What to do when tomcat7 localhost:8080 is not working?

I had that working some time ago. Now, I found out that I had uninstalled tomcat7, thus I installed it again, following the very same (my) procedure I had followed back then:

How to install Strabon for Linux

So, when I access http://localhost:8080/ I am getting a 404, like this:

HTTP Status 404 - /

type Status report

message /

description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.52 (Ubuntu)

but when I access http://localhost:8080/strabonendpoint/, everything works fine! What is going on? I want to access http://localhost:8080/ in my browser and get the message "It works!".

The port listeners:

gsamaras@gsamaras:~$ netstat -t | grep 8080
gsamaras@gsamaras:~$

My /etc/tomcat7/server.xml:

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           URIEncoding="UTF-8"
           redirectPort="8443" />

My webapps:

gsamaras@gsamaras:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps$ ls
ROOT  strabonendpoint  strabonendpoint.war
gsamaras@gsamaras:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT$ ls
strabonendpoint-temp
gsamaras@gsamaras:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT$ cd strabonendpoint-temp/
gsamaras@gsamaras:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT/strabonendpoint-temp$ ls
fnehnd4mdc3vvr93fdt227p886.kml

Is tomcat listening on port 8080?

gsamaras@gsamaras:/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps$ sudo netstat -tlnp |grep java
tcp6       0      0 127.0.0.1:8005          :::*                    LISTEN      6841/java       
tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      6841/java

The contents of your ROOT folder is why it's not working, why strabon put that temp file and kml file in there I can't say. If you put an "index.html" (I think) file in the ROOT folder and make it's contents "It Works!" You'll be able to see what I mean.

(second alternative) Go into your web apps folder. Rename the application folder to ROOT, then restart tomcat and you'll be able to access it at the initial Url you mentioned.
