Something's already listening on port 8080 at a guess. Have you got
Tomcat installed?

[root at stella .vnc]# service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 2180:wmcdonald A VNC server is already running as :2180
                                                           [FAILED]
[root at stella .vnc]# netstat -lnp | grep 8080
tcp        0      0 :::8080                     :::*
     LISTEN      3349/java
[root at stella .vnc]#
