XAMPP Tomcat Not Stopping

I have XAMPP installed on my Windows machine, I am unable to stop the Tomcat server.

I have tried to kill the process with the Process Id as well, But weirdly it's not showing in the Task Manager nor the local Services, Which I referred from here - apache service not stopping in xampp

Here's my XAMPP Control Panel screenshot - enter image description here

Here's the Task Manager, I can't find the Process ID 3104 as shown in the XAMPP Control Panel-

enter image description here

I did run the command "Services.msc" to find and stop it but, no luck there either.

On Windows: XAMPP opens a shell(CMD) on starting tomcat just close that shell.

You should check the PID and verify that it is not associated with any other service/process mistaken for Tomcat by XAMPP.

In my case I had Jenkins running on port 8080 and starting XAMPP it was "guessing" that Tomcat was already running:

Tomcat detected as already running

In reality, looking at the PID (198092 in my case) it was associated with java.exe:

java.exe

and this was a process generated by my Jenkins server running on that port:

Jenkins On

This is why you cannot stop Tomcat from there... (it is not Tomcat running on 8080).

To verify this and properly start Tomcat you can try this:

Stopping Jenkins:

Jenkins Off

Will remove the service running on 8080 and XAMPP is able to correctly detect that Tomcat is not running:

Tomcat not running

At this point you can Start Tomcat in XAMPP (and it should start for real this time):

Tomcat running

Going to the localhost page, port 8080 you will have a proof of it:

Tomcat Page

If you want you can now successfully stop it from XAMPP:

Tomcat Stop
