Tomcat error in eclipse

Question

I have a problem with eclipse that says the ports are already in use (80, 8009), When I change the ports I receive an error: Tomcat v6 at localhost failed to start.

When I debug Tomcat I receive this error:

By default, Tomcat is using two ports: one for HTTP connector and one as "Server" port. If you open tomcat/conf/server.xml, you will see these ports defined:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
  <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
  ...
  <Service name="Catalina">
    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" ...
    ...
    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" ...
  </Service>
</Server>

As you can see, port 8009 is used for AJP connector and 8080 for HTTP connector.

You need to ensure none of these three ports are being used by your system (another Tomcat or just another application) and if they are, you need to change these values to something else.

download TCP view sw from the following link and unzip it. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx. see in the localport column is there any process worked in 8080 port . right click and end the process. then try to start the TomCat server. its really worked for me..
