Please Help with Deploying of a Simple Tomcat Project

Question

Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum to post this question.I have a Tomcat folder named "TomcatProject", it has the proper directory structure as the Tomcat Project.
I want to deploy it into a Windows Server 2000 OS, so i will be deploying it in the {Tomcat Installation} / webapps/ my directory ..... Is this right?... (TC 5.0.28, Java 1.4.2)
But I keep getting the resource not availabe error.Error 404.Kindly let me know what the problem is .....
Any Help would be greatly appreciated

Close enough forum :-)
Ok Quick checklist.
Tomcat is running?
You can access the Tomcat home page
http://localhost:8080 ?
In [myDirectory] you have a folder called WEB-INF,
with a valid web.xml file?
Your website should be:
http://localhost:8080/[myDirectory]/myJspPage.jsp
where [myDirectory] is the name of the directory
under webapps.
I will you point you in the direction of a tutorial.
This should be installed on your machine as well:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev
/index.html
specifically
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/appdev
/deployment.html
cheers,
