Hi I am having some trouble deploying a project to my tomcat 6 server. I have spent the past couple hours searching through threads and i can see anyone with the same problem as me, so i can only assume its very basic. Normally this is not something i would be experimenting with (tomcat 6 and such) but I am an intern at a software development company and naturally everyone feels obliged to go out of their way to avoid providing any help other than telling me they were able to get the application running in 5 minutes. Anyway more to the point
My problem is that I am trying to deploy an Enterprise Application Project to my tomcat 6 server. I follow instructions on another website to set up my tomcat server and i belive its running properly (can get to it through localhost:8080) but i can’t seem to set it up right in myeclipse. What i did for set up was go to MyEclipse > Preferences > Enterprise Workbench > Servers > Tomcat > Tomcat 6.x, and manually set the paths to where my tomcat files are located. The server appears in the server tab, but I am unable to add deployments to it. This might not be an error with the setup, I am not entirely sure. But the one thing that really bothers me about this is that when i go to the “Project Deployments” window, none of my servers (the new one or the standard 2) are in there, only the Project i am trying to add is in the combobox, the grid view is blank however. Any ideas on what i am doing wrong/how to fix it?

Hex21189,
You are trying to deploy an Enterprise Application to tomcat. You need use J2ee server(Application Server) to deploy this enterprise application.
If no application servers are configured, the list of servers will be empty when deploying an EAR application.
I would recommend you to go through our educational material on enterprise application here – http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/earprojects/
