Hi Manuel,
The bind exception indicates that Tomcat cannot use that port, as some other process is already listening on that port.
Open Task manager and ensure there are no already running java processes. If you check the properties for one that does exist, you may be able to see that it is an already running instance of the server. You can kill this.
Open command prompt and run: netstat /a
to verify that nothing is listening at the specified port. Hope this helps.
