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

It says the port number 8009 is already occupied by some other process running on your OS try searching for that process and stop it or make your tomcat to run on different (free) port

Answer 2

kill the respective (listening) process on this port i.e. 8009. use

netstat -a -o -n

to look for the PID of the process. It may look something like this TCP [::]:8009 [::]:0 LISTENING 892

use the taskkill command to kill the process. example:

taskkill /F /PID 892

Answer 3

Something else is using port 8009.

Either shut down the thing that is using 8009 or change your server.xml to use another port than 8009

Answer 4

Other Tomcat is running on the same port so better to kill using 9 rather than 15

kill -9 PID

This was helpful to me.

Answer 5

Update all available ports one by one with ports that are free. This must fix the issue

31-Jul-2019 16:28:30.641 SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.await StandardServer.await: create[localhost:8005]: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

Answer 6

these lines :

SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["ajp-bio-8009"]
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind <null>:8009  

imply that there is already a service running on port 8009. is there a tomcat (with ajp) running already?

if the service running on 8009 is needed you could change the connector configuration in server.xml to something like below :

<Connector port="8089" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />
