Question

I have just installed xammp in my computer, and to test it, I starte tomcat by

catalina.bat run

And once running, went to the link http://localhost:8080/ROOT/ or http://localhost:8080/host-manager/. But none of them are found, getting a 404 error.
Is this normal?? When I had my own web application, will http://localhost:8080/myApplication run without problem??

Thanks in advance

ROOT is not a valid context name. The application deployed in the ROOT folder is accessinble via http://localhost:8080. Your application should work fine if properly deployed (war file placed in webapps)

Btw, you’d better start it with startup.bat
