Greetings,

I have been facing this problem for quite a while, at the beginning everything was ok until I decided to add another html page to my project in WEB-CONTENT and now it wont even run the first html file/page that I already was successful to load at the beginning, all configuration steps were done as mentioned here :[reference] (http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/tomcat-7-with-eclipse.html)
what I tried already:

-Copied root directory
- Made sure Apache Tomcat 7.0 was chosen to execute as file was being created
- switched locations in the properties menu when right clicking on the server in console area
- Allowed Eclipse to take over control of the installation of Tomcat
- checked web.xml and my html script is listed as a welcome page...

The index.html file includes a header and a couple of bold letters its very basic
that it runs in the preview pane when selecting a file in windows explorer.

I checked my directories several times as well as uninstalling and re-installing.

Any help appreciated.
