What is did is : Eclipse -> Window -> Show View -> Servers -> DoubleClick on Tomcat Server -> Change admin port to "1" and leave the HTTP port to "8081" . Make sure to kill any processes which are running on port 8080. You will find your project on localhost:8081/java project name , Hope this will works!

The error says that the port is already in use. There are two options;

Change tomcat port

  1. Double click on Tomcat server instance and edit the port Tomcat Properties
  2. Save the settings

Identify program running on port

  • On Windows
    1. Open Run prompt. Type Windows + R
    2. Type perfmon /res and press OK
    3. On Resource Monitor, on Network tab, look for the port under Listening Ports Resource Monitor

  • On Linux

    1. Execute netstat -tulpn | grep :<port>, e.g. netstat -tulpn | grep :8080

  • Find the process and kill it.

Update

Here, the user was facing issues with starting server even after changing the ports and the respective ports were not displayed as used. The user got it resolved by restarting the computer. User's operating system: Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1.
