Dave,

from the whole collection of recent messages, it very much looks to me as if you are effectively trying to run 2 Tomcats on this machine, and that they somehow conflict in terms of ports, maybe in terms of which applications they run, etc.. A while ago, you mentioned another server, for flash stuff. Are you sure that this program is itsef not based on Tomcat for example ? It may also be that you are trying to start the same Tomcat code twice, with different parameters (this is a technical possibility).

I don't know exactly what to tell you, but it seems that some things don't make sense otherwise. In any case, the Connectors that you have activated in the server.xml, do not seem to match the ports that are really open for listening.

Maybe you should have a look at the "ps" and "netstat" options on your system, and proceed calmly and one bit at a time to find out what is running and using which ports.
Something like :
- turn off Apache
- turn off Tomcat
- turn off the other application supposedly using port 8088
Then do a
netstat -pan | grep LISTEN
(or maybe with -o as Chuck mentioned)
and save the result (keeping only the tcp-related lines)

Then turn on Apache, and do the same netstat command, and compare the result. Any additional LISTEN port is probably Apache.
Save the result again.
- turn off Apache, and turn on the flash application
Do a netstat again and compare to the first one.
Etc...

When you have identified ports that really seem to belong to one or the other process consistently, then it is possible, with the appropriate options of netstat and ps, to find out which program is really running, that uses these ports.


The basic principle is this : it is not possible for two distinct processes (Tomcat, Apache, other app), to both have the same port open for listening (that's what the "grep LISTEN" is about above). The first one that opens the port "wins", and the second one trying to open the same port will get an error of the kind "cannot bind.. port already in use" (and that program will generally then refuse to even start)(but not necessarily; depending on the program, it may still run, in some cramped way; but Tomcat will probably not).

It may be that you installed Tomcat once, then de-installed it, then re-installed it in a new location but without removing first everything from the first one, etc.. or something of the kind. I don't now exactly what is going on, but something is at the moment not clear, and it makes it almost impossible to help you, because when you access a given URL on a given port, we don't even know what process is really answering (or not).
