I had the same problem, check the services under control panel, you will most probably have something else using that port.
I personally had IBM HTTP server using it. But it may be a database service, if you have one running. If you know what it is, and it is not essential to run, you can stop the process. otherwise you can change the port Tomcat uses. the settings can be found in the server.xml file. just search for 8080 and change the port. You may have to do a bit of trial and error to get a free port, I used 9090 when I was testing different version of Tomcat. -----Original Message----- From: Marquez, Maceo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 April 2002 4:58 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: port 8080 I am brand new to the Tomcat communicty and recently installed Tomcat successfully on my win2000 pc.
