messages and then the error messages. It's on sun solaris. Why am I
getting this error and how can I overcome this.

Hi Sampath,

This is most likely one of two things:
1) Some other program is already running and using port 8080.  You can use netstat to check this
out.  You might to telnet to port 8080 and see what you get.

2) This may be because you had previously started Tomcat, without stopping it, and are now trying to
start it again.  You should stop tomcat using the shutdown scripts, or, easier -- use the tomcat.sh
script (type 'tomcat.sh' to see usage) to start and shutdown Tomcat.

This usually happens when tomcat's default port (8080) is already in use.

A simple check would be to point your browser to "http://localhost:8080" and
see if you have another http service running on that port.

If not, it could be that some other service is using that port.
