not valid Tomcat installation
I install Tomcat 6.0.18 in c:\tomcat.
When add the new server Eclipse writes that tomcat install directory is not
correct.
It does not point to valid Tomcat installation.
What should I do ?

Actually I missed the final step!!
Right click in the Servers panel and New->Server will let you add the
server.
Then you can add web projects as required.

Sergey (and FYI Andre)
For each server Eclipse uses, you must create a new entry in the
'Servers' folder.
I'm assuming that you are using eclipse 3.3+ with WTP (Web Tools
Project) plugins.
One way to do it is as follows:
From main menu Window->Preferences
Select 'Server'
click on triangle to get the drop down list and then select
'Runtime Environment'
The select 'Add'
You will get a list, the first of which is 'Apache'
select Apache Tomcat v6.0
and then 'Next'
now you will be at a menu called 'Tomcat Server Specify the installation
directory'
Use Browse to select the folder in which you installed Tomcat. It will
check to see that it has the right files in it.
You can specify the JRE that tomcat is run with below. You may want to
use a different JRE than the one that you are running Eclipse with. For
example, I start and run eclipse with a JDK1.5 but compile and run my
applications with JRE from the 1.6 JDK.
You can have more than one tomcat server defined in eclipse. Its up to
you to configure them using the Server properties page to ensure that
they use different ports.

sigh. development of the sysdeo plugin has stopped, the last release is for
Eclipse 3.2, as is clearly visible from your link. To the OP: ignore this
advice, unless yopu really use an old Eclipse release w/o the Web Tools
feature.

As I mentioned, I do not know Eclipse, but maybe it checks for certain
files. If you did not install the zip version of Tomcat, some files are
missing, and that might be why Eclipse is lost.
If that is the case, download the zip version, and I think you can just
unzip it on top of your installation directory.

If you still have both Tomcats, Eclipse may get confused.
Is there by any chance a CATALINA_HOME variable defined, that points to
something else ?

Thank you Andre.
When I add a new server I specify a path where Tomcat installed before.
Tc5.r I installed without problems.

I don't now Eclipse at all, but how does it normally find out the path
of a Tomcat installation ?
