InelliJ and apache tomcat8 found no server.xml in the .IntelliJIdea15/system/tomcat/Unnamed_Form/conf directory -

i stumbled on error tomcat8-installation. installed apache tomcat8 on ubuntu 15.10 package list.

for reason didn't install configuration-files "server.xml" , "web.xml" in

/usr/share/tomcat8/conf

directory

here how fix it: download full tomcat8-core-tar.gz here:

download

then open

/apache-tomcat-8.0.x/conf/

directory , copy server.xml- , web.xml-files to

/usr/share/tomcat8/conf

enjoy.
