Can't start Tomcat - Error running Tomcat 5.5: Address localhost:8080 is already in use Follow
All the sudden I started getting this error on Win XP with IDEA 6.0.5. I've seen it before when I didn't cleanly shutdown my webapp. But what's different this time is I know port 8080 is not in use. I verified this with "netstat -a". I've tried rebooting, etc. I even tried starting up Tomcat as a standalone service - it starts fine, thus proving that port 8080 was not in use before.
I looked in the idea.log file, and I see several instances of this:
2009-02-09 00:41:03,000 [ 17891] INFO - r.jabber.impl.JabberFacadeImpl - SASL authentication failed

But that doesn't seem to be related to the Tomcat 8080 problem - if I repeatedly try to run my Tomcat webapp from within IDEA, I don't see anything logged to idea.log.
Any ideas how to get around this problem?
thanks,

I'm getting this now with IDEA 9, same thing. Running on Linux, my Tomcat is confingured to come up on 8444. I get the error message:
"Error running Local Server: Address localhost:8080 is already in use"
...which is true, another server is running there. However, the run target is using a Tomcat that is not configured to come up at 8080, so why the complaint?

Looks like Tomcat configuration wasn't correctly analyzed by IDEA. Could you please attach your /conf/server.xml file?

I have also the same pb. Altough tomcat's server.xml is configured to use port 9090, the problem occurs.
It also crashes using Jetty web server configured on 9090.
My machine: Ubuntu 8.4, jdk 1.6_18, Idea.93-94.
Is there a workaround or smth in configuring Idea to get this running?
Ps: attach the server.xml
