Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8084 is already in use.

Thanks David. I am using Windows 2000. This is the path of the Tomcat
C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5\enterprise3\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\conf

But when i type http://localhost. IIS is start running as a default. I did change on that line but NetBeans still give me same error:
Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8084 is already in use.

I didnt find any thing like 8084 in that conf.xml file.

Hi,

Do not change to 80 then. It means that IIS is using your port 80. Try to change to some other values. How about 8089?

>>"I didnt find any thing like 8084 in that conf.xml file. "
Hmm....

Can you post your server.xml in your C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5\enterprise3\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\conf?

oh sure.

Thanks.

I dont know where i do the change in the file so i upload it. If any one please tell me where would i go to change the port setting?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try to change
<Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

into
<Connector port="8089" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"

Remember that you need to save it as server.xml. And try to run your Tomcat from your NetBeans again.

David

It gives me same error:

Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8084 is already in use.
C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\WebApplication1\nbproject\build-impl.xml:440: Deployment error:
Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8084 is already in use.
See the server log for details.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 34 seconds)

Mmm....give me a sec

Can you post your build.xml?

ok

This file i copied it from my folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\WebApplication1

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- You may freely edit this file. See commented blocks below for -->
<!-- some examples of how to customize the build. -->
<!-- (If you delete it and reopen the project it will be recreated.) -->
<project name="WebApplication1" default="default" basedir=".">
    <description>Builds, tests, and runs the project WebApplication1.</description>
    <import file="nbproject/build-impl.xml"/>
    <!--

    There exist several targets which are by default empty and which can be
    used for execution of your tasks. These targets are usually executed
    before and after some main targets. They are:

      -pre-init:                 called before initialization of project properties
      -post-init:                called after initialization of project properties
      -pre-compile:              called before javac compilation
      -post-compile:             called after javac compilation
      -pre-compile-single:       called before javac compilation of single file
      -post-compile-single:      called after javac compilation of single file
      -pre-compile-test:         called before javac compilation of JUnit tests
      -post-compile-test:        called after javac compilation of JUnit tests
      -pre-compile-test-single:  called before javac compilation of single JUnit test
      -post-compile-test-single: called after javac compilation of single JUunit test
      -pre-dist:                 called before jar building
      -post-dist:                called after jar building
      -post-clean:               called after cleaning build products
      -pre-run-deploy:           called before deploying
      -post-run-deploy:          called after deploying

    Example of pluging an obfuscator after the compilation could look like

        <target name="post-compile">
            <obfuscate>
                <fileset dir="${build.classes.dir}"/>
            </obfuscate>
        </target>

    For list of available properties check the imported
    nbproject/build-impl.xml file.


    Other way how to customize the build is by overriding existing main targets.
    The target of interest are:

      init-macrodef-javac:    defines macro for javac compilation
      init-macrodef-junit:   defines macro for junit execution
      init-macrodef-debug:    defines macro for class debugging
      do-dist:                jar archive building
      run:                    execution of project
      javadoc-build:          javadoc generation

    Example of overriding the target for project execution could look like

        <target name="run" depends="<PROJNAME>-impl.jar">
            <exec dir="bin" executable="launcher.exe">
                <arg file="${dist.jar}"/>
            </exec>
        </target>

    Notice that overridden target depends on jar target and not only on
    compile target as regular run target does. Again, for list of available
    properties which you can use check the target you are overriding in
    nbproject/build-impl.xml file.

    -->
</project>

Can you post nbproject/build-impl.xml as well as your build.xml is importing this file?

ok

This file i copied from folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Eric\WebApplication1\nbproject\build-impl.xml

Sorry,

Another one...

<import file="ant-deploy.xml"/>

Can you post your ant-deploy.xml? This may be the problem as it is error in deploying your app.

ok no problem. Thanks to give me a time.

Are there any .properties file in this folder?

one sec i check

genfiles.properties
project.properties

what are the contents of project.properties?

Any .url file?

I didnt find any of it but i will be search it in that folder Document and Settings.

Mm.....I never think that changing the embedded Tomcat inside NetBeans is rather difficult.

I may need to test it in another machine that has NetBeans. However, I may do it in the evening so I think that you have to wait for that.

Only Yahoo url files are there

ok thanks no problem i also want to go on bed as my girl is looking with very angry eyes.

>>"ok thanks no problem i also want to go on bed as my girl is looking with very angry eyes."
Watch out and enjoy :).

Hello,

I have checked my NetBeans 5.5.

Assuming that you use either WinXP or Win2000, try to find server.xml located in your Document and Setting folder. In my PC, it is in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.netbeans\5.5\apache-tomcat-5.5.17_base\conf

Find the line as
    <Connector URIEncoding="utf-8" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8084" redirectPort="8443"/>

As you can see, it is 8084 as the port. Try to change it to something else such as 8099. And try to run your project again.

Good luck

David

Thanks David i just did the changes and it works cheers. Second thing which i observe is i shut down the IDE and the tomcat is still running. I open the index.jsp file and did some changes and it shows the changes there. So just to know does the web server really works without loading the netbeans as i guess is every thing is in netbeans-5.5 bundle.

Basically i feel comfortable to open a notepad and start writting instead of using netbeans. If i can use the webserver without loading the IDE then its really great.

Ok thanks David.
