Tomcat7 server error, file not exist in directory or not a readable directory

Question

When I run the spring project in eclipse using TOMCAT 7.0.42 I get the HTTP 404 error. In the console one of the error is

workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\abcdLogin does not exist or is not a readable directory

when I was starting the server, the server start up get failed so I deleted the tmp0 tmp1 tmp2 folder from the above mentioned directory. I read somewhere that if the server doesn't start delete the folder from the directory. Now the server start ups but on console it is showing this error. How can I resolve this error?

How to build the project again on server? Did you mean by re creating the whole project ? – Himanshu Gupta Sep 26 '13 at 07:36
No, from `project menu` in eclipse you will find build project, click on that and select your project and if you have select build automatically than there is no requirement of doing this just clean the project. – commit Sep 26 '13 at 07:47
ok.. now I have cleaned the project as well build automatically but now error is: Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost failed to start – Himanshu Gupta Sep 26 '13 at 07:55
Increase start up time of server because spring takes more time to configure it self with server and withing that time if server get not start it will throw error, this may be reason for exact reason please give detail message which tomcat shows – commit Sep 26 '13 at 08:57
the server has started now. but I am getting http404 error afte running the spring project. Also I am not able to see the logcat file of it as there is no option in eclipse to see. Eclipse version is: Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Indigo Service Release 2 – Himanshu Gupta Sep 26 '13 at 09:56

Finally I resolved the problem:

go to Servers view (Window --> show View --> Other --> Server --> Servers)
Right click on TOMCAT 7 Server
Select Clean ... from context menu

In case of Gradle,

I searched it everywhere for the gradle project but could not find solution till i keenly observed the gradle file. In gradle file the above line was missing,

apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'

Try to remove that server from Eclipse and create a new server in Eclipse. Then add your projects in to the new server, start the server from Eclipse.
