can't launch tomcat in eclipse

[vijaya saradhi]

hi ranchers.

I was trying to create a dynamic web project in elipse.For this I need to create a server project .The problem is even though I was able to launch apache tomcat from outside eclipse tool, like startup and shutdown etc.

I followed these steps for creating the project
1.control panel ->admin tools-> services stopped tomcat.
2.opened eclipse -->selected workspace->gave project name -->selcted tomcat base dir -->added the server .


but when I clicked on the Run As -->Run On Server it shows ports 8005 8080 8009 are aleady in use.


I am using windows vista home edition on sony vaio machine.

please help me to run the tomcat project

adv thanks , saradhi

Use a tool like TCPView from sysinternals to see what is using those ports. Then you will have to decide to either (a) stop the app using those ports, or (b) change the ports used by Tomcat.
