The answer to the question apparently is that I needed to include the project name on the url. So instead of:

localhost:8080/CompoundManager/

I needed

localhost:8080/CompoundManager/CompoundManager

It's always the little things that get you in the end
Ok, here is what I have:

Tomcat 6.0.20 installed at ~/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.20
Eclipse Galileo, installed from Ubuntu packages (IIRC, it's been a while since it was installed)
sun-java6-jdk installed from Ubuntu packages
Ubuntu 9.10

The tomcat server is configured in Eclipse as follows (all paths are configured as absolute paths on the computer):
Hostname: localhost
Configuration Path: /Servers/Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost-config
Use the Tomcat installation: T
Server Path: ~/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.20
Deploy Path: ~/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps
Server Modules Without Publishing: F
Publish Module Contexts to Separate XML Files: F
Enable Security: F

When I start the Tomcat server from Eclipse, everything starts as normal and I can go to localhost:8080 and I get the tomcat welcome page. I can run the example servlets and everything seems hunky dory.

So next I load my Dynamic Web Project from eclipse onto the Tomcat server (right click -> run as -> run on server), select my Tomcat server and hit run. Eclipse deploys the project, loads up a web browser and I get a 404:



Looking at the output from the server in eclipse I notice the following:



I did some googling about and found that this apparently isn't a big deal and also a suggestion to turn Publish Module Contexts to Separate XML Files on. So I did that, and instead of the warning about the property being unmatched, I instead get the following:



And I still get a 404 error, so I switched back to the original config. Now I'm stuck on what to try next, anyone have any thoughts on why I can't get by servlet to run, even though Tomcat itself is running just fine?

As an extra piece of information, if I go to localhost:8080/CompoundManager/JSP/CompoundMain.jsp, it will find and display that page, so it can clearly get to the files in the CompoundManager deployment.
