I have installed tomcat 5.0.30 and binded to port 8080.
But whenever I started Tomcat , got the following error :

LifecycleException: Protocol handler start failed:java.net.BindException: Address already in use:JVM_Bind:8080

But no other process or program is not running that time.

Also when trying with url http://localhost:8080 , it asks for user id and password and after that displayes error page with message Unauthorised.

Plz need help.
