  1. i have problem installing tomcat when i want ru n the tomcat i getting error messages like
    java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind:8081 and INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin;.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin; please help me i trobling a lot ,

  2. If you will try starting the tomcat or any server without stoping it, it will give the JVM Bind error as the port (here 8081) is already is in use and you are trying to start another service on the same port.

    You need to stop the tomcat instance which is in running state and then start again.This will fix this.

    All the best,
