I am getting the error "Address Already in Use" when starting tomcat

One of the possible reasons you get error "Address Already in Use" during tomcat startup is because there's another instance (which was not shutdown) running.

Do the following command:

ps -ux and you should see something  like:

your_username  24831     1  1 08:36 ?        00:00:48 /usr/local/java/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=

kill -9 24831

Try starting up tomcat again.
