Apache Tomcat 6 starting problem

Question

When I start my Tomcat 6.0 in netbeans I get such exceptions(3 times) in tomcat log:

SEVERE: Exception starting filter HTTPMonitorFilter

Also netbeans is showing that tomcat is starting and I can't stop it(stop menu is inactive). After 2 or 3 minutes it shows an error that can't to start and shutdowns. But during this process and after it I can browse to localhost:8080 (I've set 8080 to server port in tomcat properties in netbeans) How can I fix this problem?

edit: I have reinstalled Apache tomcat and add it to netbeans. Now when I start the server it doesn't throw any exceptions, but after 2-3 minutes gives me the message: Starting of Tomcat failed Any ideas?

solved issue: if to set tomcat's server port to 8084 than it works fine! The problem was that netbeans "don't want" to run tomcat server on 8080 port(it is not associated with that some program is running on 8080 port, beacuse netstat -a command don't show any record with 8080 port). So I think it is a feauture/bug of Netbeans:)

I guess the module Monitor Filter, which I personally have never used, is missing from the Netbeans' directory WEB-INF/lib/ (as a .jar Java file), and should probably be manually insalled from within your favourite IDE via something like Tools->Plug-ins... — YasirA
if you think there is a bug in NetBeans, please file an issue with the NetBeans issue tracker... That way the right person will hear about it and fix it. Here is a link to detailed instructions: netbeans.org/community/issues.html — vkraemer
after several hours of experimentation with Tomcat in Netbeans I found that the problem was in my anti-virus(nod32 v3). It performs smth like filtering traffic to port 8080, so netbeans can't start tomcat at this port(but can on any other port). If I shut down my antivir all works fine. It's interisting that glassfish server starts normally on port 8080 in netbeans even if antivir is working — maks

What worked for me was:

Remove all the libraries that are in the folder "WebContent\WEB-INF\lib" and add all libraries again.

Additionally in the "Servers" window, select "Tomcat v8.0" then right click and select "Clean..." and "Clean Tomcat Work Directory" options.
