On checking 8080 port the output is

$ lsof -i:8080
$ lsof -i:80
COMMAND  PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
chrome  4683 gaurav  122u  IPv4 102461      0t0  TCP gaurav-VPCEA24FM.local:60146->stackoverflow.com:http (ESTABLISHED)
chrome  4683 gaurav  195u  IPv4  93101      0t0  TCP gaurav-VPCEA24FM.local:54759->stackoverflow.com:http (ESTABLISHED)

My Question

Why I am getting the error and how to get rid of this?

Answer 1

Tomcat was running on port 8080. It could be detected by typing localhost:8080 in the browser.

It is surprising that lsof -i:8080 could not detect it.
