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

Disabling my antivirus does the trick for me ...

Answer 2

If you are trying to debug the application on server, just check out the breakpoints. You might had include the whole class as breakpoint. So remove that breakpoint.

This thing worked in my case when i was trying to debug.

Answer 3

Just go with below points. Open Eclipse Windows -> show View -> server -> double click tomcat/press Fn + F3 -> Timeouts -> increase start time Save setting and Restart eclipse also delete .metadata folder from work space if you don't need Check Now... All The Best

Answer 4

I had the same problem I deleted the server from the server tab, and also the server folder under your eclipse workspace, restarted eclipse, set up a new server, and it appears to be running OK now.

Answer 5

Well, I tried all the solutions:

• increasing timeout seconds;
• deleting the server instance in Eclipse along with the Run Config.

None of them worked.

And:

• there was no breakpoint in my code;
• I don't use any antivirus.

I realized that some people - who had the same problem - were using Eclipse Helios (so was I).

I switched to Eclipse Kepler and it worked perfectly.

Maybe it can be a solution. I wanted to use Helios, but Kepler is okay.

Answer 6

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.
