When checking port 8080 output

 $ lsof -i:8080 $ lsof -i:80 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME chrome 4683 gaurav 122u IPv4 102461 0t0 TCP gaurav-VPCEA24FM.local:60146->stackoverflow.com:http (ESTABLISHED) chrome 4683 gaurav 195u IPv4 93101 0t0 TCP gaurav-VPCEA24FM.local:54759->stackoverflow.com:http (ESTABLISHED) 

My question

Why am I getting an error and how to get rid of this?

Answer 1

Tomcat was running on port 8080. It could be detected by typing localhost:8080 in the browser.

Surprisingly, lsof -i:8080 could not detect it.
