Cannot start Tomcat in Eclipse [message #500738]

Hi,
my problem is that I cannot start Tomcat in Eclipse. I use Tomcat 6 and Eclipse Galileo.
When I try to start Tomcat from Eclipse, Eclipse is showing this in the console:

27.11.2009 18:32:34 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 java.library.path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;.;C:\Windows\Sun\Java\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6/bin/client;C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6/bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;

There is no problem to start Tomcat by running the startup.bat file.

I have no idea where is the problem. I tried to find some solution but with no success.

Thank you for help!

The "INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library..." at the top of
the log implies that the dll needed to use APR is not available, so
Tomcat didn't automatically use APR. However, the error seems to imply
that you have manually configured Tomcat within Eclipse to use APR. Is
this correct? I believe the error is what happens if you try to us APR
without making the required dll available (or perhaps the appropriate
version).

It's not clear if Tomcat is starting outside of Eclipse because the dll
is available or Tomcat isn't manually configured to use APR. Is it your
intention to use APR in your configuration?

Cheers,
Larry

Thank you Larry! You're right.

Tomcat starting from Eclipse really can't find the APR library.

Solution:
So I added path to the APR library (e.g. .../tomcat/bin) to the system environment PATH and Tomcat is running now without problems.
When you don't need APR just set in the server.xml file in Eclipse instead of "org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol" protocol a "HTTP/1.1" protocol.

Cheers,

TSS
