Not able to connect to localhost:8080??

[j.gohel]

Hi,

I have jdk 5 version installed on my laptop.I installed Apache Tomcat 5.5 version with default settings.But when i tried to access the index page
using the url : http://localhost:8080 the browser pompted me for a login dialog box.Even after providing my local system user account's user id and password AND using admin as user name and password none it didnt worked.

When i saw the logs i got the following information:

Error initializing endpoint:
java.net.BindException : Address already in use:JVM_Bind:8080
at org.apache.tomcat.util.net_PoolTcpEndPoint........ ......................................

.....................
..........

Severe:Catalina.start
LifecycleExceptionrotocolhandler initialization failed:
java.net.BindException:Address already in use JVM_Bind:8080
at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initialize ..........
...........................................

Error Starting End point
java.net.BindException : Address already in use:JVM_Bind:8080
.................................................. .................................................. .

After that i installed Tomcat 4.1 version.But in this case when i run the start script by setting the required variables like CATALINA_HOME..etc ,i dont get anything and the console window gets closed immediately in a second with some error but i was not able to view the error.Also i checked logs but nothing was available.

So can anybody please let me know what could be the problems and how to resolve them ??

I'd guess that you already have a program running on port 8080, or that you're trying to run a couple Tomcat services on port 8080, and they're conflicting with each other.

Check the server.xml file to make sure you aren't running, say, HTTP and HTTPS on the same port (or any of the other services). Also check your machine to make sure you don't have any other programs running on that port.

Belisarius,

I am not aware of how to check which programs are running on which port??Can you please let me know this thing??

What is this? some Linux dereviate? because then

> netstat -lnp

should show you every thing which is listening on any port.

Actually, Windows has netstat as well. But yes, netstat is the default method for discovering what ports on a machine are active.
