server not starting

Question

i am trying to create application in struts2 so i have downloaded apache-tomcat7.0,eclipse juno and i am trying to use this server in eclipse juno , i have configure it properly in eclipse and it is starting in eclipse fine ,but when i am typing localhost:8080 in my web browser after my server started in eclipse then it is me showing error

HTTP Status 404 - /

type Status report

message /

description The requested resource is not available.

Apache Tomcat/7.0.35

@Adeel: Try to think logically. If the port wasn't right, the OP would have faced a browser-specific connection timeout error, not a Tomcat-specific 404 error. — BalusC, Mar 14 '13 at 04:03
@BalusC: O yes. Sorry, my bad. I'm pretty stale after a long time. — Adeel Ansari, Mar 14 '13 at 04:05
Could you please try [installing the manager](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access). — 1218985, Mar 14 '13 at 04:13
This would be [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13220913/simple-servlet-project-http-status-404-error/13221196#13221196) for you — Roman C, Mar 14 '13 at 10:28

You have to select the correct server location. Please follow bellow steps.

Select Window => Show view => Servers
Then add the server if you want. If already added skip this step
Double click on the server which you have added
Then the Server overview will open. From there click on Server Locations.
Then select second option(Use Tomcat Installation).
Then save and restart the server.

Now you should be able to access your server.

Note: By default selecttion is Use workspace meta data. This does not modify the tomcat installation. But with this selection you can run the web application in the eclipse internal browser.
