Where did you put your html file? It looks like you're trying to get your html from the root of tomcat. if you put your file in your own webapp, you should try http://localhost/yourwebapp/zyx.html <http://localhost/yourwebapp/zyx.html> NOT http://localhost/zyx.html <http://localhost/zyx.html> . Hope this will solve your problem. cheers, Michael

I am a new student of Tomcat. My computer is M.S. WindowsXP. I downloaded and installed Tomcat successfully. I wrote a simple HTML web page (see the attacted file) and put it in Tomcat. But it cann't be browsed. I try to put it in different directory in Tomcat, but the Tomcat reaction is same, see the follows. Before I write email to you, I read Tomcat FAQ at jGuru, no answer mutch my problem. the FAQ-o-matic pages cann't be accessed, maybe some one is updating these pages. I am a brand new student, just like a dummy, please take a special care to me. I am waiting for your answer. Thanks Qilong Lu HTTP Status 404 - /zyx.html _____ type Status report message /zyx.html description The requested resource (/zyx.html) is not available. _____
