Jira and Apache Tomcat

[s_jessa]

I want to download Jira but I already have Apache Tomcat installed that is using port 8080

I deleted Tomcat but still can not get Jira on localhost8080

what do I need to do?

I would have changed the port of one of the Tomcats.  Look for "server.xml" in the "conf" directory and find the line that says 8080 and edit it.

That said, you say you deleted your old Tomcat.  Did you stop it and uninstall as per instructions, or just delete the files?

When you're starting up Jira, that should throw errors if there are port conflicts.  I would try to start clean - stop Jira, check that there is definitely nothing running for it (check task manager if you're on Windows, or a simple "ps -ef | grep -i jira" if you're on a unix-like machine), then start it again and look at the error messages, either on screen, or in the application logs.  A conflicting port will quickly stop it with an error including the port number.
