windows keeping port locked after shutting down tomcat
I have a problem that is happening on 3 different sets of server at different sites. The issue is that after I shut down a Tomcat (7 and 8.5 versions) service on Windows server and then try to restart the service it will not start because tomcat thinks the ports are still in use. Here is a snippet of the error and it throws the error for 8080, 8443, and 8009 when trying to restart this specific server: SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"] java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind <null>:8080 at org.apache.tomcat.util.net
