Server configuration is missing in Eclipse

Question

Im using Eclipse Galileo, and have configured it for Apache Tomcat . I have added Apache Tomcat 6.0 to Windows->Server->Runtime Environments, with the following settings:

Tomcat Installation Directory - C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.24\apache-tomcat-6.0.24 JRE - Workbench Default JRE (This points to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6) 

Now, I create a Dynamic Web Project, and add a JSP file to it. But, when I run the project I get the following error:

The Tomcat server configuration at \Servers\Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost-config is missing. Check the server for errors. 

Any way to fix this?

Answer 1

Probably, you have some problems with your server's configuration. Follow these steps to remove and create a new one, it might help you.

In Eclipse
1. Window -> Show view -> Servers (If you cannot see it, you might need to choose Others -> Server)
2. From Server view -> Delete the server which has problems.
3. Right click -> New -> Server : to create a new one

In my case, after new server was created, I get rid of this "localhost-config is missing"

Answer 2

I faced the same problem once. THe reason for this is that even though the server is available, the config files are missing. You can see the server at Windows -> Show view -> Servers. Their configuration files can be seen at Project Explorer -> Servers. For some reason this second mentioned config files were missing.

I simply deleted the existing server and created a new one with this the config files were also created and the problem was solved!
