so I've manually installed tomcat version 9.0.10 and the newest java JDK.
I've correctly added the manager-gui and admin-gui users. i have went into the server.xml files and found that all the ports were correct.. (connecting to default port 8080) I had to do []# unset CATALINA_HOME or else it wouldn't let me start tomcat so I did and it started but when I went to the browser and typed in the localhost:8080 it didn't show, it only says firefox could not establish connection with server localhost:8080 so I went into logs to see if there were any errors and sure enough there was an error like so: /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-9.0.10/bin/catalina.sh: line 464: /usr/bin/Java/jdk-10.0.2/bin/bin/java does not exist.. and its probably right why would there be /bin/bin/ like that in a directory.. so i went into the catalina.sh file copied what it had inside into a blank file in documents and went to line 464 (txt editor numbered the lines for me) and what i found was this line at 464: eval $_NOHUP "\"$_RUNJAVA" "\"$LOGGING_CONFIG\"" $LOGGING_MANAGER $JAVA_OPTS %CATALINA_OPTS\
but I have no idea what to do about it.. i think i might have a path problem or could be a port problem but I don't think so... I've installed apache and it works great in the browser with localhost.. could that affect the tomcat access maybe?
anyway, id really appreciate any help I can get.. I'm very new to this by the way. I'm sorry, I couldn't copy and paste from my virtual machine so I had to type it. im on centos 7.
I think you are looking for tomcat deployment page where you can manage your artifact. If that is correct
First thing you need to check is that whether your installation contains tomcat manager application.
You can verify this by looking in to this path ("apache-tomcat-9.0.10\webapps\manager") If this path is absent you may have to reinstall your tomcat.
Try downloading the zip from the below path and start the server.
If you are trying to deploy your custom application you may have to provide the context path for accessing you application. Also you can verify the deployment by looking in to the above path. For eg: if you are trying to deploy test.war then a folder named test will appear in the webapp folder.
Hope this helps.
Can anyone please explain the below problem.
I'm using tomcat 8 and when I'm trying to start startup.bat file, the command prompt is opening and closing immediately just like blinking. However in the past while I'm working with java programs it worked fine but recently I installed Xampp and there in it again tomcat is downloaded "C:\xampp\tomcat". The same problem comes here in this folder as well, when I try to run startup.bat file. But when I use "XAMPP control panel" to start the Tomcat its able to get start and I'm getting "localhost:8080" start page in the browser.
The connector port for both tomcats are 8080 and I tried with changing the port number in tomcat 8 but no use. There should not be 2 tomcat servers in a single system? If not, why? (I've not installed them, both are in C drive)
I want to work with java servlet programs now.So I need use of tomcat. I've set below environment user varibles:
JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65;
path to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65\bin;C:\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin
Please suggest the solutions.
Thanks in advance.
I think you should check the tomcat log to find some clues, it is in log folder of your tomcat installation folder. Maybe you have missed some startup variable in start.bat for your new installed things.
BTW, if you want to keep seeing what happened in startup, try to run startup.bat in a command line console, but not double click it through your mouse. It will continue on generating log output in that console.
I'm working on a school project, about web apps with servlets, running on tomcat etc. This morning, without an apparent reason i try to start tomcat from C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.2\bin "startup" but the cmd opens up for a millisecond showing
Unable to determine the location of Tomcat and closes again.
I had set it up and it was working fine up until now!! I have tried to restore the system to a previous point, but it only got worse, the paths were gone and messed up. I googled the cmd message, but shockingly it did not spawned any relevant responses.
Any ideas?
Try using service tomcat6 start

Set CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE as system variables and point them at your Tomcat directory.
I see that problems like mine have been posted before, some of which posts were answered. I've attempted the fixes, which indeed seem like they should have worked, but I'm still running into the same problem:
I'm trying to run a dynamic web project in Eclipse Kepler (Java EE) via apache tomcat 7.0.53 on my localhost. I've created tomcat as a server in Eclipse, and copied the config files from /tomcat/7.0.53/libexec/conf into /workspace/Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config, and changed the permissions on the files so that they are all readable and writeable.
However, when I try to start the tomcat server in eclipse, I get this error:
Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at /Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config. The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete.
In case it's helpful, it's all being run in mac osx 10.6.8, on a 64-bit machine.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am facing this issue. I have fixed as following way,
Step 1: Delete server at local host(Server tab)
Step 2: Delete Servers folder in (navigator/project explorer)
Step 3: After add New->server->Apache->choose path
Step 4: start the server
After it will work......
How to solve:
1.Close Eclipse
2.Copy all files from TOMCAT_7_HOME/conf to WORKSPACE_FOLDER/Servers/Tomcat v7.0.53 Server at localhost-config
3.Start Eclipse
4.Expand the Servers project, click on the Tomcat 7 project and hit F5
5.Start Tomcat from Eclipse
Go to Server --> Apache Tomcat v7.0 --> Add
Select jre7 instead of Workbench default JRE
Click on Finish
Stop Server and then Start Server
This is a permissions problem (I had the same issue in ubuntu 14.04, eclipse luna, tomcat7). The executable files are not marked as "executable" when tomcat is donwloaded from eclipse.
Just go to your "[tomcat]/bin" directory in your file system and add execution permission (x) to all .sh files. Then go back to eclipse/servers tab, delete the tomcat7 entry an create again, finally start tomcat from eclipse.
This same problem happened to me before then i got solution for config load error:
it can be solved Right click on Project-> Build Path-> Configure Build Path->go Library tab-> Add External Jar-> browse (Apache TomCat Folder->lib->and add servlet-api.jar) add click ok. it run fine for me.
Unfortunately, this is not much of an answer. I finally never got this working with eclipse Kepler. However, when I installed linux mint on my computer, and used its software installer to install linux 3.8 (indigo), added all the EE updates (all the web/xml additions via help-->install new software-->indigo update site), installed tomcat 7.0, I finally got eclipse to play nice with tomcat (that is, I can run the webapp on tomcat from eclipse, without copy/pasting all the requisite files into tomcat, which is saving me a boatload of time).
I'm sure there is a better way to do this - if anyone has any thoughts about what may have gone wrong in my initial environment, please advise - I'm curious why it didn't work. Here were the specs:
MacOS 10.6.8
Eclipse 4.3.2
Tomcat 7.0.54
My apologies, Raju, for not responding sooner. Thanks for your post.
How to solve:
Close Eclipse
Copy all files from TOMCAT_7_HOME/conf to WORKSPACE_FOLDER/Servers/Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config
Start Eclipse
Expand the Servers project, click on the Tomcat 7 project and hit F5
Start Tomcat from Eclipse
I found that this is a good old fashion directory naming convention problem. I'm running Linux Ubuntu and noticed that right under {your work space}/Servers there appeared a strange error type file when I opened it had all kinds of chunks of the crazy long directory name "Tomcat 7.0 Server... bla bla" So I deleted the Server, then made use of this little ditty cause my version also won't let me re-add the server again:
1. Close Eclipse
2. In {workspace-directory}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings delete the following two files:
org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core.prefs
3. Restart Eclipse
Then I re-added the server using a friendlier server name without any crazy spaces or chars: Tomcat7ServerAtLocalHost
The wella... it started with a brand new error for me to debug... which means I'm on the right track... BTW, the new error is: "Cannot publish to the server because it is missing its runtime environment."
So I'm off to debug that mess... Cheers!
This problem is mostly associated with file permissions. So the best way to solve the problem is to install a local copy of Tomcat on your development machine instead of putting Tomcat in a system directory such as /usr/share/tomcat7. This way all Tomcat conf files belong to the user and user group so that it can be run from Eclipse by the user. I normally place Tomcat at my local folder such as /home/abc/dev and it works perfectly with Eclipse development environment.
For me the only solution that works is this solution suggested here:
Could not load the Tomcat server configuration
cd /usr/share/tomcat7
sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/conf conf
sudo ln -s /var/log/tomcat7 log
sudo ln -s /etc/tomcat7/policy.d/03catalina.policy conf/catalina.policy
sudo chmod -R a+rwx /usr/share/tomcat7/conf
I have a java application, which has to run as windows service.
I am able to install the service using the following command.
"%EXECUTABLE%" //IS//%SERVICE_NAME% --StartClass %STARTER% --StopClass %STOPPER% %START_PARAMS% %STOP_PARAMS%
The service is installed successfully but when i try to run it it shows Failed to create java. path also it is not showing in the jkartha log file.
I have JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to jdk1.5.
and even i copied msvcr71.dll to windows\system32 folder and restarted the PC.
I am running this on windows 2008 server.
I didn't install apache tomcat server. prunsrv.exe and procmgr.exe i just copied.
Please suggest me how i need to overcome this problem.
whether to run application as windows service, prunsrv.exe, prunmgr.exe are enough is it? I am able to successfully install but not able to start why???
You probably need to set your service to run as the user that installed Java, otherwise it won't find its environment variables.
If you must run in the default Local System account, then you can run a batch file that sets up the environment and then launches java.exe.
