enter image description hereTomcat starts but Home Page does NOT open on browser with URL http://localhost:8080

I was running Apache Tomcat from Eclipse and while accessing URL http://localhost:8080 found HTTP Status 404 – Not Found error.

Description: The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

Tomcat starts but doesn’t display webpage. What can be wrong with tomcat?

Production Tomcat has a ROOT application deployed for that by default. When launching from Eclipse, only your own projects are deployed.
