Hi, did you check if the axis.war has been deployed in the webapps folder?
The folder apache-tomcat-${version}/webapps/axis2/ should exist.

I have installed apache Tomcat as a servlet container for Axis 2. My install of Axis 2 is, however, not responding I have downloaded a standard binary distribution with the .war file. I have also set up the environment variable AXIS2_HOME. When I start Tomcat and invoke the http://<host :port>/axis2 I see 404 error with message informing me that apache axis is not available. The war file is in the Tomcat folder. However I checked to see if I should build a new .war file using ant create.war in the ..\module\webapp\scripts folder where the build.xml file is located. The build failed. As a new axis implementer I would like to know if anyone has an idea what may be wrong here at this stage? Kind regards Martin Harrison
