i getting error when i run my jsp project

"starting tomcat v7.0 server at localhost has ecountered a problem.
Server v7.0 server at localhost was undable to start within 45 mins."

i think the problem might be in my web.xml fine under web-inf folder. may be i am not using the tags right

web.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">

<servlet>
      <servlet-name>website_test</servlet-name>
      <jsp-file>hello_servet.testing_01</jsp-file>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>website_test</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/website_test</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>


</web-app>

where
website_test is my folder name and
hello_servet is package name
testing_01 is main java name

might also be a problem in your tomcat configuration.
but this isn't really the best place to post questions about jsp applications, I think you'll have more success over here.

Post moved to JSP

This happens when there is problem with undeploying of previous war/ear and deploying the updated one.
You must open command prompt and the go to apache location in command prompt.
Then to bin folder.
then

\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\bin>shutdown.bat
\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\bin>startup.bat

This will forcefully close and then start.

Take a look at this

@IIM that will not solve problem if tomcat started as service

@hwoarang69 have look into logs, if you cannot figure out what you looking at, delete logs, try to start server, and then post errors reported in logs.

i tried deleteing the log files but still same error.

when i run it, it load for 45 sec than a pop up window comes up saying:
"Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 45 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor."

also in console it give me these error:
