Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 101 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor.
This is my error. I changed time from 45 secs to 101 secs, but the problem remains. I removed eclipse and tomcat and I re-installed again but the same problem occurs; how can I fix this?
Try remove all breakpoints.Also you can increase start up time.
Open the Servers view -> double click tomcat -> drop down the Timeouts section
I got the solution for your requirement.
I'm also getting the same error in my eclipse Luna.
Go to Window -> Preferences.
Then General -> Network Connections.
Then select the Active Provider as Manual.
Then restart the tomcat and run. It will work.
Hope it will help you.
Open servers view, open Timeouts and set up Start
Open the Servers view -> double click tomcat -> drop down the Timeouts section
you can increase the startup time for each particular server. like 45 to 450
I know it's a bit late, but I've tried everything above and nothing worked. The real problem was that I'm using hibernate, so it was trying to connect to mysql but was not able, thats why it showed time out.
Just to let u guys know, I'm using RDS(Amazon), so just to make a test I changed to my local mysql and it worked perfectly.
Hope that this answer helps somebody.
Thanks.
In my case I was using spring+hibernate and forgot to run my MYSQL server due to which hibernate was not getting loaded and thus was throwing error
Disabling my antivirus does the trick for me ...
I also had the issue of the Eclipse Tomcat Server timing out and tried every suggestion including:
increasing timeout seconds
deleting various .metadata files in workspace directory
deleting the server instance in Eclipse along with the Run Config
Nothing worked until I read a comment on a related issue and realized that I had added a breakpoint in an interceptor class after a big code change and had forgotten to toggle it off. I removed it and all other breakpoints and Tomcat started right up as it usually did.
Just go with below points.
Open Eclipse Windows -> show View -> server -> double click tomcat/press Fn + F3 -> Timeouts -> increase start time
Save setting and Restart eclipse also delete .metadata folder from work space if you don't need
Check Now... All The Best
Folks, I had this same problem and tried raising the timeout, deleting the server and creating again and did not work. I was running Eclipse Kepler in Linux. The solution proposed by #Phoenix is what worked for me:
Window -> Preferences -> General -> Network Connections
Set Active Providers in manual and then configure or not the proxy. I had this option in "Native".
Then I realized I had the variable http_proxy set. It was set in the ~/.bashrc file. This environment variable is the culprit of many problems.
Once I set http_proxy to empty
export http_proxy=
to check it:
echo $http_proxy
I was able to leave option "Active Provider" in "Native" and solve the timeout problem. This is useful because Eclipse adopts the native configuration, in case you change it often.
In my case, where I had configured http_proxy in ~./bashrc, I had to close Eclipse and even log out and log in again.
Below worked for me.
Removed all Breakpoints. Then did a clean on server as below.
Right click on server-->Click clean.
I had tried increasing the Server Start up time for tomcat server, removed server and created new server, removed server and changed run-time environment configurations. Those thing didn't work for me. At last, i found deployment descriptor(url pattern of servlet-mapping) is the one that making the trouble.
Just remove or delete the server from eclipse and reconfigure it or add it again to Eclipse.
I had the same problem I deleted the server from the server tab, and also the server folder under your eclipse workspace, restarted eclipse, set up a new server, and it appears to be running OK now.
Just for knowledge..
Also had the same issue and solved it stopping and starting again the mysql service... I think that was some conflict between mysql-service and tomcat.
Good Luck
If some one had the same issue like me about the timeout of the server where you can found it. This response can help you.
Click on window > Show View > Server.
When you are on the server, you will see the server that you have configured before.
After that, right click on your server configuration, go to Properties > General and click on Switch Location.
After you clicking on "Switch Location", the server configuration will be appear on the Package Explorer of eclipse.
Then Double click on the server file in the package explorer you will see where the timeout located.
Thank you.
None of the above worked for me but this -
1. Remove any project if configured already while installing Tomcat.
2. Right click on configured server -> clean and -> Clean tomcat working directory
Did couple of times and the issue resolved.
Thanks.
In my case tomcat was configured to start not on localhost(guess it came from servers.xml connector entry) so Eclipse fails to find it running after start. Changed Host name on Servers tab to my 192.168.xxx.yyy ip.
Had the same error message, though tomcat did start sucessfully, but then Eclipse shuts it down.
try clean Tomcat working directory,it works for me
Well, I tried all the solutions:
increasing timeout seconds;
deleting the server instance in Eclipse along with the Run Config.
None of them worked.
And:
there was no breakpoint in my code;
I don't use any antivirus.
I realized that some people - who had the same problem - were using Eclipse Helios (so was I).
I switched to Eclipse Kepler and it worked perfectly.
Maybe it can be a solution. I wanted to use Helios, but Kepler is okay.
I was too facing similar issue and here I found another solution for it.
I have just started Eclipse Luna and not developed/deployed any project yet. I tried adding Tomcat v7.0 Server and got same error.
In order to resolve the issue I went to Server Perspective (it's actually server tab next to the console tab located below Project code). Double click on Server which is added to Eclipse. It will open up Overview page. Look for Server Location and select Use workspace metadata(does not modify Tomcat location). Now restart the Server and error will go away.
Server > (double click) Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost > (Overview page) Server Location > Select -- Use workspace metadata(does not modify Tomcat location).
URL pattern of <servlet-mapping>:
Check project explorer → Deployment descriptor → Servlet Mapping → check that all mapping present in controller package. ref. image as below:
if there is any mapping not available, Then remove that <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> tag in web.xml.
Is your browser making calls to the server while it is starting? if yes, you probably should close it
e.g. if your browser is currently set to http://localhost, close it before attempting to start the server.
If you are trying to debug the application on server, just check out the breakpoints. You might had include the whole class as breakpoint. So remove that breakpoint.
This thing worked in my case when i was trying to debug.
Nothing of the above helped me but setting:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
as VM Argument in the VM Arguments tab of the Tomcat Server Debug Configuration Settings
solved the problem.
(Tomcat 8, Windows 10, Eclipse Mars)
Tomcat Server not starting with in 45 seconds
right click on the configured server go to properties->select monitoring -> Add ->HTTP protocol 8080
after run server it will deploy.
I stoped the tomcat on the computer and started the service (tomcat) using the eclipse IDE.
Turns out that MySQL wasn't running in my case. I've started MySQL service, and it worked.
Timeouts:
Start: 200
Stop: 45
..and then Window → Preferences → General → Network Connection.
Set "Active Provider" = Manual (to mark all the checkboxes).
If you are running into this on Mac and you installed Tomcat using brew, one good way to get round that is to install Tomcat using a zip file instead.
Go here, download a zip file, unzip it, and in Eclipse, create a new server and specify "Tomcat installation directory" as the unzipped file.
I'm running Tomcat 7 on Eclipse Indigo. Every now and then, Tomcat times out on start-up. A hit-and-miss solution I've found is to run Tomcat with the same server name and host name. I do this repeatedly and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've also tried rotating HTTP ports between 8080, 9080, and 8081 but, as far as I'm concerned, this problem does not depend on the port. I'm also sure that the only Tomcat running is Eclipse's; I check my Task Manager. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a more trusty method to avoid this?
Of course, I've done my own research and found threads like this (the closest one I found to my set-up and symptoms). However, as I've already stated, I've been rotating through ports (I'll note that my rotation often includes the Admin port and the AJP to 8005/9005 and 8009/9009, respectively) but still to no avail.
I've also tried increasing the start-up timeout interval of Tomcat and got as far as 120s before I realized that determining the interval that won't cause a timeout is like some kind of Halting Problem.
And I've also tried cleaning the server, deleting and creating a new one, etc. but it still times out unless I get lucky with the hit-and-miss trick described above.
For instance, just recently, I've had a case of that Eclipse glitch where in the editor marks your syntax wrong even when it isn't. This time, refreshing and close-opening the concerned file didn't work. Since I can't stand those jagged lines, I took to extreme measures and restarted Eclipse. Upon restart, the file is indeed flawless in the editor. But Tomcat times out on start up, to my dismay.
Any suggestions?
#skytreader - I figured out the issue! At least for me, I run a local proxy server (CNTLM to pass NTLM credentials to internal websites). When you start tomcat in eclipse what triggers the "started" mode in Eclipse is a ping to the port it is an attempted connection to the server port (i.e. 8080). Apparently there are issues doing that in eclipse when running a local system proxy.
I'd recommend you set your Eclipse proxy settings to DIRECT. If you're using Windows, you can set your system proxy using proxycfg.
I have reinstalled java JDK 6.0.25,(after some problems installing java, finally succeeded). I have set paths (JAVA_HOME points to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25 and in Path also added C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin).
In eclipse I have pointed everything to this new JDK, also in servers. When I have installed Glassfish 3.1, after installation the domain wasn't created. So when I add this server in Eclipse, the domain wasn't found.
So I did extract an ZIP version of Glassfish and in Eclipse configure the server to this ZIPPED Glassfish. Also I have installed tomcat 7.0.14 again and add to eclipse but both did not work.
Main problem: When I start Tomcat or Glassfish in Eclipse they don't start. Tomcat is starting but after 45 seconds it says, that the time is run out. I have read the forums to increase starting time, I have putted it to 240 sec, but it does not work, because it pop out error in which sazs, that the port is already used by a different server.
By Glassfish, when I start it, its starting, but after few minutes gives me error: Failed to start. It looks like some ports or something is blocking this servers. I have turned off firewall also and antivirus but nothing.
I have looked all the forum about "not starting Glassfish or Tomcat" but didn't found the solution. I don't want to reinstall windows for this.
So if anyone know anything about this problem, please HELP.
Update:
I've tried to change the ports in domain.xml and checked with netstat -b (everything was established), but the server (Glassfish) didn't start. It shows an error "Server GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3 (Java EE 6) at localhost failed to start.". I've also tried install "built in Eclipse" Glassfish from marketspace and from "Install new software" from eclipse, but it comes out with the same error. Currently, for needs I'm using XP Mode in Windows 7, there servers work, without any problems.
It seems your installation odyssey messed up your system.
But you should get it working without reinstalling Windows. Maybe the fragment of an old server installation blocks the ports Glassfish and Tomcat need for operation.
Try the following:
Check which ports your "new" servers try to access (should be something like 8080 and should be written in server logs during startup)
Use netstat -b (from cmd started with admin rights) to check which application blocks this / these ports (could be java.exe if there is an old installation still hanging)
Remove the old installation (uninstall or disable service)
Try again to start your new server(s).
Try tell to GF or TC to bind the default web listener other port than 8080, because this is a root of problem.
I doesn't know well TC, but in GF case, this is very easy. Simply edit $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml and find something similar:
<network-listener port="8080" protocol="http-listener-1" transport="tcp" name="http-listener-1" thread-pool="http-thread-pool"></network-listener>
And replace 8080 with other port (but not same with TC). In your case I could choose 8888 which is easy to remember but you can pretty sure this is differs from TC's port.
Note: Edit this file before you start GF!
When I start a Weblogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.1) in the server tab in Eclipse (3.4.2) I immediately get an error popup: Starting ... has encounterd a problem. Server ... failed to start.
However the starting continues and the server ends up in RUNNING mode after some 8 seconds.
No ears deployed, fresh domain and/or server instance.
It used to work fine and I didn't change any configuration as far as I am aware.
Any ideas?
A new server runtime makes no difference. But when I start the server in debug mode, there is no error popup.
When I start the server normally the error pops up and the server starts in debugging state. Remarkable, because while creating the server runtime I did not check the box "always start Weblogic Server in debug mode".
A new workspace and new server runtime solved the problem.
Maybe your Server Runtime is corrupted. Try to drop it and recreate it.
Also, try adding a -clean option to your eclipse startup.
