Tomcat doesn't start from eclipse on startup : Several ports (8005, 8080) required by Tomcat Server at localhost are already in use

Question

Everyday when I start my computer, and then attempt to start my tomcat server in eclipse , it gives me following error.

starting tomcat v7.0 server at localhost has encountered a problem

I have googled for this issue but whatever I got was temporary solution/ie killing apache sudo kill $(ps -aef | grep apache| awk '{print $2}') this solves the problem but not permanantly. after entering above command on terminal , I start tomcat from eclipse and then my tomcat server starts.

but I have to enter this command daily before starting my work and also whenever I restart my PC,is there any other permanant solution which can directly allow me to start my tomcat from eclipse.

I have tried adding and removing tomcat server also deleting the server and adding it back,but this doesnt solve the problem.

FYI : I am using ubuntu 14.04,eclipse mars,tomcat version 7.

Answer 1

change the port numbers in server configuration.you should change all the three port number is show in bellow image.

Answer 2

您也可以尝试在启动时禁用自动启动，然后从eclipse启动tomcat。

sudo systemctl disable tomcat7.service

Answer 3

Looks like you have already installed tomcat (or other application) that used 8005 or 8080 port.

You can find that application by command:

sudo netstat -lntp | grep 8080

sudo netstat -lntp | grep 8005

If you not use that application, just remove it :

sudo apt-get remove APP

PS Also you can just run tomcat from eclipse on other (not 8005 and 8080) ports.
