apache tomcat 8009 port in use

Question

When i Start tomcat on eclipse i got this message:

Port 8009 required by Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost is already in use. The server may already be running in another process, or a system process may be using the port. To start this server you will need to stop the other process or change the port number(s).

when i start tomcat manually it gives me this exceptions track:

How can fix it? Another tomcat is not running, i checked with localhost:8080. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check with netstat -ntlp | grep :8009 to see what process is using 8009 already.

Answer 2

Kill the process first. Then check your %TOMCAT_HOME%/conf/server.xml file. You should replace port="8009" with port="8010".

Answer 3

double check by running ps -ef | grep tomcat to kill -9 the process or from your task manager if there is any java process running to terminate it. Most likely your previous tomcat startup session wasn't ended normally.

Answer 4

For Ubuntu/Linux

Step 1: Find the process id that is using the port 8009

netstat -lnp | grep 8009
or
ps -aef | grep tomcat

Step 2: Kill the process using process id in above result

kill -9 process_id

For Windows

Step 1: Find the process id

netstat -ano | findstr 8009

Step 2: Open command prompt as administrator and kill the process

taskkill /F /pid process_id_from_step_1

Changing Port Number

In you wan to run two Apache tomcat in parallel then change the conflicting port number in Eclipse server overview.

1. Open Eclipse

2. Go to Servers panel

3. Double click the configured server name to open Overview window

4. Open the Portstab. You will get the following:

   • Tomcat adminport

   • HTTP/1.1

   • AJP/1.3

5. Change conflicting port number of AJP/1.3 (e.g. to 9009)

6. You might have to also change the port of Tomcat admin port (e.g. to 9005) and of HTTP/1.1 (e.g. to 9090).

7. Save it (ctrl+s) and start your server.

Answer 5

Your port 8009 is already in use. It can be another tomcat or something different.
You should manually kill any tomcat process.
EDIT: assuming you are on Windows platform, kill all javaw.exe process using CTRL-ALT-Suppr

Answer 6

check the file server.xml in folder \apache-tomcat-6.0.32\conf the port address will be mentioned, if it is 8080, try changing it to 8081 and start the server and call localhost:8081

in server.xml it will be like below:

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
