Tomcat server setting with Intellij

I searched about how to set Tomcat as my project's server but still haven't figured out so let me ask you why.

I have Tomcat but get error message which say "the selected directory is not a valid Tomcat home".

Question

Can you suggest reasons why I might get this message?

Where are Tomcat server logs IntelliJ?

For Tomcat the actual logs are placed under CATALINA_BASE/logs directory. The value of the CATALINA_BASE set by IntelliJ IDEA will be printed in the console of the Run or Debug tool window. You can also find the log files under idea. system.

How do I start Tomcat in debug mode IntelliJ?

Setup IntelliJ to Debug Tomcat Now switch to the “Startup/Connection” tab and select “Debug” and set the debugging port. Note: 8000 is the default debugging port for Tomcat when using the jpda command. Now click “Apply” and “OK“.

You need to select a subdirectory of your current directory, which contains tomcat executables.

In my case it was /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/8.0.32/libexec
