Apache Tomcat run on port 80 on Mac Lion. It says the port are used?

Question

I need to have a homepage running on my Mac that external users can use. I thought the easiest way, was to make Apache Tomcat running on port 80. But when i try it says that the port are in use.

I can't see anything that are using port 80.

What to do???

Are you starting it up using " sudo catalina.sh start " ? – mahnsc Oct 25 '11 at 12:06 — mahnsc, Oct 25 '11 at 12:06

Since Tomcat is listening on port 80, you need to start it up using sudo. For example: sudo catalina.sh start

(I already answered this in the comment above but figured I should submit an answer for completeness)

OSX comes with a built-in Apache, which is probably enabled.

Got to "system preferences"->"sharing"->"file & web"->"Web sharing"

Make sure web sharing is disabled.

Web sharing are OFF.. THis does not support Java/JSP/Servlet so i need to make my own. – boje Oct 25 '11 at 10:09
What's the output of this command "lsof -i :80"? It's possible you have to run this as root (sudo). – Jeroen Jacobs Oct 25 '11 at 11:54
