404 error while Apache Tomcat server start up

When I have tried to start up the Apache tomcat server, it was started properly without showing any exceptions in the console. But, when I have tried running the URL in the browser I got the 404 -server start up issue. This is the problem occurred when I tried Apache tomcat server start up from the eclipse server tab.

When I have tried running the server through command line, it was working as expected without any issues. When I have tried server start up from the eclipse as per the console not prints the any exceptions. It has showed the message as server started. Below is the console information.

This is the screenshot which I am getting while running the URL(http://localhost:8888/). I changed my tomcat port number from 8080 to 8888.

 Reason behind getting this issue:
  1. Apache Tomcat server might started properly. But, it is not able to find the resource for Apache Home page.
  2. As you are running the server in eclipse, eclipse doesn’t copy the tomcat “ROOT” folder. 
Solution:
To solve this problem, follow the below points.
  1. You need to manually copy the “ROOT” folder from your {tomcat installed directory}/webapps.  
  2. Go to your eclipse work space and go into .metadata folder and search for “wtpwebapps” Or tmp1/wtpwebapps if you have already started another server in eclipse.
  3. Go to the wtpwebapps folder, paste/merge ROOT folder. Then re-load the URL (http://localhost:8888/).

At a time, two or more threads are accessing the same object is called as Multithreading  in Java .  First, we will create two threads for two objects.
