Tomcat 9 getting BindException Address is already in use

Question

I installed tomcat 9 and tried to run tomcat9.exe by double clicking it expected server to start, instead I saw that command prompt is just closing immediately without starting the server. I am using jdk 1.8 , I tried few solution to solve this problem like changing

call "%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS% to call "%EXECUTABLE%" run %CMD_LINE_ARGS% in startup.bat

and even I set JAVA_HOME in catalina.bat

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101

after above changes I tried to run startup.bat but I am getting below exception saying

after this I changed port number in server.xml from 8080 to 9090

  <Connector port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" />

still I am getting same exception can anyone help me how to solve this problem.

I am unable to start the tomcat server by tomcat9.exe or startup.bat

Answer 1

Your error is with the AJP connector on port 8009.

I'd leave the 8080 connector the way that it was.

Search for this line and change it:

<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />
