If you have used this method to install openmrs Setting of OpenMRS development environment and getting started up then this trouble shooting might be required. 

In my case:

1. mvn clean install: It ran perfectly fine.
2. sudo mvn jetty:run: It didn't and the stack trace for the same is: http://pastebin.com/GgZXQRWh

This stack trace means that there is some process running on localhost:8080/ , in my case it was the tomcat server which I installed while setting up openmrs.

There is a useful post here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4071817/how-to-shutdown-tomcat-in-ubuntu 

1. ps aux | grep java
2. Note down the process id of tomcat server running on localhost:8080/ and use the command: sudo kill -9 pid (where pid is noted from step 1).

Now reboot the system and try running openmrs in the normal way. It wll work this time. 

Happy Contributing.
