Deployment error:Starting of Tomcat failed, the server port 8080 is already in use

goto command prompt

netstat -aon

for linux

netstat -tulpn | grep 'your_port_number'

it will show you something like

 TCP    192.1.200.48:2053      24.43.246.60:443       ESTABLISHED     248

check which process has binded your port. here in above example its 248 now if you are sure that you need to kill that process fire

Linux:

kill -9 248

Windows:

taskkill /f /pid 248

it will kill that process
