Hi,

After following the guide in MyEclipse_Application_Server_quickstart to configure Tomcat 5 on my Eclipse 3.1 with JDK 1.4 and EnterpriseWorkbench 4.1.1, starting the Tomcat server failed with the following message:

I could start the Tomcat outside the Eclipse IDE. Please help. Thanks.

Dien,
Under Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Application Servers, which connector did you configure? Tomcat 4 or Tomcat 5? If you select the one you configured, and tell me all the values you set there (copy-paste them here for me).

Also under Launch is it set to Debug mode? Under the JDK setting, which JDK did you configure to launch Tomcat? and under Paths did you change or add anything to any of the 3 boxes? If so, what?

Hi Riyad,

My problem has been resolved. It was caused by the firewall software that blocked the javaw.exe to access to any IP port. I used to have Eclipse, MyEclipse etc running on my old PC with no problem, the difference is the firewall on my old PC was configured differently (more relax than the new PC).

Cheers,
Dien

Glad it’s working.
