Tomcat startup

[radhika nachiar]

I downloaded and configured the server . I do have some problems while starting up the server. Here I am giving the errors, pls look into that and help me if you can. I would greatly appreciate it.
C:\Tomcat403\bin>startup

Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Tomcat403
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Tomcat403\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\j2sdk14
C:\Tomcat403\bin>
In the other window:

the window disappears suddenly.
I couldn't understand why it is coming like this.
Thanks

Catalina.start: LifecycleException: null.open: java.net.BindException: Address
already in use: JVM_Bind:80  

is pretty obvious - something else on your system is using port 80. It may be an instance of Tomcat started as a service.
