tomcat cannot start on Linux

[vizlab]

Hi, all:
I installed Tomcat5.5.4 on my server hosted by dell.
But when I used lynx to access http://localhost:8080, it always
failed.
I checked the catalina.out file, it said

"SEVERE: Error initializing endpoint
java.net.BindException: Address already in use:8080
at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.initEndpoint(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:280)
at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.init(Http11Protocol.java:150)
at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector.initialize(CoyoteConnector.java:1117)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initialize(StandardService.java:579)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initialize(StandardServer.java:2246)
......
"

How can I make the address available?
Should I reboot the server?

Very appreciate any help.

Best

Some other process is listening on port 8080, you must either stop this
process from doing that, or configure Tomcat to use another port that is
not in use already.
