Starting tomcat server at localhost has encountered a p‌r‌o‌b‌l‌e‌m

Question

Basically I have followed all the instructions to run Java EE programs. I have downloaded and installed tomcat apache server and configured 8080 port on it (it runs successfully on my pc). And I have downloaded and installed Eclipse IDE and connected it to the server.

Then I tried testing it via this simple code:

<html>
    <body>
        <h3>Hello World</h3>
        <p>The time on server is <%= new java.util.Date()  %></p>
    </body>
</html>

But whenever I run it I faced this problem:

Starting tomcat server at localhost has encountered a problem

You can see the full error message in this image

or, as the error says, you could have other process using those ports that need to be stopped for tomcat to work — Zeromus, Sep 15 '17 at 10:31
Stop the server which is using your current port and start the server.Follow these instructions. — Pradeep, Sep 15 '17 at 10:36

Hi, your port 8080 is busy. Do you have skype running ? Most of the time skype is the problem (it uses 8080 as alternative port). You have to change this setting or just quit skype. — tobieski, Sep 15 '17 at 11:16

there are two ways to resolve the query:

Try to kill the process on port 8080 and re run the tomcat.
Run the tomcat on other port. Steps to change the port are as below:
