Unable to start tomcat

[icai]

Hi,

I am using eclipse: 3.4.1 and tomcat 5.5.25.
I run the application on tomcat server created inside eclipse.

Until 3 days back I could sunccessfully use tomcat server inside eclipse but now I get following message

'Starting Tomcat v5.5 server at localhost' has encountered a problem

Server Tomcat v5.5 server at localhost was unable to start within 45 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor.

Actually server has started and I could invoke the app between this server start and timeout period. But something in eclipse terminates the server. All this time before finally stopping I can see starting ... message.

I could make timeout period as unlimited but that makes things clumsy as very often I 'll get sth like "waiting for a process to finish". At this point eclipse will hang forever.

One strange thing is it all started happening when my MAC was shutoff for the weekend. On monday morning it started giving this issue.

Please know that following things I have already tried
1) new eclipse installation
2) installing different version of eclipse
3) new tomcat installation
4) installing different tomcat version
5) increasing timeout period

Also I am able to run tomcat in standalone mode. Only when I try to use it with eclipse, I get the problem.

It has really become a huge problem for me now.

Can somebody give any pointers to get rid of this issue please ?

Thanks in advance!!

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I have the exact same problem.

Thanks

我今天也遇到同樣的問題!

我今天也遇到同樣的問題!
不記得做過什麼設定,
幾天沒用eclipse,問題就發生了

我把在服務中把DNS Client停止後
就可以正常啟動Tomcat
不過ZUL Visual Editor就不正常了
而且Run On Server的瀏覽結果也不正常
直接將rul中的 localhost
改為 127.0.0.1 就好了

目前還找不出原因
先這樣頂著用
先把案子趕出來再說

I'm having the same exact problem and there is not even a hint of solution available anywhere. Has anyone found a solution or a possible solution to this problem. This is making my IDE practically unusable.

Hey does anyone mind translating this to english?

george is just mean.

The only thing that worked for me was to create a new workspace path. So, in my case, the problem was (I guess) in the workspace configuration files.

But this is not a solution because I never knew what happened!
