After deployment Tomcat server is not running on port 8443 from Commandline

I have one web project in eclipse. For HTTPS configuration I have made required changes in server.xml File is attached below.
When I run tomcat server from eclipse, It runs on both ports 8080 with HTTP and 8443 with HTTPS.
For deployment I choose not to run tomcat from eclipse, so I took a export of my project with export source files setting enable and put that war file into webapps folder. After doing that when I start tomcat server from command line it starts but runs only on 8080 port not on 8443. So due to that am not able to run my project's url.
May I know please why it is happening that tomcat is not running on 8443 when I'm running from command line ? Eclipse and Command line points to same Tomcat installation folder. So what's wrong happening ?

Any ideas why it fails to deploy the war file using the manager web UI from tomcat?

I faced the same issue. But after stopping and starting the tomcat server,I uploaded the war file again it is deployed successfully

Tomcat 7 running Spring Application

My Tomcat Application is not running (never was). The Tomcat itself is running, but the application cannot be found (see screenshot):
I have the following project setup (with Spring 4.1 and Maven):
The yachtCalendar-servlet.xml looks like this:

public ModelAndView getUsers() {
List<User> users = loadUsers();
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
modelAndView.setViewName("users");
modelAndView.addObject("users", users);
return modelAndView;
}
public List<User> loadUsers(){
List<User> list = new ArrayList<User>();
list.add(new User("User","Name","mail#gmail.com","noPassword"));
return list;
}
}
Can somebody help me with the setup and tell me what I forgot?

You need some way of initializing the Spring context. The easiest way is to add this to your web.xml:
<!-- location of spring xml files -->
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/yachtCalendarApp-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- the listener that kick-starts Spring -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

Reasons may include the following:
In your servlet you use mapping for only 3 types of patterns. May be must be
*.jsp because your screenshot consists only jsp files
You have no welcome page in your web.xml and Tomcat doesn't know about jsp files
your app is called as 'yachtcalendar' (all letters are small) but not yachtCalendar
You can try
http://localhost:8080/yachtcalendar/user
2.http://localhost:8080/yachtcalendar/user.jsp (because in your web.xml - user.jsp)
change your url-pattern to /* and http://localhost:8080/yachtcalendar/user
Could your print your UserController

Errors occur in : `Parse Fatal Error at line 1 column 10: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed. And i want set account admin for tomcat? Some body help! Tks.

Try to remove all blank spaces in your server.xml before <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Good luck.

Tomcat configuration

Well I had Tomcat 6 up ad running for a long time and then all of a sudden I started getting this error message when I try to go to this page: http://localhost:9090
Method GET not implemented (try POST)
Update: after changing my port to 8780 and accessing http://localhost:8780 I just get this in Firefox:
Unable to connect
I have no idea what is wrong, I have reinstalled Tomcat entirely. Any ideas?
All I am trying to do is get the default tomcat page up for now. not actually trying to use a webapp.
server.xml (removed web.xml examples..ive now changed my port to 8780....)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Are you sure you're accessing the correct port? This error message is typical for invalid SOAP (XML-RPC) requests, not for invalid HTTP requests. The Tomcat admin pages are usually to be served by HTTP. Check /conf/server.xml to verify port number (or to change it).
Are you also sure that it's Tomcat which listens on that port? Maybe you've installed another server software which hijacked that port from Tomcat. If Windows, check it with netstat.
Edit: as per the update (the "Unable to connect" error after changing the port): are you sure you've configured and started the right Tomcat instance? Maybe you've installed multiple Tomcats in parallel.
