When installing Apache Tomcat error shows while choosing path for Java

While installing the Apache Tomcat, when I'm choosing the path for Java, it shows error like "No Java Virtual Machine found in folder". How can I solve this issue and where can I download essential file to install tomcat. Any Solution ??

i know this is late but maybe it could be useful for someone ,
apache tomcat requires the JRE installed in your machine , here is the link from oracle for jre 8:
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

You need to use the root of your java folder in the Tomcat installation wizard.
So use C:\Program Files\java\jdk-11.0.15.10-hotspot or equivalent. Do not point to inner directories like \bin or \bin\server & \bin\client.

Probably your problem related to wrong JAVA_HOME setting.
In Windows, from Command Line you can just type set ja and ensure that JAVA_HOME points to correct Java installation

Incompatible JVM in GGTS (Eclipse) and JAVA 1.8

Having some problem with running a grails application in GGTS (eclipse) due to upgrade to Java 1.8.

I used to run the same application in Java 1.7. My colleagues upgraded to 1.8 and no longer able to run it.
I tested with SUN JDK and now I am on OpenJDK again and that does not help
Current JDK openjdk version "1.8.0_40"
JAVA_HOME, JAVA_PATH and any other variable seems to point to the correct JDK installation. I have removed all the previous (JDK 1.6 & 1.7 from the OS to be sure that there is no reference to them).
For some reason GGTS still complains for a wrong JVM. I understand the error might be related to a compiler 1.7 trying to compile files in the 1.8, but I am not sure where this reference is comming from in eclipse.
My Eclipse installation information lists the following under Java:

Version 1.8.0_40 and 1.8.0_45 has breaking updates with grails.
Spring can not copy non-Root methods.
Since the initial posting a workaround has been developed.

Here is the build:
http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot-local/org/springframework/springloaded/1.2.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/springloaded-1.2.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar
To test it under grails, what I do is go into the grails folder:
grails-2.5.0/lib/org.springframework/springloaded/jars
I then rename the spring loaded jar that is there and put in a symlink
to the jar above. It used to be that you could just modify the
startGrails script to point to the new version, but now due to the
forking I find you need to do the symlink thing. Or drop that jar into
this folder and rename it to match the expectations of grails (rename
it from springloaded-1.2.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar to
springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar)
If you want to rollback instead
Grails is natively supported in 1.8.0_25, 1.8.0_31
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html#jdk-8u25-oth-JPR
Once you have a compatible java version clean your grails project.
Ensure that your java path variables are set to point to your expected version.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\java\jdk1.8.0_25
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%;

It's a problem related to jdk8u40, go back to jdku31. It works in that version.
I'm running into the same problem both in windows and linux environments.

I updated my springloaded jar to version 1.2.4.BUILD-SNAPSHOT (from 1.2.1) and that resolved the issue. (Latest version can be found in the Spring repo)
Go to your local Grails lib directory to find springloaded jar. For me that was /usr/local/Cellar/grails/2.4.4/libexec/lib/org.springframework/springloaded/jars/
remove existing 1.2.1 jars (I removed pom file, too, but not necessary)
download latest springloaded jar and place into the jars subdir:
wget http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot-local/org/springframework/springloaded/1.2.4.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/springloaded-1.2.4.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar
After doing that, everything works. (Clues used from previous answer: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-loaded/issues/98)

Step 1 : Download this jar
step 2 : put it into the grails folder: grails-2.4.1/lib/org.springframework/springloaded/jars
should be enough , restart IDE

I am running Grails 2.4.3 and also had problems moving from jdk1.8.0_31 to jdk1.8.0_40 and had to go back to jdk1.8.0_31

Two Step To Make it Work
1. Download JDK Lower Version:
Install jdk1.8.0_25 from link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html#jdk-8u25-oth-JPR. It's the lower version of JDK as grails dont support higher version. Maybe They'll include this in latest version soon.
2. Set Up Environment Variables:
Don't forget to change the Enviromental variables for jdk, you have to just edit Path Variables and JavaHome Variable from "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_'LatestVersion'" to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25" .

Changing the springloaded version in my pom.xml did the trick.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
<version>1.2.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
When I was experiencing the issue my springloaded version was 1.2.1.RELEASE

I thought I should add my two pence worth on this topic. Recently I hit the same issue trying to upgrade an ancient app to 2.4.4. The reason for my post is because all of the above instructions are a little out of date and whilst in most cases it may appear to work. The moment you introduce mysql drivers all of the above mentioned versions of spring loaded hit a new issue around incompatibility and Non-root when attempting to trigger the database.
I got ggts fully working with JDK 1.8_065. To make it work get hold of springloaded-1.2.5.RELEASE.jar Put this into grails-2.4.4/lib/org.springframework/springloaded/jars/ folder.
When you install ggts inside the ggts-bundle folder is grails-2.4.4. So put the file in the above location within the ggts-bundle folder. Unless you have changed configuration.
Re-launch GGTS
I spent ages on it and thought I should update the instructions.
Also the other thing that I hit issues around was forking under grails 2.4.4 with my uprade and ended up setting
grails.project.fork = []
In my BuildConfig.groovy

Error installing JDK

I got following error while installing JDK 1.7 on windows 8.
"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'st170510.cab' required for this

I have downloaded latest version of JDK from oracle foundation. previously JDK 1.6 was installed on my pc. I uninstalled it and tried to install this version and met this error.
For further information, I have already installed JRE 1.7 on my system.

Error:
"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'st170510.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."
is not because of Issue in JDK setup or as such.
Some of the reasons may be:
Some research suggests that this problem may arise because of bad RAM.

I think it has something to do with Windows "unblock" feature. (Rich click on file, select "unblock")
We had this issue before when we downloaded a Zip file, extracted an installed, and ran it - it failed - we had to unblock the file first - we also noticed that extracted elements were also "blocked" as well.
Java Install >>- On downloading using windows, file transfer speed was fast until the very end. then it seemed to stall.
Any attempt to install from these files produced errors and a fail.
Fix >>- I then downloaded it using a MAC and then transferred the files back to the windows box and did the install again.
This time it was perfect - no errors - good install.

I was installing Oracle Java 8 JDK (version 111) on a Windows 10 machine. I got the same error as described in the question.
I disabled windows defender (all checkboxes to off), downloaded the file, went to its properties clicked unblock and apply. Then the JDK installed fine.

I had the same problem. After reading all the answers, I concluded that the downloaded .exe file was getting corrupt each time I download. Initially I used Internet Edge for the download (like 5 times) and I had the problem every time. The problem got solved when I switched to chrome browser, downloaded and installed again.

I faced the same problem, but with 1.8 on windows 7 (tried with jdk8u91 and jdk8u92). None of the other solutions here worked, but unchecking the "source code" and "public jre" options caused the error to not occur. Not a complete solution if you need the source code - the jre is available separately anyway - but it got me through the installer, and the jdk seems functional.

When you meet this problem ,you compare the two files with WinMD5Free after downloading them.
At first I used chrome and IDM to download the JDK files and always met with an error although I changed other versions many times.
Hence I use Firefox download the JDK file and problems are resolved.
^_^

OS: Windows 10 Pro
Java: 10.0.1
When trying to run the JDK installer from the "Downloads" folder I kept running into the same error (only different .cab file). I tried running as admin, different compatibility mode, scanning with the Windows scanner. Nothing helped.
Then I just downloaded to Desktop. I ran it as Administrator and Java installed without any problem.

IntelliJ, can't start simple web application: Unable to ping server at localhost:1099

I'm trying to make a simple web app in IntelliJ by following this tutorial:
http://wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Creating_a_simple_Web_application_for_Tomcat_in_IntelliJ_IDEA_12
I believe my Tomcat is installed correctly since I see the tomcat pictures when I go to
http://localhost:8080/
I've followed all the steps up until the part it tells me to run index.jsp, at which point I get the error:
Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.net.MalformedURLException: Local host name unknown: java.net.UnknownHostException: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
I see this in the log:
Application Server was not connected before run configuration stop, reason:
Unable to ping server at localhost:1099
This 1099 comes from the JMX port in Run -> Edit Configurations.
How do I fix this?

To fix this you need add your machine name in the /etc/hosts file to point to localhost(127.0.0.1).
You can find your machine name by running the following command:
$ hostname
macbook-pro
From the output above you know your hostname is "macbook-pro".
Edit "/etc/hosts" file and add that name at the end of line that lists 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 localhost macbook-pro
Save the file.
Now you IntelliJ should be able to start your server.

See that the tomcat you are using is compatible with the Java version. For me the issue was Tomcat-9 required Java-8. If you have a older version of Java, you could use Tomcat-7 to test.

I added my hostname to /etc/hosts on localhost.
Added JAVA_HOME
but still it showed the same error. In the console, there was output:
Unable to start as CATALINA_BASE contains a colon (:) character
I solved the problem by going to Edit configurations -> Startup/Connection -> changing CATALINA_BASE value to the tomcat installation folder. Before that, it was
CATALINA_BASE: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.0
which can't be correct on a linux machine ;)

For those who encounter this when you just recently updated IntelliJ (In my case 2019.2).
I am using JBoss server so i tried to run standalone.bat in the command line and I saw the real issue on the console.
It can be different to yours, but in my case I saw:
failure description: "WFLYSRV0137: No deployment content with
And on that error I was able to fix this by removing the items (war or ear) inside the <deployments/> node in my standalone.xml
Hope this helps for those using JBoss+IntelliJ

FYI Under certain network conditions your hostname may change or be incorrect. If you are on a mac the following will let you set your hostname fairly permanently:
sudo scutil --set HostName correct-name

This appears to be a problem with the way mac is handling reading the /etc/hosts file. See for example http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-96865
Adding the hostname to the hosts file as bond described should not be required, but it does solve the problem.

My problem was that tomcat 8 and higher are not compatible with java 6. Changing to java 7 solved it.

I had similar issue when I entered very big port here:
But when I corrected it to something smaller which is in offset range:
Issue was resolved.

I had same problem. In "Edit Configurations.." -> "Tomcat Server" I changed JRE from "Default" to my current version with SDK directory address (like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre)
My Tomcat version is 8.5.31

This error came to me when I configured (wrong) 3 Gb memory where there was none. IntelliJ does shows the real error message (Could not reserve enough space for object heap) in the Output frame.
I was confused, and attracted by the message in the Event Log, which is to be ignored in this case.

None of the answers above worked for me. In the end I figured out it was an configuration error (I used the android SDK and not Java SDK for compilation).
Got to
[Right Click on Project] --> Open Module Settings --> Module --> [Dependendecies] and make sure you have configured and selected the Java SDK (not the android java sdk)

I meet this question when i use intellij 15.0,then i update to 15.02 version. after that, I edit configurations and reset the Default JRE to my own JRE.It works well for me;

I added the following VM Options and it worked for me:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1099
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

I solve this problem adding the environment variables JAVA_HOME(C:\Program Files\Java\jdkx.x.x_xx) and JRE_HOME.

I had the same problem of "Unable to ping server at localhost:1099" while I was using intellij 2016 version.
However, as soon as I upgraded it to 2017 version(Ultimate 2017.1) which is installed using "ideaIU-2017.1.exe" the problem disappeared.

I had this issue when running Tomcat 6.0.53 on Mac OS Sierra with Intellij IDEA to deploy Spring projects.
This problem was solved after changing the Tomcat version to the 'tar.gz' one from official site. It seems the 'zip' one is for windows.

Setting project's SDK in IntelliJ (File > Project Structure > Project:Project SDK) worked for me

If your tomcat contains file setenv.sh ([YOUR_CATALINA_HOME]/bin/setenv.sh) it may redefine the JAVA_OPTS variable that JIdea uses to set up JMX, so you have to add them there:
export JAVA_OPTS ="$JAVA_OPTS <whatever was in setenv.sh>"
echo $JAVA_OPTS

Below is the error I observed :
to resolve, in my case, I exit intelliJ and renamed folder ".idea" to ".idea_old" (so that I don't loose old config) and restarted intelliJ, It created a new ".idea" folder and I provided new tomcat configuration. On running tomcat this issue was removed.

On top pointing my hostname to 127.0.0.1 in hosts (just run hostname in cmd to get it) as well as doing what David GC mentioned, for me the error cleared and debugging worked when I went into the tomcat configuration and changed the debugging startup script from startup.bat (which was just my monkeying around) back to the catalina.bat start default.

I had same issue and my mistake was, I was trying to start tomcat server with incompatible version of JDK and installed Apache tomcat server. In my case I had installed JDK 7 with Apache tomcat 9. For Apache 9 JDK should be >= 8.
For compatibility check this https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

For me, it was a much different solution since it was running on a virtualbox, so I had to edit the hosts file and add the virtualbox as a localhost
127.0.0.1 VirtualBox-blahblah

In windows environment just check the PATH environment variable if Oracle JRE runtime refreshed the path and put himself at the very beginning of the path. In this case even if the JAVA_HOME AND JRE_HOME points to the correct JDK, the JRE will have precedence. And this case IntelliJ will not start Tomcat instance with the mentioned error message.

If you are using java 7 then make sure you have Tomcat 7
brew install tomcat#7
and update run configuration to Tomcat 7
Tomcat 9 is working with java 8

I'm leaving an answer for the jboss user.
If any of the people experiencing this error are using jboss, make sure the JBOSS_HOME location is correct.

If we have the installed the compatible tomcat version for the application JAVA jdk version, we can resolve this issue easily.
In my case, when I am using Tomcat 10.1.0.M4 with JAVA JDK 1.8 I faced this issue. When I downgrade my tomcat version to 9.0.41, the issue resolved for me.
You can find the compatible tomcat version for the JAVA JDK here..

Yomu and Heroku

I just installed the 'yomu' gem (https://github.com/Erol/yomu) in my application and deployed to heroku. On my local machine (Mac OS) it runs fine. I noticed in the documentation it states that JRE is required for it to work.
When I run the application on Heroku I get the following error:
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /app/.bundle/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/yomu-0.1.1/jar/tika-app-1.1.jar -t):
I'm assuming that yomu can't find the java compiler on Heroku. Am I reading this right? If I am, is there an add-on that I'm not considering?
By the way, the reason I'm using yomu is because it can extract text from doc and docx files.
Thanks!

If you're running on the Cedar stack then a JDK is available to you at: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
I'm not sure how Yomu finds your Java install, but it's probably looking in JAVA_HOME. If so then setting JAVA_HOME on Heroku should make it work:
heroku config:add JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk

Not a java compiler - a java runtime (a JRE, like the documentation said). Installing a JRE as an addon is not (yet?) supported on Heroku.

In the new Heroku-16 stack, you can add jvm as a buildpack and you don't need to configure paths or anything else. Just make sure to have it set as your first buildpack. I tried it with Yomu/Henkei and it worked for me.
