Hello,

I have a problem. I am trying to start Tomcat from eclipse. I have WTP
0.7M5 plugin installed and I configured tomcat. When I start tomcat, in
the console I don't see any error and also I looked at all log files under
tomcat and no error but when I try to access http://localhost:8080/
nothing hapens. I only see a blank page.

You need to set the name of your webapp:
http://localhost:8080/foobar

It's possible that the Bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=103430

is at least contributing to the confusion. If you are using Tomcat
5.0.x or 5.5.x, then I would recommend creating "ROOT/WEB-INF" folders
under your
<workspace> /.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp?/webapps
folder. This may avoid your blank responses.

Assuming the URL you are using is correct, there still may be some
reason your web application isn't being served successfully. Hopefully
there would be clues in the Console view for the server, or in a log
file in the ".../org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp?/logs" directory.

Cheers,
Larry
