I've had trouble with this, and found that it's because Tomcat doesn't
shutdown properly. I'm getting an exception when I run the shutdown.sh
script.
I get around this problem for now by getting the process id of the first
java thread in the process list, which you can get with the 'ps ax' command.
--- Partial output from ps ax --
8546 pts/2 S 0:07 /usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -
8591 pts/2 S 0:00 /usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -
8592 pts/2 S 0:00 /usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/i386/native_threads/java -
---
and then issuing a 'kill 8546' command. You would substitute the process id
of your topmost java thread.
This kills all of the Java threads, which will then allow Tomcat to startup
properly.
Regards
Stephen.

It's trying to bind a port that already exists on your machine. Do you
already have a web server or java server running? Changing the ports in
server.xml file in your conf directory.
Cheers,
Dave

output from execute the startup.sh.
Please help, thanks.
