You can also reboot to stop the processes, though that&amp;#39;s a last resort (as it always is on Windows &lt;img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/happy.gif" &gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, if localhost doesn&amp;#39;t work, you may have a networking issue, so you can try http://127.0.0.1:8080 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, although there is a &amp;#34;Server startup in NNN seconds&amp;#34; is at the end, there may have been an error earlier in the process. IF possible, please attach the full file (from tomcat-xx.xx.xx/logs/catalina.out file) or look through the entire file to see if there were any other errors.</summary>
