Can't start Tomcat with Eclipse: "Address already in use"

Question

I can't start my tomcat server. I was trying almost everything. Switching location doesn't help, as a server location. I'm on Windows 8.

Here I post my console errors:

 org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init

Answer 1

By default, Tomcat is configured to start on port 8080 but you have something already bound to that port. It is likely to be another instance of the Tomcat web server.

Address already in use: JVM_Bind :8080 in the log means that your machine already has a service listening on port 8080. Find it, either with netstat (command line tool) or TCP View (graphical tool), shut it down, then restart Tomcat. It should get past that error.

Alternatively, configure Tomcat in Eclipse to start on a different port by double clicking on the Tomcat vx.x Server at localhost line in the Servers tab and changing all the ports shown on the right hand side of the window that appears to something different.

Answer 2

Just simply change all ports like :Tomcat admin port,Http/1.1 and Ajp/1.3

Example Tomcat admin port :8005 change to 8004, Http/1.1 :8080 change to 8081, Ajp/1.3 :8009 change to 8008.
