I downloaded and unzip Tomcat im my home directory, then configured Tomcat in Eclipse and started the instance from the Servers tab. When I try and open localhost:8080, I get an Http Status 404 error with this message: The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. Why is the default application not loading?

By Default Eclispe configures the Server Location of a new Tomcat instance to Use workspace metadata. You'll find that folder in your workspace under folder .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0

Therein you'll find a folder named webapps which is empty. Hence there is no app deployed at all and Tomcat can only spit out 404 response to any HTTP request.

You can copy applications from you downloaded apache-tomcat.zip/webapps folder into your Eclipse webapps folder which is in your case: C:\Users\hendre\Documents\FileSystem\Lot 24 Media\Eclipse Workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\webapps

Alternatively you can switch Server Location setting to Use Tomcat Installation.

BTW: If you develop and add a web application from within Eclipse to the Tomcat instance this will be deployed to wtpwebapps - in your case: C:\Users\hendre\Documents\FileSystem\Lot 24 Media\Eclipse Workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps
