I got this error just after getting an Ubuntu error with eclipse and it forced to close the program.
Several ports (8005, 8080, 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).
I got that error even after stopping manually the server
$> sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat7 stop
* Stopping Tomcat servlet engine tomcat7 [ OK ]
$> sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat7 status
* Tomcat servlet engine is not running.
What could I do without having to reboot the computer?
System details
- Ubuntu 13.10
- Eclipse Kepler Service Release 1
- Tomcat v 7.0.50
