This list is very active, and due to the amount of noise, it's hard to see or respond to every message. I'm sure it's not personal :)
Anyway, I don't know the background on your problem, but the "address already in use" issue is certainly not going to help anything. You've got to figure out what you have running that could be using that port. I can't remember which app servers use which ports for sure, but almost certainly you already have an app server running. Do a $ ps -ef | more and scour the list of processes. Do you have Turbine/tdk? Zope? OpenACS/AOLServer? Anything else? As a last resort, (but I really recommend you find the conflict instead), you could edit your $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml file and change your non-SSL HTTP connector entry to use a different port, like say 8675. Then create the following file in your $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT File test.jsp--------------------------- <html><head><title>Test</title></head> <body> <% String s = "Hello World."; %> <h1>This is my test page</h1> <%=s%> </body> </html> (end of test.jsp)------------------------ Now point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8675/test.jsp You should see a page that says "This is my test page Hello World." Good luck.
