Tomcat is already up and running.. what it is telling you is that it can't bind to the
specified port (probably 8080) because something else has already done this (most
likely tomcat).
You can shutdown using the shutdown.sh/bat script or if necessary kill the java
process.
Try 'ps -aef | grep java' and you should see any running instances of tomcat. But
again, the preferred way to shutdown is through the script.
