Why can't I access APIs deployed in a newly created jetty base directory?

I am using jetty server for my apps, so I have this web app, and when I deploy it in ${JETTY_HOME}/webapps, it works fine, I can access the APIs I have created locally and remotely.

But when I create a new jetty base directory, and deploy my web app there, I cannot access these APIs and I get a 404 error.

Any idea about things I might have done incorrectly? I am new in web development, so any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.
