Tomcat (for example, another copy of Tomcat might already be running on that machine).
There are 2 log files that Tomcat usually produces that can help you find out more. One is the TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.out file and the other is the TOMCAT_HOME/logs/localhost log file (its exact name varies). The localhost log usually shows errors that happen during the early startup and catalina.out shows errors once the majors tomcat subsystems are up and running and Tomcat starts and runs the webapps.
For us to be able to tell you what's wrong, we need to see what those files look like.
I checked my log file but there was nothing on that date and I got this below.

The Tomcat server configuration at \Servers\Tomcat v8.5 Server at localhost-config is missing. Check the server for errors.
What is causing the log to be missing ?
