3.3 / Ganymed: can't create Tomcat 5.5 server configuration [message #216066] Wed, 25 June 2008 18:20 Go to next message

Hi,

I just downloaded Ganymed in its JEE package (32 bit) and tried to
create a new server configuration for a local Tomcat 5.5. The problem is
that I cannot get past the window labeled "New Server" because the 5.0
and the 5.5 configurations aren't selectable. The error at the top of
the window reads:"Cannot create a server using the selected type". Any
idea what causes this?

Regards,

Maik

Is this happening, or does this happen, in a new workspace? Does the
Tomcat v6.0 Server selection allow you to click Next?

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry,

it seemed to be a workspace-related problem, I can create all Tomcat
configurations in a new workspace. To answer your question: a 6.0 Tomcat
configuration was possible. Thank you for your effort.

I would guess that there are existing Tomcat runtimes defined in the
problem workspace and something amiss with them causes problems when
trying to create a new server from those runtimes. If the problem
workspace is important to you, you could try recreating those Tomcat
runtimes and see if that improves the behavior when trying to create a
new server.

Cheers,
Larry

to solve this problem, just add a READ and WRITE permissions to the files
in directory "tomcat/conf" (chmod -vR a+rw tomcat/conf/*). To be more
specific, on the file "catalina.policy". After that, the Tomcat server
could be added in the Eclipse servers.

Hello, I've got the same problem.... You just have to check/adjust the
entry in Window/Preferences/Server/Runtime Environments. After doing this,
it should work...

The same symptom doesn't necessarily imply the same cause. Details will
be necessary to determine what is happening in your case.

By far, the most frequent cause is the attempt to use a Linux installed
Tomcat. These installs tend to be configured for "production" use.
This means that appropriate portions of the server are "locked down" for
security reasons. The more "locked down", the more likely you will have
this problem. Because of this "lock down", you need to be logged in as
"root" to use this server from Eclipse as a "development" server. The
simplest and probably best solution to this use case is to download a
binary Tomcat install from Apache and use that as your "development"
server and use the Linux installed Tomcat only for "production" use.

Cheers,
Larry
