Error initializing end point

Question

Hi to everybody,
I just installed tomcat 4.1 and j2se1.4.2 and everithing seems to work perfectly but rebooting the system and triing to run tomcat it returns this error:
"error initializing enpoint
java.net.BindException:Address already in use: JVM_bind:80
Changing server.xml (from 80 to 8080) in the following statement
============================================================
<!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8081 -->
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
port="80" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
useURIValidationHack="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
<!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
to 0 -->
=============================================================
it work but rebooting again the same error appear and again changing from 8080 to 80 in server.xml the problem disappear since next reboot.
what is wrong? How to avoid to change the file server.xml every time I reboot?
many thanks
Davide

My point still stands - the error you are getting (java.net.BindException:Address already in use: JVM_bind:80) is saying something else has already bound port 80 when starting Tomcat.
Maybe you are running Tomcat more than once or you have another web server installed? Try going to http://localhost in your browser to see what is running there when you get the error.
