Google App Engine-Java: HTML Error 403: Configuration Solution Thread

GAE: Java: Windows 7 CONFIG :

I am trying to test a basic HTML "Hello World" on GAE under Windows7/Java before getting into something more interesting. however, when pasting http://localhost:8888 into Chrome or IE =>throws ERROR 403`

. I have searched through the posted workable solutions for a couple days

I want to make this a SOLUTION THREAD for many Google App Engine- Java coders

Here are some of the recommended Solutions from other threads: tried, but not resolving my error 403.

(1) Disabled my firewall/ virus protection/ reduced security to nothing
(2) ping "localhost" via cmd running as administrator (3) modified c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to remove "::1" (4) proxy settings modified (IE Options->connections->lan settings->{checked} "use proxy > server for LAN && {checked}bypass proxy server for local addresses && (under ADVANCED-EXCEPTIONS} added "localhost" in the section 'do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with: 'localhost' (5) tried flushing dns via cmd * Ipconfig /flushdns *nbstat –R *nbstat –RR *netsh int reset all * nets int ip reset * netsh winsock reset

I like to understand the inner-workings- so this code is a skeletal to test the GAE configuration is dialed-in & working before I upload more. It seemed pretty easy according to the tutorial.

As I am new to working with the GAE, I would greatly appreciate detail about why/how it's > not working/how your recommendation corrects the issue. Thanks a lot GAE technical team. You Rock!

A misplaced file here will also sometimes throw a 403.

Make sure that your HTML page is in the war folder and not WEB-INF, otherwise it might not be found. You might expect this to result in a 404, but in this case, expect also a 403.

You could also make it easier for the application to find it by mapping its location as the welcome file in your web.xml. You can do this by including the following code within the web-app tags:

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
