in 8080 port, some other application is running. kill that first. otherwise try to restart the system — Visme, Oct 30 '14 at 09:38

You have to stop other app listening 8080 port, or use a different port. Like 8081:

grails -Dserver.port=8081 run-app

Also you could configure Grails to always use 8081 port by adding into grails-app/conf/Config.groovy following line:

grails.server.port.http=8081
