epyonne, It is not sqlPlus that uses 8080. xmldb is a new thing they came up with for 9i. It takes 8080. Technically, it is sql*net rather than SQL*Plus and it should be using 1521 by default. If you have also installed Oracle's application server, it may also present a conflict.
For me, it was easiest to change the tomcat port, but if not needed, these other products should be disabled or removed for security & maintenance reasons.

Port 8080 is the default port for many different application. Oracle HTTP server is one of them. Therefore, it is not a good idea to use the default 8080 for your Tomcat installation. You can always change it in the server.xml file yourself. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 08:26 AM Subject: SQLPLUS and TOMCAT conflict? > Hi All, > > I earlier did install Tomcat 5.0 but soon found out that i > wasnt able to work with SQL PLUS.
