title: appengine-try-java - 500 server error
body: <p>I am creating my first project on Google Cloud.  As per the instructions, I installed the Google Cloud SDK, Java 7 JDK (jdk1.7.0_80), Apache Maven and the appengine-try-java.zip.  </p>
  
  <p>Everything installed as per the instructions with the only exception being the appengine-try-java.zip.  When I executed the instruction: appcfg.cmd -A my-first-project-969 update D:\App\appengine-try-java I had an error that WEB-INF was not found.  I found the location and copied it to the directory of appengine-try-java.</p>
  
  <p>That did work and I was able to create the project.  Everything looked like it was working.  When I went to select the URL <a href="http://my-first-project-969.appspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://my-first-project-969.appspot.com/</a> I get this error message:</p>
  
  <p>Error: Server Error
  The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.</p>
  
  <p>Please try again in 30 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I wait 30 seconds and the same error appears.  Everytime I select the URL the error appears.</p>
  
  <p>I have ensured I am running Java 7 JDK and the paths are all correct.  Everything seems to be working as per the instructions.  Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
