Every time I open MyEclipse, I have to configure the Preferences–>MyEclipse–>Application Servers. The radio button to “Enable” Tomcat 5 does stay on “Enable”, however, when I try to click on the “Run/Stop Servers” button on the toolbar, it always reads, “No enabled servers available – see MyEclipse preferences”. So I go to the Tomcat 5 prefs page, and click “Apply”, then it becomes available.

This is annoying. Do I need to set some some other configuration? If so, which one?

Thanks!

That’s very peculiar as normally our preferences stay set quite well. Can you post your full configuration information, as requested in the Posting Guidelines thread? We’ll be glad to look into it further.

What steps did you take that resulted in the issue?

Are there any errors in the Eclipse log? (<workspace>/.metadata/.log)
There are errors in the log file, but not related to this. The errors in the log file are when I try to do a “Deploy J2EE Project to Server…” as “Packaged”. This is another issue I’m having – being unable to deploy my projects in “Packaged” format. Exploded deployment works fine.

Open MyEclipse (Eclipse), go to Window –> Preferences –> MyEclipse –> Application Servers –> enable Tomcat 5 server, click Apply. Close Eclipse and restart.

Do you also click OK to close the dialog or after clicking Apply have you been selecting cancel? If you change the setting and immediately hit OK, does the result change?

For this session, yes. But, after closing Eclipse, and reopening, the setting gets lost.

Do you not have write permissions to the location MyEclipse is installed to? The fact that these work for the session only makes me thing that the value is set correctly in memory, and when the result is going to be written to the file it craps out silently… anything about file permission in the log? Is this machine on a domain? Or is it your personal desktop and shouldn’t have any permission errors?

[Herbie Wilson]

Man, I don’t know what’s up with this, but I installed everything at home, and everything works fine. Settings persist before and after opening/closing Eclipse.

So, this morning I uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Settings are working just fine now. ??? Weird

You can’t rule out the possibility that your computer was just… well mad at you for something. I’m glad to hear you two are playing nice together again 🙂

I’m getting the same problem. I enable Tomcat 4 (same story with Tomcat 5) and deploy. After closing eclpise/MyEclpse and reopening I get the “No Enabled Servers Available See MyEclipse Preferences” when I try to start Tomcat 4. Which file are those preferences stored in?

I’m running…
MyEclipse: Version: 3.9.310 Build id: 20050808-4.0-Milestone-3
Eclpse: Version: 3.1.0 Build id: I20050627-1435

jhausler,
Is your workspace stored on a network drive? Could this be a permissions issue? What OS?

Also did you try restarrting with the -clean option?
