Tomcat Installation

Hello,

I am trying to run Tomcat on my machine and had following problem.

Run Startup under bin directory, window Dos did fire up the second dos window and it's running but it shuts down automatically and no any error message and didn't display welcome page for me.

My Tomcat version is 5.0.16 and under XP Home Edition.

Is anybody out there had same experience?

thanks,

Yumei

Can anybody make some suggestion?

thanks,

Yumei

you have probably installed Tomcat as a service? "Address already in use" means that Tomcat is trying to bind to a port that someone else is already using. That someone else could be the instance of Tomcat that starts with your computer.

Other suspects include 'other web servers', 'other app servers', 'database servers' and 'file sharing applications'.

thank you mike.

but what's that mean? I do have Eclipse and JRE on my machine but I removed them all(uninstall) and reinstall the JDK and tomcat.

the problem is persistant.

How do I check the port is being used?

Hi Yumei,

Before starting tomcat, check if port 8080 is being used by running "netstat". Next, refer to "Local Address" column:

c:\> netstat -na
or
c:\> netstat -na | grep 8080

If the port is being used, track which process is listening on.

Tomcat runs on default port 8080. Check the file server.xml.

<Connector port="8080"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"

For more info on changing port, check out CoreServlet: Change Port.

Joyce,

Thank you very much and I got that smiling face of Tomcat in front of me now. One of the ports is used by my old version of JRE, I think.

thanks,

Yumei
