Got error "java.net.BindException: Address already in use"

Dear all,


I am new to tomcat.

After I have installed tomcat, and try to start it up with the startup.sh
I got the fatal error 
"java.net.BindException: Address already in use"

As a result, the tomcat cannot be started.

Could somebody help to advise !!

this means that something is already listening on the port that tomcat is
trying to listen on.  try changing the port value in server.xml...
