this worked for me  In the Server s tab in Eclipse  Stop the Tomcat server  Right-click the server and select  quot Clean    quot   Right-click the server again and select  quot Clean Tomcat Work Directory    quot   In the Eclipse  select the top-level menu option  Project  gt  Clean      Be sure your project is selected and click Ok  Restart Eclipse

This happens when Eclipse shuts down incorrectly - delete the server and then re-create it again

From project explorer  just make sure that Servers is not closed

I faced the same problem once  THe reason for this is that even though the server is available  the config files are missing  You can see the server at Windows -  Show view -  Servers  Their configuration files can be seen at Project Explorer -  Servers  For some reason this second mentioned config files were missing    I simply deleted the existing server and created a new one with this the config files were also created and the problem was solved   Similar solution is given at here by Emertana EM java lang NoClassDefFoundError  org apache juli logging LogFactory

If you re not too attached to your current workspace you can create a new workspace  follow BalusC s steps for server creation  and recreate your project in the new workspace   I got the same error after installing Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers Juno  but using the workspace of a much older Eclipse installation   When I created a new workspace I was able to get my Tomcat server running without this error

You need to define the server instance in the Servers view    In the box at the right bottom  press the Servers tab and add the server there  You by the way don t necessarily need to add it through global IDE preferences  It will be automagically added when you define it in Servers view  The preference you ve modified just defines default locations  not the whole server instance itself  If you for instance upgrade move the server  you can change the physical location there   Once defining the server in the Servers view  you need to add the newly created server instance to the project through its Server and Targeted runtime preference

Probably  you have some problems with your server s configuration   Follow these steps to remove and create a new one  it might help you    In Eclipse 1  Window -  Show view -  Servers  If you cannot see it  you might need to choose Others -  Server  2  From Server view -  Delete the server which has problems  3  Right click -  New -  Server   to create a new one   In my case  after new server was created  I get rid of this  localhost-config is missing

Did you  by any chance  deleted stuff from your workspace  or moved it around   When you create a server for the first time  either globally or through the project s  run on server  settings  Eclipse creates a project in the Servers view  as BalusC pointed out  Eclipse stores this server inside your workspace  in a project called Servers  The project needs to be open for tomcat to run    If you want  you can store the server settings elsewher  You can right click and open the server instance from the Servers view and configure various parameters and locations

As Yoni already mentioned  you probably deleted the project named  Servers  from your Project Explorer  If config files for the server still present on a file system  the quickest way to restore it will be Right Click in Project Explorer- Import- General- Existing Projects into Workspace  then select the root dir where Servers dir located  set checkbox near  Servers  and finally click Finish  If everything works as expected  you should see the  Servers  project added to the Project Explorer view and your old config files will be there   Finally  save the tomcat configuration which you had open  You can startup your Tomcat server without errors now
