无法在centos 6中安装的eclipse中运行jsp项目

Question

I have installed eclipse-jee-luna-R-linux-gtk-x86_64 in my centos 6 and also installed tomcat 6.

My problem is that i am not able to run jsp project.when i right click on my project and select run on server a window appears with disable radio button of choose an existing server

I have also added Apache Tomcat from window prefrences option in eclipse. what should i do? Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

This is because you haven't installed any apache server in your machine.

Check here how to install apache on centOS.

then you will be able to select installed version.

Answer 2

I just solved a similar problem on a fresh install of Eclipse Luna on CentOS 7.

In my case, the root of the problem of not being able to (a) see an existing server that has been defined in Window -> Preferences -> Server and/or to (b) create a new server from to page you have shown above, was a permission problem that I found when I tried to create a new server from the Webcontent page I wanted to run on the server.

All installation guides I've seen suggest to install Tomcat in /opt/whatever-your-Tomcat-version-is . Starting the server usually requires root privileges or defining a group or user combination with appropriate privileges to start/stop Tomcat. If you're logged in as non-root-user and try to start Tomcat via Eclipse, your user privileges most likely do not allow you to start Tomcat.

I solved my problem by first copying Tomcat into my workspace and changing the ownership...

cp -R /opt/whatever-your-Tomcat-version-is ~/workspace/ 

chown -R your-username:your-username ~/workspace/whatever-your-Tomcat-version-is

...and then pointing Eclipse to use that instance of Tomcat. This worked immediately and I was able to start/stop the server and run my test webapp.

Note: You have to make sure that no other Tomcat is running on your system (eg if configured to start automatically after boot, eg by using ps -ax | grep tomcat ), else the Tomcat startup fails because of port conflicts (which can be prevented if you change port definitions in your Tomcat config file).

BTW, one more suggestion: Tomcat 6 is outdated because of the JDK dependencies (1.5) that are no longer supported. I suggest you use the latest Tomcat 7 with JDK 1.7 (not 1.6 as suggested on the Tomcat 7 home page -- as 1.6 is also outdated and longer supported).
