Yes, port was changed to 80. Basically, the index.jsp page supplied with Tomcat(in the ROOT directory) works, but dropping my own simple page in there and I get the error described above

Windows ME
Tomcat 5.0.18
Autoexec.bat:
JAVA_HOME - set to sdk install dir
CATALINA_HOME - set to Tomcat install dir
CLASSPATH - set to include servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar
however a simple jsp page in webapps/Root gives me a 404 error.
"The requested resource is not available"
Servlets aren't working either. I've also uncommented some part of files etc as per: http://www.coreservlets.co
Any ideas??

The error suggests that the page is not found so an error with the path basically....
the path after http://localhost/ will be the path after the webapps folder in your Tomcat folder..... so check on that
if the sample jsp's are working then there is no reason other than incorrect path or syntax error in jsp, in which case the compilation will not be done
check if you can really run a sample jsp page....not the first page of http://localhost/ which will be given in the left menu as sample examples or something like that

Make sure that you specify the URL properly.....
ples/jsp/l ibrary/ind ex.jsp
Make sure the Port where Tomcat is configured is given in the URL....
By default the Port is 8080 and the URL will look like
http://localhost:8080/exam
check whether the Tomcat is configured properly by typing the URL http://localhost:8080/ in the address bar
