When I try to start Tomcat 4, I get the following error:

A configuration error occurred during startup. Please verify the preference field with the prompt: Tomcat JDK name

My setting for Tomcat JDK has j2re1.4.1_01 in the drop down list with nothing in the Optional Java VM Arguments.

The problem is that you’re using a JRE instead of a full JDK to start Tomcat. I used the forum search feature and looked for ‘Tomcat JDK’ and found this thread which details it for you.
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/starting-tomcat-from-within-myeclipse/&highlight=tomcat+jdk

Information on this is also contained in the MyEclipse User Guide’s web development tutorial.

Scott,
How do I point it to the full JDK? Also how do I modify or delete the existing TOMCAT JDK setup?

Thank you,
Dan

Good question. The JDK’s are installed in Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JRE’s. First, you need to be sure you really have a full JDK installed on your machine because your current directory, j2re1.4.1_01 is not one. We have a link on our download page to get you to a complete JDK download easily. Once that is installed, create a new entry in the preference page and set the installation directory to the top-level directory of the new JDK installation (something like j2sdk1.4.1_03, or whatever). Once that is done, go back to the Tomcat > JDK preference page and tell it to use the new one you just added.

Scott,
I added a new entry for the Tomcat JDK and now I don’t get that error.

What shows on the console from that action is below:

Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Is this correct? First line of the console saids connection refused.

[Scott Anderson]

From this trace it looked like you accidentally told the server to stop, without it being started previously.

Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused:

See, it’s from Catalina.stop, which is the stop command. The connection is being refused because Tomcat isn’t running.

How about trying to start it again.
