Question

I have two queries which I am detailing below:
I installed tomcat 7.0 on my ubuntu machine 11.04.
1. .war file not deployed
When I start tomcat through terminal it works fine and I am able to see the tomcat webpage at http://localhost::8080/. After that I try to deploy a war file ps.war which I copy into the webapps folder inside the tomcat installation directory. And then I restart the server but get the same 404 error even when the .war has been extracted to a ps folder by tomcat.
2. Not running through eclipse
when I open it through eclipse then it shows in eclipse console that the server is started and synchronized but does not run any service and give HTTP 404 eroor. Also in this case, When I open a browser window then I get same 404 error at http://localhost::8080//

Please help me put as I am quite stuck at this moment and not able to run the web services any further. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Thanks all for your responses. I solved the problem. For first part there was some problems with my .war file and thats why it was not getting deployed.
For second, after I corrected my war, it automatically started working for eclipse too.
