Why can not tomcat be started from within eclipse ? [message #226848] Sun, 18 January 2009 06:57 Go to previous message

My environment:
Windows XP, SP3
Eclipse 3.4.1 (and I have also tried with 3.4)
Java JRE configured in eclipse: version 1.6.0_02
Tomcat 6.0.18 (and I have also tried with versions 6.0.14 and 6.0.16)

I have downloaded tomcat (and have even tried with three version 6.0.14,
6.0.16 and 6.0.18) and then configured eclipse (3.4 and have now also
tried with eclipse 3.4.1) to use some of these tomcat servers, but with no
luck.

I have configured them with Window-Preferences-Server-Runtime
Environments, and then pointed to the root directory where I unzipped
tomcat, as described here:
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseWTP/article.html#termi nology
though with the difference that I am using tomcat 6, and also I use
jre1.6.0_02.

When I go to Window-Show View-Servers, and then rightclick some of my
configured tomcat servers (e.g. 6.0.18) then it looks fine, i.e. the state
says "Started" and I see no exceptions in the "Console" view, but it looks
like this:
2009-jan-18 12:20:40 org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init
INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal
performance in production environments was not found on the

2009-jan-18 12:20:42 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 169 ms


Then when I try my web browser with the URL
http://localhost:8080/
I get the message
"HTTP Status 404 - /
description The requested resource (/) is not available."

However, when I start the same tomcat (e.g. 6.0.18) by using the command
prompt and executing
"D:\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\bin\startup.bat"
then I can indeed go to
http://localhost:8080/
without a problem...

So, to sum up, my problem is that I can not start tomcat from within
eclipse, while eclipse does not seem to give me any clues about what is
wrong (i.e. no exception message, and it displays a green "Started" state
as everything would be okay... while the web browser message obviously
does not agree...)
