Installation of Apache Tomcat Server Issue on Eclipse - eclipse

I was trying to add Tomcat 7 in my Eclipse on Mac OS X. When I click “Add new server” in Eclipse and select “Tomcat v7.0 Server”, the field “Server Name” is blank and I cannot type in anything in that textbox.
What I did before is I deleted a Tomcat 7 server from Eclipse and I was trying to reinstall Tomcat 7. But it doesn’t allow me to type anything in that textbox and I cannot proceed to the “Next” button.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on.

You are facing a problem which is a bug in eclipse. Try following, it should work:
Here is the workaround that worked for me:
Close Eclipse.
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
Restart Eclipse

Eclipse - Add Server - Next Button is disabled when I select a specific Tomcat (e.g tomcat8)

I open Servers view, right click and go to new->server menu.
When I select Tomcat 6 or Tomcat 7 the next button works well however when I select Tomcat 8 the next button is greyed out.
How can I add a tomcat 8 in this case?
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and Eclipse mars2 and the accepted answer for this question didn't work for me. I tried everthing from installing new software (extensions, unnecessary because mars already have native support for tomcat8), and adding/removing runtime environments without success.
It is a bug into Eclipse.
Here is the workaround that worked for me:
Close Eclipse
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
Restart Eclipse
Source: Eclipse add Tomcat 7 blank server name
Eventhough it says tomcat 7, it worked for the same problem with tomcat 8 too.
There are a few resource on the web about this problem but no answer on SO.
If you were never add a tomcat8 to eclipse there would be no problem just like tomcat7 or tomcat6. But there is a setting about tomcat8 and that is wrong. In that menu there is no option to reconfigure settings.
Just go to Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments and Remove or Edit the old, wrong settings. Then you will be able to add tomcat8 too!

It is a bug in Eclipse.
You can follow following steps for overcome this problem.
Close Eclipse
Go {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
Restart Eclipse
First try removing/editing respective server at
Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments
then go ahead adding new server, Even after deleting old setup on Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments - If you still have this issue while on Define a New Server from servers tab of eclipse, now try adding tomcat at Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments as we've deleted earlier & then go to Define a New Server from servers tab to create new server, this should work.
I had this issue too, and it was caused by unsufficient file-access rights to the Tomcat server installation directory.
Make sure you have read-access to all files within the Tomcat installation directory you configured in Eclipse (this can be an issue for example if you use the standard tomcat installed in Ubuntu, if you do not belong to the tomcat8 group).
Just go to Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments and Remove the server.
Try to add the server from there only. You will see another folder has been created with the same name.
Provide valid path. Restart eclipse and add server from server console.
Hope it will help..
Go to
Window->Preferences->Server->Runtime Environments
remove tomcat configuration and save.
Go to server view( Window -> show view ->server)
configure the tomcat server again.

unable to add tomcat on Eclipse

I try to add tomcat on eclipse I made window ---> preferences ---> servers-----> runtime environments then I click add. But I can't find tomcat in the list of server.
I get like in the picture. When I made some research I find that I should use version of eclipse greater then 3.7. I use eclipse 3.8 and apache-tomcat-7.0.34.
Any one can help me what can be the problem or there is another configuration?
When I install Eclipse Helios I can get the list of server.
The problem is solved

eclipse tomcat 7.0

I'm trying to set up an Apache Tomcat 7.0 server in Eclipse, but I can't get the wizard to let me create it. My NEXT button won't highlight after I select Tomcat v7.0 like so:
I don't have the same problem trying to create any other version of Tomcat, just v7.0:
Info about my system:
-I've had it up and running previously, but had to go through a reboot with my system, Eclipse was untouched as it was on a different HDD
-I've reinstalled Tomcat 7.0 twice, once to the drive containing this particular Eclipse Workspace, and once to my main OS drive, both to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here or what's going on here?
Thank you very much.
In your eclipse menu go to
window > server > runtime environments > hit add > select tomcat 7 > hit next
press browse and navigate to the installation directory
and finish. Will solve this issue.

Eclipse Juno Tomcat 6 Remote Host Not Supported

I am trying to add a tomcat 6 server in my eclipse juno but I am getting this error:
The currently selected server type does not support remote hosts
Before juno I had galileo on the same machine and I was able to add tomcat 6 successfully in it without any problems.
I searched on the internet before asking but the only relevant link i got was this:
Eclipse Tomcat7 Server Doesnt support Remote Host
and it doesn't help much.
Pls help
Thanks
I had the same problem with Tomcat 7 and I solved it by importing a Tomcat 7 project from another workspace which already had the server set up. Additionally I added a Runtime Environment for Apache Tomcat 7 (Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments > Add)
I recently had the same problem and it was because I had a previous version of tomcat installed, upgraded to a newer version, deleted to old one, and never changed the runtime environment in Eclipse. It's kind of a poor error message because it doesn't state the true nature of the problem but anyway... The easiest way to fix this is:
Open Eclipse, right click on the workspace and select New Server.
Once you are at the Define New Server wizard click on Apache and select Tomcat 6. This is where you should see the error The currently selected server type does not support remote hosts. Now below server runtime environment click Configure Runtime Environments and new popup will open. You should see Apache Tomcat v6.0 in the preferences window. Select this and click edit to the right.
You will have a new popup titled Edit Server Runtime Environment. Under Tomcat Installation Directory you can browse to the location of the tomcat directory. Assuming you have downloaded Tomcat and put it at the top level of your C: drive you should have something like this: C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.36. Click finish and you should be good to go. Let us know how it works out for you!
I also had the same problem and tried to follow #dbk's solution but I didn't have the "Configure Runtime Environments" in the wizard screen. For me I needed to go to preferences->server->run time environments where I had incorrectly configured runtime environments. So to be clear if you have runtime environments that are not configured correctly you will have to edit them first.

NetBeans IDE 7.0 <Missing Java EE Server>

I created my Java EE Project with GlassFish server and Java EE 6. It was working good when i was created the project, but i closed my netbeans(there wasn't any fault just closed the NetBeans) and started my NetBeans.
Then problem on the title has faced. And i re-installed my NetBeans
many times. So i can't solve it. PLEASE HELP ME! NETBEANS GEEKS!
I'm not sure if you solved this already but I had this same problem just now. All I did to fix it was select a new server from the list provided when you click on the 'resolve this issue' after right-clicking on your web project. I selected apache tomcat, not the bundled version but the one I installed onto my computer and setup myself. The project then accepted that as the proper server to use and ran just fine.
Right click on the project and it gives at the bottom an option to resolve Server references, so once you click there, it gives the option to add the server (tomcat or glassfish), that worked for me.
Go to the following place in your project's directory:
/home/<path-to-your-project>/nbproject/private
or
c:\<path-to-your-project>\nbproject\private
and check if the paths to GlassFish are correct in the private.properties file for the following properties:
j2ee.server.domain=
j2ee.server.home=
j2ee.server.instance=
j2ee.server.middleware=
