Well, if you have indeed started tomcat, which you didn't state, try removing the extra colan from your URL:

before: http://localhost:8080:/
after: http://localhost:8080/

I moving this to the Tomcat forum.

We do have a Naming Policy that we would appreciate you reading and adhering to. Specifically, obviously ficticious names are not allowed.

You can change your display name here.
