I think I've read every question on this topic so far and I really tried a lot of solutions, so sorry if I overlooked anything. I'm using Eclipse with Tomcat 8. Tomcat is already configured as server and the MySQL-connector....jar is in the WEB-INF/lib folder, web.xml just in the /WEB-INF one and the index just in /WebContent
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<form action="Servlets/Start" method="post">
<font face="verdana" size="2">
Enter Table Name :<input type="text" name="table">
<input type="submit" value="Display">
</font>
</form>
</html

Now whenever I run the index.html on the server, everything works fine, however after pressing the button it specifies a 404 Error and I have no idea why exactly this occurs. I've tried using just /Start as action in index.html, which leads to the error message just pointing to /Start, however when I use Servlets/Start it is pointing to Servlets/Servlets/Start if that helps. Entering localhost:8080/Servlets prompts me to index.html which then leads to the same problem
As I'm slowly getting very frustrated, I'd like to ask you for help, thanks in advance!
