can you give errors from logs [tomcat_dir]/logs/catalina.out if are some errors? — iMysak, Apr 18 '12 at 10:02
It looks like Tomcat is setup correctly but you have not deployed your application yet. How did you deploy it? — ziggy, Apr 18 '12 at 10:05
also you can check does project already launched on http://localhost:7080/manager http://localhost:7080/host-manager — iMysak, Apr 18 '12 at 10:06
@ziggy,Right-click the server and select Publish from the menu. and then click the RUN. — Mohsen, Apr 18 '12 at 10:12
@iMysak, when i type localhost:7080/manager in browser.this happens: description The requested resource (/manager) is not available. — Mohsen, Apr 18 '12 at 10:14

Please look on tab "Servers" like on image: enter image description here

If you don't see your project in server you need "publish" you project before. // right click on server -> "Add and Remove" -> add your project from "Available" into "Configured" -> click "finish" I hope this must help.

I don't think if you right click on server and select "Publish" will publish your project straight away. I think you need to add the project to the server first (I could be wrong).

Usually the easiest way to run the project on the server is to right click on the project, select "Run As" and select "Run on Server".

That will give you the option to select the server you want to use (or create a new one if you haven't created one then).

Try this move your start-page.html to your local host. in my case i try this code

sudo mv start-page.html /etc/tomcat7/Catalina/localhost

Then check your localhost if the start-page.html are there.

Then you see the 4 .xml like docs.xml, the examples.xml, the manager.xml, etc. and you must see the start-page.html then try restart again your tomcat7.

Because the 404 error means cannot fine the location of your start-page.html

I think you created "xhtml file", creating a "file" and changing the file extension. This is wrong. You should create a html file and configure again extension. Then click the next button. After that, you should choose "New Facelet Template". Then finish.
