You need to start the Apache Tomcat services   Win R --  sevices msc   Then  search for Apache Tomcat and right click on it and click on Start  This will start the service and then you ll be able to see Apache Tomcat homepage on the localhost

Eclipse hooks Dynamic Web projects into tomcat and maintains it s own configuration but does not deploy the standard tomcat ROOT war  As http   localhost 8085  link returns 404 does indeed show that tomcat is up and running  just can t find a web app deployed to root   By default  any deployed dynamic web projects use their project name as context root  so you should see http   localhost 8085 yourprojectname working properly  but check the Servers tab first to ensure that your web project has actually been deployed   Hope that helps

Right-click on your project s name in Eclipse s Project Explorer  then click Run As followed by Run on Server   Click the Next button   Make sure your project s name is listed in the Configured  column on the right   If it is  then you should be able to access it with this URL   http   localhost 8085 projectname    Additionally  whenever you make new additions  such as new JSPs  graphics or other resources  to your project  be sure to refresh the project by clicking on its name and then hitting F5   Otherwise Eclipse does not know that those new resources are available and will not make them available to Tomcat to serve

I may be out fishing here  but doesn t Tomcat by default open to port 8080  Try http   localhost 8080 instead

What are you expecting  The default Tomcat homepage  If so  you ll need to configure Eclipse to take control over from Tomcat   Doubleclick the Tomcat server entry in the Servers tab  you ll get the server configuration  At the left column  under Server Locations  select Use Tomcat installation  note  when it is grayed out  read the section leading text        This way Eclipse will take full control over Tomcat  this way you ll also be able to access the default Tomcat homepage with the Tomcat Manager when running from inside Eclipse  I only don t see how that s useful while developing using Eclipse     The port number is not the problem  You would otherwise have gotten an exception in Tomcat s startup log  and the browser would show a browser-specific  Connection timed out  error page and thus not a Tomcat-specific error page which could impossibly be served when Tomcat was not up and running
