This error appears when attempting to start a server in Eclipse.

There may be some issue with the permissions of the files needed to start the server. For example, a Tomcat server will create the following files. 

• /home/john.doe/eclipse-workspace/Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server/catalina.policy
• /home/john.doe/eclipse-workspace/Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server/catalina.properties
• /home/john.doe/eclipse-workspace/Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server/context.xml
• /home/john.doe/eclipse-workspace/Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server/server.xml
• /home/john.doe/eclipse-workspace/Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server/tomcat-users.xml
• /home/john.doe/eclipse-workspace/Servers/Tomcat v8.0 Server/web.xml

Ensure the appropriate files exists, with the proper permissions.
