title: HTTP 404 when trying to run a jsp file in eclipse
body: <p>I get 404 error when trying to run a jsp file eclipse. The confusing thing is the server is running and I can go to <code>localhost:8080</code> without any problems. I have attached an image of my configuration of server, the jsp file and also the location of the file and the error. </p>

  <p>More information:</p>
  
  <p>I am using TOMCAT 7, ECLIPSE KEPLER I have checked the location of <code>helloworld.jsp</code> its in WebContent. I have restarted the server.  I have created another dynamic web project nothing works. I get the same problem I can go to <code>localhost:8080</code> but I cant run an JSP file </p>
  
  <p><strong>SOLVED:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Okay guys its pretty simple to solve this problem. There are two things you need to try.</p>
  
  <p>1)Right click your project and export the war file into <code>C:\ProgramFiles\Tomcat7</code> folder 
  If this does not work then.</p>
  
  <p>2) Right click your project and export the war file into some directory and copy the war file into <code>C:\ProgramFiles\Tomcat7</code> then start the Tomcat server and there you go your JSP file work. </p>
  
  <p>You will probably end up doing step 2 because of stupid windows file permissions </p>
  
  <p>Also thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it. </p>
