HTTP Status 404 Tomcat Apache

apache, tomcat

Solution

This a problem with tomcat and the `catalina config files`:

what you have to do is simply:

- right click on the `server tomcat` in `eclipse`

- click on properties

- click switch location a little server will appear on the left side in the navigation view

- double click on it after you have launched your server

- Then select use Tomcat installation and save

this will solve that common `404` problem.

Problem

I'm going to be honest, never used this before, I'm simply trying to install it correctly. I'm running windows 7 and I have jre 6 and 7. I go to system properties, environment variables and enter in a new system variable : JRE_HOME C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7. I run startup.bat and go to localhost:8080/" and I get ``` HTTP Status 404 - /%E2%80%9D type Status report message /%E2%80%9D description The requested resource is not available. Apache Tomcat/7.0.47 ``` Help would be absolutely awesome.
