org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.plugins.api.UISupport]: Server without display name requested IO tab: null

SEVERE [org.openide.util.RequestProcessor]: Error in RequestProcessor org.netbeans.modules.tomcat5.ide.StartTomcat$StartRunnable

This solved it for me:

Select a server in Project Properties->Run->Server.
