I've been searching without luck for a way to get tomcat running on my server. It a linux server with Plesk 11.5 and tomcat 6. I've followed many instructions but this one has pictures that are current: guide. I get to about step 4 but the start button is grayed out.
I am trying to upload and run a java application from a .WAR file, but this is the first step. Please advise, thanks!

As I know domain name where Tomcat application installed must has DNS resolving from this server.

Guess you need the 'Power Pack' license add-on to enable this (Power User only refers to the UI mode: i.e. Power User or Service Provider).
See http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/power-pack/ (of course you can buy the license upgrade from your hosting provider - only via Parallels directly if that's where you buy your actual key from in the first place).

As indicated by others, you need the Power Pack to be able to manage Tomcat on Plesk. See parallels knowledgeable:

"Java Application" is not enabled in the license. You may verify this at Tools & Settings > License Management:
Turns out that 1&1 has different licenses. My license was a power user while I needed something stronger. Either way, checked my license and Java Application was "Off". Hope this helps someone else with similar problems.
