And it tells me to display the Tomcat manager application through this link http://localhost:8080/manager/html.

However when I click it I get an error from my browser saying it could not connect. Why is this? How exactly does one display the Tomcat Manager Application

If you are launching tomcat from within Eclipse (using the webtools tomcat server adapter) you will have to make sure you have changed the settings to use the installation directory to launch instead of the default which uses a separate location for loading and deploying webapps. So just having the manager in your webapps in the tomcat installation wont be enough to see the manager since by default tomcat launched by Eclipse doesn't look for apps in the webapps folder.

Just make sure that catalina.base and catalina.home point to the tomcat installation directory

I solved that problem by setting up the server management in Eclipse to take control of the Tomcat installation, which has the manager enabled. This thread explains how to do it:

Tomcat started in Eclipse but unable to connect to http://localhost:8085/

Anyway I have the console at the address you mentioned:

localhost:8080/manager/html

in Tomcat 7.
