Using M4 build from Thu, 4 Jan 2007 -- 01:46 (UTC) I had an apache server already running on my (windows) OS so when I tried to "debug on server", it didn't work. I got no message in IDE, but did get this (pasted below) message in the console log. (And, that's Eclipse's error/console log I mean, not the normal "server log" that shows up in IDE. Didn't this use to have a message box? Was the change intentional? I can understand if it was intentional ... but, still hard to see what the problem might be, especially for new user, and especially since I think this is a common new user problem. Perhaps some validation-like message, or "error status" in server view would help? = = = = = = !ENTRY org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core 4 0 2007-01-04 00:35:19.078 !MESSAGE Port 80 required by Tomcat v5.0 Server @ localhost is already in use. The server may already be running in another process, or a system process may be using the port. To start this server you will need to stop the other process or change the port number(s).
oh, and mind if I piggy-back another minor bug? I think the '@' should be "at", in "server @ localhost is already in use" message, and would be best to include the desired port number!
This appears to be a regression in the platform - failed jobs no longer have any feedback. I think I've tracked it down to bug 168720, which is getting good attention - fingers crossed for a fix in the next platform milestone. I've leave this bug here instead of returning as a duplicate since you made other comments: * Change '@' to 'at'. Ok, will do. * I don't understand your comment "would be best to include the desired port number". Are you saying it should scan for other free port numbers and suggest what ports to change to? FWIW you only had one port conflict (it checks all required ports, and the alternate message is "Several ports (8000, 8007, 8080) required by Tomcat ...") so the message could get a little interesting if that's what you were expecting.
Thanks Tim, on the "desired port number" ... I was missing that it appeared in the beginning of the message "Port 80 required by ... ", so, never mind.
Ok, will just use this bug to change '@' to 'at' then.
Change released to 2.0 M5 builds. Platform bug 168720 still open at the time of writing this but can be tracked at the source.
Closing.
