Intellij: start button disabled for tcServer

Question

I am new to IntelliJ and trying to run my web application using tcServer

I am using local configuration and added a launch configuration. See Attached Screenshots

However, when I try to run this, the "Run" button is disabled.

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

You changed the default configuration, you did not add a new configuration of the starting server. To do this, click the green + icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

You must remove the war from the default configuration and add it to the newly created server.

see the attached screenshot, you can see the difference between the default setting and the executable configuration

Answer 2

It seems you need to use a little green "+" in the upper left corner. The one you edited is the default setting for your spring server. If you add a specific launch configuration to the project, it will appear. Good luck.
