So I installed tomcat using this tutorial (instructions from 0:00 to 3:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyd9EoO-1nk
Later I restarted my computer and now when I go into "eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments -> Add" I have here only "Basic" and "GlassFish" directories. Somebody have maybe idea how to make visible tomcat here?
I also installed tomcat using "sudo apt-get install tomcat7" but it also didn't help. But when I go into "localhost:8080" I see "It works! If you're seeing this page via a web browser...".
First part, the tomcat installation
You installed tomcat in your linux as a service. I mean your tomcat 7 is installed, start when you start your OS, and stop when you stop your OS.
You can check this by looking in /etc/init.d/, you must have a tomcat script (and you can control it by doing /etc/init.d/tomcat start|stop|restart). If you want to use this tomcat, I recommend you to
stop tomcat (as root, /etc/init.d/tomcat stop),
remove the tomcat script (as root, rm /etc/init.d/tomcat) to avoid a
tomcat start when the ubuntu boots
Locate the tomcat instance installation. find / -name tomcat
-print will print you all the directory where files named tomcat are located. Identify the tomcat root directory, which is the root
to give to eclipse.
Else you can just remove tomcat (apt-get remove tomcat7), download a tomcat release from tomcat.apache.org and untar it where you want. I prefer this method, because the tomcat installation won't have any "root" o weird user permission, more convenient when you're developing.
Second part, the eclipse configuration:
In the "Add Runtime Environment" windows, you'd have a link Download additional server adapters. If you click it (with a working network connection), eclipse will propose you to download the tomcat adapter. Install it and you'll be capable to add a new tomcat server.
If it doesn't work, I think you may reinstall your eclipse...
Hope this helps

I'm currently using Eclipse Mars on OS X to build a PHP based application which requires a web server for a form submission. However, upon attempting to add Tomcat 7.0 as a server, the server list is empty (shown below).
I've been following several tutorials for setting up and configuring a Tomcat server and each one says to place the extracted Tomcat folder in the Eclipse workspace directory so they'll be detected when adding them in Eclipse. The Apache Tomcat folder is in the workspace directory but it still isn't being detected. I've tried reinstalling Eclipse and deleting any duplicate files but I keep getting the same result. How can I properly set up and configure an Apache Tomcat server in Eclipse Mars?
You can tell it about the Tomcat installation using the Server Runtime Environments preference page.
If Tomcat isn't already a known server type, you might need to install a few more. The WTP FAQ has instructions.
All of those tutorials are wrong. You do want to download a copy of Tomcat from Apache so it has the expected layout when Eclipse looks for the jars needed to launch it, but there's no reason to actually put it in the workspace.
I am also using Eclipse neon and I faced the same problem and the answer was available in a question Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments in the same site already posted
Of the Available Answers the below steps Worked for me:
1.Help-->Eclipse Marketplace
2.Type Tomcat in search box and choose the Option JST Server Adapters(Apache Tomcat,...) and click on Install
3.Then complete the Simple installation steps and after installation Eclipse prompts for a restart accept and then you can see the Target Run time updated with Tomcat server
Note:I am using Windows
I am using Eclipse Juno and installed GlassFish Server 3.1.2 on Windows 7 under C:\glassfish3. Glassfish is running fine and I am able to visit the admin panel under localhost:4848/common/index.jsf. Morevoer I am able to deploy a war file and can start the application. My external GlassFish-server seems ok!
If I want to add a new Server to my Eclipse Juno environment I come to a screen where I can pick a GlassFish variant and afterwards I need to set a JRE and an Application Server Directory. I can't set a path for the Application Server Directory that my eclipse wizard lets me finish the configuration. Thanks in advance for further information!
UPDATE: I got this error message in the wizard after setting the application server directory path to C:\glassfish3\glassfish like it is proposed here: https://glassfishplugins.java.net/eclipse36/#1
There is no valid GlassFish installation in the specified directory. Click the Install Server button to download and install to that directory.
I recently migrated to Netbeans 7.0(with glassfish 3.1) from 6.9(with glassfish 3.0). After that glassfish server ran just for the first time and when I restarted netbeans, since then, it doesnt show glassfish in the servers list.
Now when I am trying to add my already installed server to netbeans, on pointing to installation location of server, it says C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1(my glassfish installation directory) does not have a usable default domain.
Then on selecting : Register Local Domain it asks for:
Enter the path to a directory that will contain a new domain.
On selecting any directory, it says : Unsupported domain at C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1; Admin-listener is disabled or no enabled http-listener
How do I rectify this and add Glassfish support to my netbeans 7.0 ?
I just had the exact same problem and I managed to solve it this way:-
Just run NetBeans as Administrator & try again repeating your steps, everything will work!
I think that NetBeans doesn't have a right to create folders outside of it's own if you don't run it as an Administrator.
This issue also occurred for me in UNIX using GlassFish 4.1.1.
My fix involved gaining write privileges to my GlassFish folder (located for me in /usr/local/glassfish-4.1.1). This can be done by using the chmod command, which requires sudo access if not the owner.
I had same issue but this time Netbeans 8 with Glassfish 4.x win7, the way I solved it is below:
No need to run netbeans as administrator.
No need to dowload the Glassfish zip file, you'll dowload through netbeans IDE.
-create a dir where you'll place your glassfish installation files. In my case (win7) is:
C:\glassfish4
-Enter glassfish ide, go to Services / Servers / Add Server
-when Netbeans request your GlassFish location, browse the one we created above.
-select "Remote Domain"
-mark "I have read and accept licence agreement"
-press "Download" and select glasfish 4, ok.
this should start dowloading the Glasfish Server, just complete configurations steps.
This happens when Java EE is not activated in the IDE. In the Services window, the Servers node is then empty. The node allows to add a new server, and in the process activates Java EE. Now when trying to register, the IDE discovers that it already has the selected server, refusing to register it twice. Just cancel and use the existing server in the refreshed Servers node.
I want to add a tomcat server to eclipse.
I follow these instructions:
firstly, In Sever tabs I right click and there's New > Server
I select tomcat 7 and leave the other options default, which are host name, name, runtime environment. Here, I would expect to be prompted to specify installation path - like c:\tomcat or anything
I click finish
There's error popup - Could not load server configuration at conf.....
Thanks for helping me...
Probably missing JST Server Adapters from WTP available from eg. http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo.
Cft. Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments
Worked for me. Was getting the same Could not load server configuration at conf message with Eclipse 3.7 Indigo (ColdFusion IDE).
Installed Tomcat 6 on Win 7.
Stop any Tomcat instances running.
Define a new server, choosing Tomcat 6.
Click Configure runtime environments...
Remove any environments.
Click Seach...
Point to Tomcat dir: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0
(Should find it) Then click OK and Finish.
Start Tomcat from Eclipse.
FYI, Glassfish wasn't working for me in Eclipse so I went with Tomcat.
I have installed Tomcat 7 server on Windows on port 8088.
Now I have added the server in Eclipse.
But I am not sure whether I need to keep the Tomcat running by going in the Tomcat directory or I have to close that and run from Eclipse?
And how will Eclipse know that I have setup the Tomcat on port 8088?
In the server view, you can double-click on your tomcat server and change the ports. This means that the folder where you have tomcat running (CATALINA_HOME) can still be used run Tomcat "production" and eclipse will use the same binaries to run within WTP. However, all other folders will be confiurable for your "dev" instance.
Actually you'd better change the settings to make sure there is no collision between eclipse ports and the ports declared at windows level.
Another simple solution is to stop tomcat at the windows level. Eclipse will take care of its own instance.
Other useful settings you can modify are the timeouts (in debug it's sometimes necessary), the deploy folder and even add some more web apps (modules tab).
do i need to keep the tomcat running
by going in the tomcat directory or i
have to close that and run from
eclispe.
No you don't need to keep tomcat running outside. You can run/stop it whenever you want from eclipse.
how will eclipse know that i have
setup the 8088 port
You will find project named Server or Servers; depends on eclipse version; in your workspace; in which you have added tomcat. It has tomcat configuration file which tells eclipse how to manage tomcat. It has a file called server.xml which contain port information that is on which port tomcat will run.
