Error loading tomcat server configuration [message #216011] Tue, 24 June 2008 22:49 Go to next message

Hi,
I was having problems with the ubuntu packaged version of tomcat5.5
loading a blank page so I decided to download tomcat5.5 straight from the
site to the same directory, with a symlink from tomcat5.5 pointing to the
apache-tomcat-5.5.26
install directory so that things that were referencing tomcat5.5 would go
to the directory of the new install instead.

I was successful in adding the New Server runtime but when trying to
define a new
server for the WTP tutorial-1 project I got the following error:

This is in the window that's titled 'New Server'

'Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/conf. The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete.'

Anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong ? Thanks,

Adam Posner

See if the following link helps:

Also, check the Error Log view to see if any more specific information
about the problem is revealed there.

Thanks, that's very informative and useful info.
Unfortunately I think I may have complicated my situation.
Rather than uninstall the Ubuntu packaged version of tomcat5.5, I
downloaded the
apache-tomcat-5.5.26 from the tomcat site, installed it in the same
directory as the packaged version, then moved the home directory of the
ubuntu tomcat5.5,
(called tomcat5.5) to ubuntu-tomcat5.5. After this I created a symlink
called
tomcat5.5 pointing to the real tomcat install directory,
(called apache-tomcat5.5.26), and proceeded to do the server
configurations for the new tomcat mentioned above within eclipse. Probably
too simplistic of an approach.

My guess is that those 4 configuration files that were mentioned above are
in different locations in the different installs, so eclipse is probably
trying to load the ones from the ubuntu packaged install.
I think I will try uninstalling that one and see what happens.
