View Full Version : Tomcat + XP = Phantom Bind ?

Fellow Laszlites,

I have noticed that once I downloaded Laszlo and
restarted my XP machine, Tomcat is only able to
bind 8080 if I first run the "Stop Laszlo" script.

What make this interesting, is that

1) I do not have anything on 8080.
[I can't telnet localhost 8080]

2) An independtly downloaded instance
of Tomcat suffers from the same
problem, namely, it cannot bind
8080 unless I run "Stop Laszlo"
despite the fact that they have
completely separate HOMEs etc.

3) I wrote a simple Python script
subclassing BaseHTTPServer and
it happily binds 8080...

So, this looks like a Tomcat specific pathology...
Any ideas?

Manor.
