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.
