I'm seeing a strange error message. We only run Tomcat as a service on Windows 2000, and no IIS or anything else, so I can't see anything else holding onto port 80. Any idea what would be causing this? Would it be something as simple as choosing to Start or Restart the service when it's already started and Tomcat isn't releasing hold of port 80 as it stops and restarts? I'm seeing this in a production environment, and the website is not coming back up, so it ain't pretty over here!

If you connect to port 80 with a browser when this happens what do you get? Tomcat and Java are really not doing anything interesting in this case. They create a ServerSocket bound to port 80. If the O/S says it's in use then there isn't anything that can be done about it.

Windows has a netstat command - run "netstat -na" when you're seeing this problem to see if there is another process LISTENING on port 80.

Ok, I'll try to remember that if we see this again. We went through lots and lots of restarts and even rebooted the database server, and although everything is better now (meaning we can't recreate the error message above), we're still unsure of what happened.

I read a post somewhere in which a suggestion was made that if the JVM process didn't get killed then port 80 might still be tied up by the previous still-closing instance of Tomcat or something like that, but I guess when you start running into stuff like that, things get very murky...
