Tomcat Server not starting with in 45 seconds

Question

Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 101 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server edit

Answer 1

In my case tomcat was configured to start not on localhost(guess it came from servers.xml connector entry) so Eclipse fails to find it running after start. Changed Host name on Servers tab to my 192.168.xxx.yyy ip.

Had the same error message, though tomcat did start sucessfully, but then Eclipse shuts it down.
