I have problem in shutting down tomcat server. When I type localhost://8080, it keeps on showing me tomcat homepage. I restarted the system also but did not help. I have already tried following commands and it did not show any process which might be running on port 8080 (Following commands did not output anything.)

netstat -anp|grep :8080[[:blank:]]



fuser -n tcp 8080



lsof -w -n -i tcp:8080



netstat | grep 8080

I also tried netstat -tulpn which shows following. I dont see any process running on port 8080 there.

Could someone please tell me how to free port 8080. I tried to run ./shutdown of tomcat but it shoed java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

I guess it is because of already running instant on port8080.

Thanks.

If you installed tomcat from Software Center (or via apt-get command line), then it should be running from the standard ubuntu installation directory. Starting and stopping Tomcat should be as easy as

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start

/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop

Maybe 5.5 needs to be replaced by the version you are using.

If you just downloaded tomcat and are running from your custom unzipped directory, the startup and shutdown scripts provided by Apache should work. Assuming your tomcat is in $TOMCAT_HOME:

$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh

$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh

If all fails, you can always manually kill all java processes

killall java

or, if something is REALLY stuck

killall -9 java

These last ones will kill ALL java processes currently running.
