Hi, the server is not starting up for me. It says neither the java_home nor java_main is set up even though I have added the environment variables properly.

[@learningfromexperience]

Not sure about the exact problem but would suggest you to try the following . 1.Check the JAVA_HOME 2.Try to start the tomcat using apache-tomcat-\bin\startup.bat file . 3.Tomcat stores its log files in the logs directory within the Tomcat installation folder, e.g., C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-\logs. Check the logs .

[@phuongooooo]

If you don't see the file there you can type "mvn package" at the terminal in vscode, it will appear in the target folder

[@yatharthlashkari3166]

Can't access Manager-GUI. After opening localhost:8080 for accessing manager inputting username and password "admin" still not allowing me to access. Can you please tell me what wrong step I am taking?

[@learningfromexperience]

Not exactly sure .Would request you to enter correct uid/password and share the exact error message you are getting if still the problem exits.

[@karishmaclasses]

Sir your simpleweb.war file which type of program was stored in that so. That it was showing login page I can't understand that file please give some response

[@learningfromexperience]

I did not get your question actually .the simpleweb.war is WAR file deployed in Tomcat here .It contains few html pages and servlet java classes.

Unable to create the server: Extension backend error - could not detect any server at `path-to-tomcat\apache-tomcat-11.0.0-m6`! How do I fix this? The server files are in the mentioned directory, yet it wouldn't detect them

[@soumyaranjansahoo4100]

[@soumyaranjansahoo4100]

Solution plz

[@thatvu5568]

I want to using tomcat 10 for study but community connect server can't run and get errorr " Configuration error java.io.FileNotFoundException: 'd:\TomCatSever\apache-tomcat-10.1.7\conf\logging.properties' (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)" can i fix that

[@learningfromexperience]

It seems the Tomcat server is unable to find the logging.properties file in the specified path. Not exactly sure but you can try the following 1.Check if the apache-tomcat-10.1.7 directory is present in the TomCatSever folder on the D: drive and if the logging.properties file exists in the conf directory. 2.Update the file path in Tomcat configuration: If the path to the logging.properties file is incorrect, update the Tomcat configuration to point to the correct location. Look for the java.util.logging.config.file system property in the Tomcat startup script and update its value to the correct path. For Windows, open the catalina.bat file (located in the bin directory of your Tomcat installation) and locate the following line: set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.util.logging.config.file="%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\logging.properties"" Update the path in the -Djava.util.logging.config.file option if necessary. For Linux, open the catalina.sh file (located in the bin directory of your Tomcat installation) and locate the following line: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CATALINA_BASE/conf/logging.properties" Update the path in the -Djava.util.logging.config.file option if necessary. 3.Restart the Tomcat server: Once you have resolved the issue with the logging.properties file, restart the Tomcat server to apply the changes.

[@AlexVargas-rq7bl]

Option "run on server" does not appear to me. Do I need some special extension for that?

[@learningfromexperience]

The "Run On Server" option not appearing in Eclipse typically indicates an issue with the configuration or setup related to server runtime environments or the project itself. Following are few most common reasons and solutions: 1.Eclipse IDE Version: Ensure you are using an Eclipse version that supports server integration, such as Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers. 2.Server Runtime Environment Not Configured: Eclipse needs a server runtime environment to deploy and run web applications. Go to Window > Preferences > Server > Runtime Environments to check if a server is configured. If not, add a new server runtime environment that matches your target server (e.g., Tomcat). 3.Dynamic Web Module Facet Version: The project must be a Dynamic Web Project or have the Dynamic Web Module facet enabled with a compatible version. Right-click on the project > Properties > Project Facets > check if Dynamic Web Module is selected and set to an appropriate version.

[@Robert8989X]

I followed your steps. Once I entered user/id(admin/admin) on the login page, I got this error. Thanks ------------------- HTTP Status 404 - Not Found Type Status Report Description The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. Apache Tomcat/10.1.8

[@starkendeavours7072]

first..open the tomcat manager application and do the same as per video just for once.. and reload the page..from the next time right click on server and show in localhost:8080/ "_your directory name_"

[@anuragbotke888]

Could you please deploy my .war file on server. I’m ready to pay for it.

[@theuntoldtruth-bk8iz]

mine says "maven executable path not found"

[@learningfromexperience]

Apologies for the delayed response .There is a probability that maven is not correctly set in your system or with the VS Code. Please check this page for Maven setup related issues in VS Code github.com/microsoft/vscode-maven/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md

[@kamranastanov5016]

Thanks a lot
