Eclipse: running on server error: "Multiple Contexts have a path of ..."

[Woland]

Hi all!

I'm having a problem running my web project on server (Tomcat 5.5 or
Tomcat 6.0) from Eclipse IDE 3.3 WST.
Whenever I try to run my project on server, during the publishing
process I get the following error:

Multiple Contexts have a path of "/Project_Name"

I've tried many thing to solve it including making a new workspace
directory.

Any ideas?

Hello

Try to rename the Project / Properties / WebProject Settings to
Project_name2 for example.
Works fine for me.

Now why this $#%#*# happen, I simplily don't know!!!

[kennis...@gmail.com]

Actually it's really simple. The server.xml file is corrupted by
Eclipse!!! How it happens I don't know, there could be many reasons
internal to Eclipse WST guts. So, like I found out many times with
Eclipse, don't be afraid to do some XML file surgery.

Open the corrupted server.xml file by selecting it in Eclipse.
Do a search for the particular path ( /Project_Name ) ...
notice how there are multiple Context tags using the same path? Remove
the unwanted ones and live will be good yet again.

No thanks, just making the programmer world a better place

The corruption of the server.xml file is done by the Server´s plugin. Every time the war is Added (for example, if you remove and add it again) Eclipse creates a new Context tag in the server.xml file.

Solution is this ....

In your tomcat conf directory, edit server.xml. My guess is that in there you have two entries for teh same context. Look for two occurrences of the same line. The line will look like the following, where "someApplication" would be your context root.keep one path

<Context docBase="someApplication" path="/someApplication" reloadable="true" source="org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:someApplication"/>

I tried this and solved it.
1.delete the server folder in workspaces.
2.delete the server within eclipse.
3.add new server in eclipse

hi there,
I had the same problem, finally I could solve it easily.
In some cases like mine, you are not allowed to change the project's name, so we need to find a way to solve the problem.
The solution is that you just close the server in Eclipse, then try to create a new server, at the end you can run the project and enjoy.

Thank Daniel. I was in trouble first due to tomcat port numbers and then server.xml. but finally it's working.Thanks
