Answer 1

None of the above answers provide proper concrete solution. I faced exactly same issue and i figured out a very simple solution.

• Open Eclipse and remove all entries of Apache server

• Delete Servers from explorer tab, delete Tomcat from server explorer window, delete server from Window > Preferences > Server > Apache tomcat, delete it, also delete servers folder inside EclipseProjects.

• Place Apache tomcat folder outside the project folder anywhere you wish to, you can place in Eclipse_Projects folder but not inside EclipseProjects/projectxyz/.

• Now add server in eclipse the usual way and give path of this new location.

This should work!
