I have just installed the July 13 build of WTP and all required plugins.
I am now trying to set up a Tomcat 4.1 server and get it running.
When I try to start the server I get the following error:

Catalina.start: java.lang.Exception: Can't open config file:
C:\tools\eclipse\conf\server.xml due to: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\tools\eclipse\conf\server.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
java.lang.Exception: Can't open config file:
C:\tools\eclipse\conf\server.xml due to: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
C:\tools\eclipse\conf\server.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
at org.apache.catalina.util.xml.XmlMapper.readXml(XmlMapper.jav a:238)
at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:725 )
[snip]

Eclipse is installed in C:\tools\eclipse.

I have tried deleting that .metadata folder in the workspace and have
started eclipse using the -clean argument to no avail.

Any ideas on what I could be missing would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Phil

If you execute Window -> Preferences, select Server -> Installed
Runtimes, select the Tomcat 4.1 runtime, and click Edit, what do you see
for the Tomcat installation directory? Also, where is the workspace
located? Thanks.
