Starting tomcat v7.0 server at localhost encountered a problem

Several ports (8086, 8009) required by Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost are 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)

Answer 1

You need to find out which process are running over that port and if it is not needed you can kill them

or you can change your tomcat's configuration to start the Tomcat instance on another port

for this you need to edit your server.xml file located at TOMCAT_DIR/conf/
