I run the server Apache Tomcat - after installing Eclipse and Tomcat on a new computer - in Eclipse and haven't any problem: INFO: Server startup in 575 ms. But when I type "http://localhost:8080/", I didn't get the Apache Tomcat Home Page, but get the following error message : HTTP Status 404 error in tomcat, The requested resource is not avaliable. Whts the problem?

The tomcat is already running. But it is not able to find the resource for Apache Home Page.
As you are running the server from eclipse and eclipse doesn't copy the tomcat "ROOT"folder (where the welcome/index pages are) , therefore you need to manually copy the "ROOT" folder from your
{tomcat directory}\webapps .Copy and then go to your Eclipse workspace, go to the .metadata folder, and search for "wtpwebapps". You should find something like your-eclipse-workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps (or .../tmp1/wtpwebapps if you already had another server registered in Eclipse). Go to the wtpwebapps folder, paste/merge ROOT. Then reload "http://localhost:8080/" to see the Tomcat welcome page.
