Tomcat not starting (throwing java.net.BindException: )

Question

I have done the following settings to run a Java web project but somehow my Tomcat is not starting from Eclipse:

JAVA_HOME : C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.6.0_         


        

Answer 1

This generally happens if the Connector / shutdown port of the tomcat is already being used. First, run the shutdown.bat (Sometimes we miss out that one instance of the tomcat is already running) Next, in the command prompt run

netstat -aon | findstr 0.0:

To get the PID of the application that is currently using your port. Either kill that application or use some other port which is not listed when you run

netstat -a -o -n
