TOMCAT - HTTP Status 404
EclipseTomcatHttp Status-Code-404Eclipse Problem Overview
I set up my server in eclipse and when I run it the console prints:
mai 02, 2013 4:05:13 PM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init

but then, if I browse http://localhost:8080
I get:
HTTP Status 404 - /

type Status report
message /
description The requested resource is not available.
While I should see the Tomcat welcome page.
If I run Tomcat outside of eclipse I can reach the welcome page.
Eclipse Solutions
Solution 1 - Eclipse
- Click on
Window > Show view > Server
or right click on the server in "Servers" view, select "Properties". - In the "General" panel, click on the "Switch Location" button.
- The "Location: [workspace metadata]" should replace by something else.
- Open the Overview screen for the server by double clicking it.
- In the Server locations tab , select "Use Tomcat location".
- Save the configurations and restart the Server.
You may want to follow the steps above before starting the server. Because server location section goes grayed-unreachable.
Solution 2 - Eclipse
To get your program to run, please put jsp files under web-content and not under WEB-INF
because in Eclipse the files are not accessed there by the server, so try starting the server and browsing to URL:
http://localhost:8080/YourProject/yourfile.jsp
then your problem will be solved.
Solution 3 - Eclipse
You don't have to use Tomcat installation as a server location. It is much easier just to copy the files in the ROOT folder.
> Eclipse forgets to copy the default apps (ROOT, examples, etc.) when
> it creates a Tomcat folder inside the Eclipse workspace. Go to
> C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.8\webapps
, R-click on the ROOT folder and copy
> it. Then go to your Eclipse workspace, go to the .metadata
folder, and
> search for "wtpwebapps". You should find something like
> your-eclipse-workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps
> (or ../tmp1/wtpwebapps
if you already had another server registered
> in Eclipse). Go to the wtpwebapps
folder, R-click, and paste ROOT (say
> "yes" if asked if you want to merge/replace folders/files). Then
> reload http://localhost/
to see the Tomcat welcome page.
