Bind Address in Use error
I was getting this error when trying to start tomcat:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use:8080
LifecycleException: Protocol handler initialization failed: java.net.BindException: Address already in use:8080
To fix this, I followed these instructions:
- Find the zombie process holding the port open: netstat -anp | grep 8080
- use kill -9 to stop it
