Http Status Error 404 in Tomcat 5.5.35

[Rithanya Laxmi]

Hi,

I have deployed my app. successfully in tomcat 5.5.35 by integrating with eclipse. I am able to see the respective application context (module) created in "wtpwebapps" in eclipse plugins with respective files. My index.html is outside the WEB-INF and is defined in web.xml. But when I hit the app in the browser (http://localhost:8080/MyApp) I am getting http status error 404? What change I need to do to make it work? Is there anything I am missing here? The tomcat home page is coming up. Please clarify.

Thanks.

A 404 might mean that your App is not deployed fully and there is potentially an error somewhere that occurred during deployment. Have a look at the log files.

There is no error/exceptions in log files , why the tomcat/logs is "empty"? the deployed is successful. Please clarify.

Probably because you're using Eclipse. WIth the WTP J2EE plugin that comes in the Eclipse J2EE spin. Which does rude things to the Tomcat configuration.

Tomcat should be producing logs, and if the webapp is deployed, one of the things that should be IN those logs are messages that indicate what webapps are being deployed as Tomcat starts up. An empty log means that you've probably not appeased the Eclipse WTP plugin.
