[shreyansh jain]

hi
I am using Linux/Debian system
when I start tomcat; it is started but I am unable to get the Home Page.

Here is the Catalina.out

One more thing I did before starting Tomcat that I killed the process that is running on port 8080

Any one have any Idea why Home Page is not displayed.

You are correct, some process is using port 8080. Are you sure that you killed the process on port 8080 before starting Tomcat. How did you check it?

By the way, what is Home Page and what does it mean "not displayed"?

Dear shreyansh,

Here is how to troubleshoot the java.net.BindException you are seeing on various operating systems.

Essentially: use netstat.

I used the following command

server02:/usr/local/tomcat# fuser -n tcp 80
80/tcp: 3439 3499 3500 3501 3502 3503
server02:/usr/local/tomcat# fuser -n tcp 8080
8080/tcp: 3504
server02:/usr/local/tomcat# kill -9 3504
server02:/usr/local/tomcat# fuser -n tcp 8080
server02:/usr/local/tomcat# fuser -n tcp 8080
server02:/usr/local/tomcat# /etc/init.d/tomcat start


since running fuser -n tcp 8080 didn't give any output means now no peocess is running on 8080
And here Home Page means the page displayed for logging http://localhost:8080/
