The selected directory is not a valid tomcat home windows - Доктор Windows

I installed Tomcat with home brew brew install tomcat. On Selecting Tomcat server to add a server to the application server I get this

Warning the selected directory is not a valid tomcat home.

However, running catalina start starts the tomcat server on my terminal.

If you are using IDEA on Linux platform, use the command:

chmod 755 -R apache-tomcat-<<Your-tomcat-version>>

Then try to restart your service again.

Try selecting the libexec subdirectory in IntelliJ — i.e. /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/8.5.9/libexec

Problem:

This happens because intellijIDEA doesn’t have enough permission
to read and write on the tomcat home folder, this happens on linux machines.

Solution

let your tomcat root folder = «/opt/tomcat»
then this command which will set the right privilege level for intellijIDEA.

$ sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/tomcat

Step 1.

Download the tomcat with the tar.gz extension.
NB. The tar.gz extention

Step 2.

Unzip the file and make sure the folder name remain tomcat, save it to your library.

Step 3.

Access the preference settings on your intellijIDEA

Under Build, Execution and Deployment, select application server.
Attempt to add a new server, click + and select Tomcat Server from the drop down.
Click on the ... elipse to select the folder you have unziped earlier into your library.
select the tomcat folder and boom.

You are good to go, ready for use.

This recently came up for me on Ubuntu 17.04

What worked for me

cd /var/lib/tomcat8
rmdir lib/
ln -s /usr/share/tomcat8/lib/ .
ln -s /usr/share/tomcat8/bin/ .

I’m not sure this is the best fix but it worked for me. For some reason the default install left the tomcat8/lib directory empty while the real libraries are under the share directory.

I did what CallmeSurge suggested, except I had to change the following:

Step 3: Create a new Tomcat Runtime Configuration

Select the Runtime Configurations box (top right hand corner of the screen), and select Edit Configurations.
Select the green + sign at the top left corner of the box.
Select Tomcat (you may have to expand the box to see it)
Give your new configuration a name
In the Server tab, in the Application Server box, select the tomcat folder you created in steps 1 and 2.
In the Deployment tab, select the build artifact you want to deploy. (Note: if you don’t have a build artifact configured for your project, you’ll have to configure one first).
Save the new configuration.

Now, deploying to tomcat is as easy as selecting the runtime configuration you just created and hitting the Debug or Run arrows.

There may be a situation where the folder will be inaccessible to the user due to lack of rights. Try to open the root folder of Tomcat and click OK to get rights to it. This worked for me.

In Windows I just executed Intellij as administrator and it solved my problem.

I searched about how to set Tomcat as my project’s server but still haven’t figured out so let me ask you why.

I have Tomcat but get error message which say «the selected directory is not a valid Tomcat home».

Question

Can you suggest reasons why I might get this message?

You need to select a subdirectory of your current directory, which contains tomcat executables.

In my case it was /usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/8.0.32/libexec

It’s most likely because your user account associated with IntelliJ doesn’t have permission to read the folder.

Once you grant access, you’ll be good to go.

Number of slices to send:

Optional ‘thank-you’ note:

Apache Maven, Apache Tomcat, and Idea IntelliJ are 3 different products. They should live in 3 different directories.

Usually in Windows, I’d expect to find Maven and Tomcat living in their respective directories under «

C:Program Files

«. But in fact, neither of those products actually cares where you put them. You can just as easily put them in your home directory, for example, although if you’re planning to run Tomcat as a Windows Service, then you’re better off doing what Windows wants. Tomcat, as I said, doesn’t care. In fact, you can have 2 or 3 different versions of Tomcat installed and running on your computer at the same time.

When using IntelliJ to interact with Maven and Tomcat, you have to tell IntelliJ where the Maven and Tomcat base directories are so that it can run them, but that’s an IntelliJ thing.

I’m going to be a «small government» candidate. I’ll be the government. Just me. No one else.

The environment

Linux/Ubuntu20.04 LTS
Visual Studio Code
Tomcat9.0.48

abnormal

The directory selected is not the directory of Tomcat. When installing Tomcat plug-in under vscode, it is prompted to select the directory of Tomcat service, and there is no response when selecting the directory again.

The selected directory in not a valid Tomcat home

why

Insufficient directory permissions on Tomcat!

plan

/usr/local/775 is rwxr-xr-x. -r means all files in the directory have the same permissions

[email protected]:/usr/local$sudo chmod 755-r apache-tomcat-9.0.48 [sudo] lauiji

Check the permissions

[email protected]:/usr/local$ll Drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 June 29 18:04 apache-tomcat-9.0.48/

Enter the Tomcat directory to execute the operation, to see if it can run successfully, successful operation means that the current permissions are enough
