Tomcat Installation/Config Error

[Ryan Tanz]

I'm installing (using Windows installer .exe) Tomcat 5 on one of my servers at work. I was following instructions from http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/
It did previously have an older Tomcat 5.x on it. I uninstalled, the followed the instructions for 5.5.9. Installation went fine. Now when I try to run Start->Programs->Tomcat->Configure Tomcat I get an error of Application System Error : An instance of 'Tomcat5' application is already running. So I then go to program files/apache soft/tomcat/bin/tomcat5w.exe.
I set Tomcat to be automatically started and start the service. I then try to log onto localhost:8080. It cant find the server. I open back up the tomcat5w.exe file and find that the service has been stopped. I find it to be the same way in my administrative tools->services. Tomcat gets killed immediately after the service starts. What's the deal?

Edit: I'm using j2re1.4.2_06 as my JVM (along with the compatability files) and I tried using jre1.5.0_04 and I get the same problem.

Edit: Ok. Somehow I got my localhost:8080 to work. It displays the tomcat thing but once i run tomcat I get this error.

Hi Ryan Tanz,

Here is the problem with port number 8080.

Plz change that port number to some other number like 8082,8083..etc.

For that you have to

tomcat/conf/server.xml

under that plz serach for 8080,
i think it will give 2 matches their you can change your server's port number to 8082 and stop the tomcat and restart it.

it will work for you.

Thanks

[sweta naidu]

If you dont want to change the port number then type http://localhost:8080 and see which server is running at that port and shut that down by going to control panel.

[Dharmesh Gangani]

Hi,

The error means that the some service is already running at port 8080. Tou can change the port to some other number like 8085, 8086, etc. and restart the server.

Also, you can re-install tomcat 5.0. During its installation, it asks for a port number. you can soecify any other port number. (this is only for tomcat 5.0 installation)
