Moving to our Apache Tomcat forum

[William Brogden]

LifecycleException: Protocol handler initialization failed: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind:9090    

That says there is already something using 9090 on your machine - port conflicts are always fatal. Maybe you already have an instance of tomcat running?

Other errors seem to be related to XML files - what have you changed from a normal Tomcat installation?

Generally speaking when trying to get help you should also mention:
Java Version, Tomcat Version, how Tomcat was installled and Operating System version.

"java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind:9090"

This could be one of the problems. Its trying to connect to the port 9090 which is not free. Please check this by executing 'netstat -a' in command prompt.

[Yogendra Joshi]

Well , easy way to get out of this is , goto TOMCAT INSTALL DIR/CONF/server.xml and goto a tag called

<Service name="Catalina" >

You would see a attribute called "port" which would have 9090 defined , change it to some other port and restart the server..

I am sure it would work.

Thats the simplest and the only solution i know..
