I just moved from WIN2003 server with Tomcat6 and JDK1.6 to WIN2012 server with Tomcat7 and JDK1.6. When I try and run the application in the browser, I get a "404 - File or directory not found" error.
I tried to view the Manager Application at
http://localhost:8080/manager/html..... I also get a "HTTP STATUS 404 /manager/html" error message. Everything is a 404 error and I am kind of stumped.
The log file shows both my application and the manager application as successfully deployed.
After starting Tomcat7, the catalina.<timestamp> log shows...
