Value must be an existing directory

I entered
c:\tomcat

from a command prompt I can start tomcat
with c:\tomcat\bin>startup

myeclipse has some weird personalities

I guess your missing the Tomcat Temp Directory in the connector. Is it pointing to a valid location/Directory?

FYI: A configured connector should look like this

Value must be an existing directory

tomcat base: c:\tomact
tomcat basedirectory: c:\tomcat
tomcat temp Directory: c:\tomcat\temp.

What version of Tomcat is this ? I hope your configuring the correct connector.

Would it be possible to download another version of Tomcat and test this again ?

The problem was that in the process of configuring an external Tomcat6 ,in MyEclipse,

upon browsing to the install directory of tomcat 6
myeclipse – “Blindly” – Propagated all required boxes!!!
Bad Move!!!
Most likely from a HardWired piece of Code!

tomcat6 startup screen:
Severe: Cannot find a specified temporary folder c:\tomcat\temp

but, myeclipse happily filled in c:\tomcat\temp ;as being present and accounted for!
and then “Complained that I had Bad Input” well if that don’t take the Cake!!!

What deleted temp was most likely Ace Utilities cleaner and my lack of attention
