Cause

Another application or service is already accessing port 8080. On Windows, it could be a service installed on some Dell servers. The service name is 'dellw3j' and it uses port 8007.

Solution or Workaround

1. Stop the service that is using port 8080.
   
   

   Note:
   See Related Information to download fport v1.33. This program reports all open TCP/IP and UDP ports and maps them to the owning application. 

   
   
2. Rerun startup.bat.
