3. Tomcat Installation Di

Answer 1

If your wanting to see your Tomcat Server Homepage then you will need to specify the server path and deploy path. The default is set to Use workspace metadata (does not modify your Tomcat installation).

How to do it.

1. Firstly open the Server's view in Eclipse. (Window >> Show View >> Servers).
2. Double click on your Tomcat Server to open the Server Overview.
3. Then set the Server Locations to Use Tomcat installation (takes control of Tomcat installation). Save the changes.
4. Restart your Server and then go to localhost:8080. This should open the Apache Tomcat Homepage for your server.

Hope this helps!
