lsof -i :8080

This will provide you with PIDs, process names and owners.

This helped solve the issue. Jetty was running on port 8080. Why?
Because I had installed the eclipse-platform package, and it has a
dependency on jetty. Unfortunately, both tomcat5 and jetty listen on the
same ports by default. Jetty will start up before tomcat5 does so it
guarantees tomcat5 will break. I was advised to uncomment the
CONNECTOR_PORT line in /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf and change that to a
different port number. I did so and selected port 8081. Restarted
tomcat5, but the splash screen I was expecting on
http://localhost:8081/
didn't show up. (Yes I have the tomcat5-webapps package installed.) Then
I changed the Connector port in /etc/tomcat5/server.xml from 8080 to
8081, restarted tomcat5, visited
http://localhost:8081/ and saw the
splash screen at last. Details are in bug 431808:
