Question

I’m having trouble with Tomcat my test site. When I enter it gives an error:

HTTP Status 404 - /Liferay/

type Status report

message /Liferay/

Description The requested Resource is not available. Apache Tomcat/7.0.57

Here are the part of the msg console, which seems to be a problem:

Answer 1

You are trying to access the application root lifeway. For log, the liferay.war is successfully loaded.

However, there seems to be something wrong with this WAR, because the boot time of 156 milliseconds is very small, less than the examples.

Most likely the WAR is empty or the application does not have a map to the URL in question.

Is this a WAR from the well-known Liferay portal manager or is this a project of yours? If you are from the portal, check if WAR is not corrupted or if you downloaded the correct version.

Also check if there are other specific logs, they may show internal application errors.

Answer 2

Error 404 means that you are trying to access a/Resource file on the server, which does not exist, so the server returns a status to you 404 which would be this such "Error 404" so you know that the server could not find it, check which file you are trying to access and fix the path and file name, because if the file exists, this 404 error will not happen.
