if you are on a linux box, try : ps -ef | grep tomcat if any process are shown, try to shut it down (shutdown.sh), if it doesn't work, try to kill the parent process.

When I try to start Tomcat I get the following (See below. Only providing first few lines of trace). When I try file://localhost/examples I can execute the servlets, but not the JSPs. On the JSPs I always get HTTP Status 500 messages. I've followed the recommendations to recheck the classpaths and environment variables (JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME), but this hasn't helped. For one thing I don't understand why port 8080 is already in use.
