Answer 1

Renaming a project shouldn't cause problems assuming that you used the NetBeans Rename functionality and renamed project or folder or both.
It may be that NetBeans got confused somehow and you need to Clean & Build your project before deploying it again. Right-click your NetBeans project and click Clean & Build or use the corresponding button.
Another cause of the problem may be some reference to the old project name in one or more of the project files (e.g. context.xml). If you are not sure about that you can do a text search through the whole project: Select your project and press Strg+F.
