It means what it says. There is already an application bound to port 8080,
so the server can't use that port.

Maybe you somehow started exist already. or you have another app altogether
which is using that port. Do you have some sort of proxy server operating on
your local machine, e.g. a web "anonomizer"?

If you still can't figure out what is occupying the port, you should be able
to use netstat in a console window to find out. I can't offer any more
details of how to do that, because I don't use Windows at that level, and
its version of netstat is different from the ones I am used to.
