ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed when starting Tomcat 7 in debug mode

Question

I have installed tomcat 7.0.68 on windows7-64bit machine.

If I run catalina.bat jpda start , it just opens and closes and no logs are generated.

If I run catalina.bat jpda run I get below error

Try killing the processes with a single line command -

pkill -9 -f tomcat
