Cannot configure Tomcat 6 to serve webpages in Eclipse. [message #643429] Mon, 06 December 2010 19:56 Go to next message

Hello,
I'm trying to get a webpage in Eclipse to run on Tomcat 6. I am running Linux Mint 10 x64 (Which is derived from Ubuntu Maverick Meercat) and I have installed Tomcat 6 from the repository. I added it to the server runtimes (Window > Preferences > Server > Server Runtimes) in Eclipse and also my project's java runtime library path, but when I right click on the webpage, go to run as, and then run on server, I get this screenshot:

and I can't add a name for the server (It doesn't let me type in the box) or click finish. I can see tomcat running at http://localhost:8080. What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this? I urgently need this for a school project, and I don't want to have to go through the whole hassle of installing and configuring everything again on Windows.

Thanks,
Nick

If you haven't already, try creating the Tomcat server separately from
the Run on Server action. In the Server view, right-click and select
New -> Server. I would also recommend reviewing the Tomcat FAQ[1] for
details about how the WTP Tomcat support is implemented.

Cheers,
Larry
