system process may be using the port. To start this server
you will need to stop the other process or change the port

Hi,

*Your question is not specific. First of all you have to
check with the "netstat" command to check whether that port
is used by some other process and make sure it is not listen
to any process.
*Also you can check with the "nmap localhost" command to
check it is used by any of tomcat instance.
*Then if you change the port number and restart the instance.
*Then check the tomcat process is running for the
particular instance. use the command "ps -ef | grep tomcat"
* If still it is not started, Eventough your instance shows
up with some PID, which means that your previous process
is not completely killed .

So The solution for this problem is " you have to Delete
the file tomcat.pid in your CATALINA_BASE/logs/ directory.
Now restart the server.

Your instance will work without any issue.
