Hi Sampath,
This is most likely one of two things:
1) Some other program is already running and using port 8080. You can use netstat to
check this
out. You might to telnet to port 8080 and see what you get.
2) This may be because you had previously started Tomcat, without stopping it, and are
now trying to
start it again. You should stop tomcat using the shutdown scripts, or, easier -- use
the tomcat.sh
script (type 'tomcat.sh' to see usage) to start and shutdown Tomcat.
