eclipse - Server Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 45 seconds

Question

I have 2 projects in eclipse. One of them runs fine and when added to Tomcat server, server can restart without any problems. However, the other project gets error when added

Server Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 45 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor.

I don't believe it's a timeout issue as I've changed time to no avail. Is there other settings/places I should be looking for errors?

This is console output for project that successfully starts vs one that doesn't

One that fails:

Has anyone any idea on what could be stopping this from running?

Answer 1

Where did you change the time for the timeout?

In eclipse:

• open your servers view
• doubleclick on the server
• check Timeouts (add a big number for Start)
