in later directory when I run the servlet with help of eclipse it run and show output but in d:/jagdeep directory it always throw an error that tomcat can not be started as the port 8080,8005,8009 is being used by other application.
Can anyone help me to resolve this?

just check if your port is already occupied. one way to do is try accessing via your browser localhost:8080 or 8005 or 8009. If you still get this error, go and change the port numbers in your tomcat/conf/server.xml and try once again.

If you're running Tomcat from within Eclipse as you seem to say here,
you modify the port settings by double-clicking this Tomcat in the
Servers view of the Eclipse workbench.

Thanks for replying,
Yes I am using Tomcat through eclipse.
But at the same time I am able to run in the another folder why it is so?
and If I have to change the port number then what new port number should I give?

You may use just about any port number. Right now, I'm using 8005/8000/8009.
