I’m having trouble configing the Tomcat 5 prefs to get it to recongnize the home directory.

My details:

win2k
eclipse 3
tomcat 5

I’m following your helloworld example to do my first project. When I attempt to deploy my project, I get an error msg:

‘selected server is enabled, but is not configured properly. Deployment to it will nto be permitted until the problem is corrected. Please navigate to the server preferences pages and verify the field with the prompt: Tomcat Home Directory’

I then go to the prefs page under Tomcat 5 and browse to my webroot directory on my computer which is:

C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\webapps

However, when I set this dir, I get an error ‘value must be an existing directory’

No directory I pick will allow me to set the home dir.

So apparently I’m doing something wrong???

thanks

Kevin,
The tomcat home dir is actually C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27, that will take care of the rest for you.
