XAMPP：tomcat不从控制面板启动，仅从bat启动

Question

I installed XAMPP and have trouble starting tomcat. Apache, MySQL, FileZilla start without problems when I click the "Start" button, while Tomcat writes Attempting to start Tomcat service... and seems to pass out - it doesn't start no matter how long I wait for it.

I can start it manually from catalina_start.bat though. But I really wish to find out what causes this problem and be able to start tomcat from control panel. Please help!

I think that problem is about port conflict, by default both Apache and Tomcat using port 8080, when you using XAMPP and start Apache first then Apache hold that port then you can not start Tomcat, you can start Tomcat via bat file my be because you already stopped the Apache. Also by default when you click on Start button of Tomcat on XAMPP, it will call to catalina_start.bat file.
