Maybe tomcat is running as a service. Run CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.bat or shutdown.sh.

The problem is that if you are on a mac or some other linux variant, ports below 1024 are restricted for root access only. What you'll need to do is using the Terminal, navigate to the
cd /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/ folder and then type:
sudo ./idea
to run as root. Then your server will start on port 80.
Perhaps you have other WebServer running in background (like IIS or Apache?)
Normally, Tomcat uses port 8080 as default (http://localhost:8080).
no there isn't other web server running or installed. When i installed tomcat i tried it with port 8080 and port 80. Always the same error message
thanks
