The result of netstat is [root@deafeng3 tomcat5]# netstat -an | grep '8080' tcp 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN If I understand the above correctly, something is indeed listening on port 8080...but what? That looks like an IPv6 type listener, but I don't know IPv6 well. I also grepped on '80' to list processes running on any 80xx port. See the bug report. Any suggestions? Clearly, I started some process that is interfering with tomcat5. Bob
