Error when I try deploy application to tomcat7 server

Question

I am trying deploy a web application to tomcat7 via eclipse luna, but I am getting this error:

Uploading: http://localhost:8080/manager/text/deploy?path=%2Fl         


        

Answer 1

I was having the same issue and solved it by running the maven goal

tomcat7:redeploy

instead of

tomcat7:deploy

It worked for both tomcat7 and tomcat8, and my war file was always below 50mb.
