That's an annoyingly uninformative error message. There are two other places to look for error messages that might be more informative. This all depends on how you've added Tomcat to Eclipse. I am going to assume that you picked the 'use workspace metadata' option since it's the default. 1. Console tab When you start Tomcat, you'll see a bunch of messages in the console tab at the bottom of the IDE. This appears to be catalina.out. Try starting Tomcat again, and copy / paste those messages into a mail message. 2. Any other logs In the console tab, one of the lines will be something similar to the following: -Dcatalina.base=C:\Users\username\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0 This is Eclipse setting $CATALINA_BASE. You' find the entire structure of Tomcat below the directory listed above. So additional log files will be found in (for example): C:\Users\username\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\logs Since you're on a Macintosh, the path will obviously look different. I doubt that there are any logs there if Tomcat does not start up, but it doesn't hurt to look. My initial guess is that you have Tomcat running as a service left over from your previous attempts and that it is bound to port 8080 already. Make sure that your Tomcat service is stopped before you start Tomcat from within Eclipse. . . . just my two cents /mde/
