This is normal.
When you start Tomcat manually, it uses YOUR-TOMCAT-HOME/webapps as
default webapp directory. This directory contains "ROOT" webapp (visible
on context "/"), and that is the welcome page you see.
On the other side, when you start Tomcat inside Eclipse, it uses some
other webapp folder like
YOUR-ECLIPSE-WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/wtpwebapps,
which doesn't contains ROOT webapp (or, sometimes contains blank ROOT
webapp). In that case on context "/" (http://localhost:8080/), you will
get either HTTP error 404 or blank page.

Interesting Things are happening with my Tomcat.
Points to Note:
1. I am installing tomcat version 6.x and than running it by clicking
startup.bat file and it is running fine as when I check in browser typing
http://localhost:8080/ it shows me the Apache Foundation Welcome pages
saying that Installation works fine.
2. Interesting thing to note is that when I stop my server using
shutdown.bat file than it work fine but now if I start my server using
eclipse than it starts but when I go to browser to check Apache Foundation
Welcome Page than it is not there and I get message as under and it is
confusing.
