For some reasons tomcat does not run. I've looked at various tutorials and (as usual) the solutions won't work, I've put the log output below. I have done a fresh install of tomcat as well as linking it to eclipse however when trying to start the service in eclipse this is the output before the server stops.

    you have another application listening in port 8005 – Arun P Johny Apr 08 '13 at 08:47
  • It tells you that something is already running on port 8005. Find that process, stop it and restart Tomcat. What OS are you using? – fvu Apr 08 '13 at 08:47
  • Using windows 7 , K i'll stop that now – H65 Apr 08 '13 at 08:48
  • in task manager, check for any other java processes running – Arun P Johny Apr 08 '13 at 08:52
  • 've got this assignment due in a few days , thanks for the feedback it helped straight away !! – H65 Apr 08 '13 at 08:53

This exception tells you, that some other application is listening on the same port (8005).

The challenge for you is to find the other process that is using the port. You don't specify what OS you use.

On Windows you could use netstat, under Linux you could give nmapa try to find the other process.

The issue can happen on Windows when nobody don't use port. Namely, Windows TCP engine sometime keep time-wait port for a long time. Solution is wait to Windows release the port or restart. On Linux the Issue can happen only if there is other process. It can be found with lsof
