I'm trying to automatically start and stop tomcat 8.0. I've got the stop to work. When I try and start it, it runs in the command line (but still shows Stopped as in the img below) and everything works fine but as soon as I close the window it shuts down. Does anyone know how I can start tomcat as I would by clicking on the Start button?

  • There is a log directory in `c:\program files\apache software foundation\Tomcat 8.0`, can you take a look at the file named `catalina.out` and post what's inside? –  Feb 17 '17 at 12:04

As it is installed as a service with name Tomcat8 this command should start it when called with admin rights.

net start Tomcat8
