Tomcat 9.0.16 : Failed to initialize component [Connector[HTTP/1.1-8080]]

Question

Recently I have downloaded JDK 11.0.2 & Tomcat 9.0.16 and set the environment variables, but whenever I am starting the tomcat it is showing the following exception in the console and http://localhost:8080/ is not accessible. Please help.

I also tried with different connector ports but did not worked, but when i tried same thing with same configuration in another machine it worked without exception and localhost was accessible. Is there any problem with my machine.

Answer 1

This mistake means that your port is busy.

1. Stop Tomcat
   
2. Change the port number
   
3. Restart your app
