I can't start Tomcat in myeclipse. I have installed Tomcat and have configured it in myeclipse. But I hit the following error when trying to start Tomcat

Make sure your connector looks like this (assuming your working with Tomcat 5.x)
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-13941.html

Also, make sure that under your configured connector, JDK > Tomcat JDK points to a JDK and not a JRE.

I have done all the things you mentioned but still the same problem. As for JDK, I'm using 1.5.0_15

Did some checks and realised the eclipse IDE is using JRE, could this be the possible cause?

I figured it out that javaw.exe is running as a process and is using port 8005 which Tomcat is using. What I did was kill this process and Tomcat started successfully in myEclipse
