I'm going to be honest, never used this before, I'm simply trying to install it correctly. I'm running windows 7 and I have jre 6 and 7. I go to system properties, environment variables and enter in a new system variable : JRE_HOME C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7. I run startup.bat and go to localhost:8080/" and I get 

HTTP Status 404 - /%E2%80%9D

type Status report

message /%E2%80%9D

description The requested resource is not available.

Apache Tomcat/7.0.47

Help would be absolutely awesome.

This a problem with tomcat and the catalina config files:

what you have to do is simply:

  • right click on the server tomcat in eclipse
  • click on properties
  • click switch location a little server will appear on the left side in the navigation view
  • double click on it after you have launched your server
  • Then select use Tomcat installation and save

this will solve that common 404 problem.

HTTP Status 404 - /%E2%80%9D

What is /%E2%80%9D here ? First try to run it at root '/'

To setup tomcat you need to follow these steps

  1. Extract tomcat in some directory. Make sure you have read/write privileges on this directory
  2. Make sure that java is installed on the system. (run java -version on the console and you should get the version of java on your system).
  3. Run startup.bat , the command prompt will open up displaying all the logs stating a clean startup in XXseconds
  4. Next open the URL in the browser http://localhost:8080/ and you should see the default page of Tomcat7 loaded up.
