Getting 404 error on startup

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I installed bundled software having NetBeans IDE 5.5, JBoss Server and Tomcat Server 5.5.17. My Tomcat is listening at the port 8090. No other server is listening to that port except Tomcat. Now my problem here is , I started tomcat from NetBeans IDE, and in the browse URL location I entered "http://localhost:8090/ , this is giving me 404 error. I remember it working fine few days before. But suddently this problem started . Also I observed following log in NetBeans IDE

From the Infor about Server Startup, shall I assume that server hasn't started yet. If so, what is work a round for this? Please help me in fixing this problem. Thanks in advance.

Your Tomcat server has started normally according to those messages, so that isn't the problem.

Do you have a web application deployed? Did something change in the deployment configuration?

Hi Jesper,

I didn't touch any of the files after installing tomcat. This message is getting displayed after starting Tomcat and giving http://localhost:8090/ in the browser. I'm not sure what went wrong here.

Also,

When I tried to shut down the Tomcat, it messaged me "Failed shutdown of Apache Portable Runtime". Is there anything wrong with my server.

[Jesper de Jong]

As far as I know, Apache Portable Runtime is an optional native library that you can install for better scalability and performance (I've never used it myself). Tomcat also works without it, so it shouldn't be a problem if you don't have it installed.

Hi Jasper,

Thanks for the information. However I may not need it now, as my tomcat is working fine. There could be some installation problems.
