HTTP Status 404 - / type Status report message / description The requested resource is not available. Apache Tomcat/7.0.35

Hi All,

Installed the vcenter 5.5u2 on windows 2012R2, when accessing to the vcenter via webclient by https://fqdn-vcenter:9443/, got the following error message:

HTTP Status 404 - /

type Status report

message /

description The requested resource is not available.   

Apache Tomcat/7.0.35

Can anyone tell me when the Apache Tomcat service is installed: Windows 2012 R2 OS installation or during the vCenter 5.5 application installed, or something else I missed?

What is the resolution to fix the above issue?

Any guide I can refer to?

Thanks,

J

Same thing occurs when you access the URL https://fqdn-vcenter:9443/vsphere-client ? If yes, did you installed the vSphere Web Client on a directory different than the default ? Take a look here: VMware KB: Connecting to vSphere Web Client fails with the error: HTTP Status 404

thanks for your pointing it out. re-install it to the C: drive it works as per the documentation.
