根据不同情况，笔者碰到过的有以下几种情况：
1. 运行tomcat的启动文件startup.bat，弹出黑窗口，直接闪退。
这种情况一般都是没有配置JAVA_HOME导致的，配置jdk如果没有使用JAVA_HOME的方式配置环境变量，就会出这种问题
2. 启动后，停留一段时间，打印一些日志，然后窗口关闭。
这种情况一般是端口号冲突了。
由于端口号只会支持一个程序运行，如果tomcat的默认端口号被其他程序占用，就会导致冲突。解决这种问题的手段分为两种，第一，关闭占用默认端口号的程序（不太建议），第二，修改tomcat使用的默认端口号。
关闭占用默认端口号的程序
如果选择结束掉占用了默认端口号的程序，如何查看是哪个程序占用了端口号呢？
在cmd命令输入netstat -aov
本地地址最右侧就是已经被使用的端口号，找到默认端口号8080，记下最右侧的数字（PID的值）
接着打开任务管理器，找到和PID值匹配的进程，将其关闭即可（默认情况下，任务管理器不会显示PID，需要手动开启PID显示）
修改tomcat使用的默认端口号
在TomCat文件目录下找到conf文件下的server.xml文件
修改上图的8080即可。
3. 运行tomcat后，tomcat很快就启动完成了，但是日志打印了一大堆严重。
这种情况，似乎是因为tomcat的权限不足导致的，需要提升tomcat的权限，只需要修改tomcat中的config文件夹的权限，将权限改成完全控制，如下图（要注意，一定要修改电脑当前登录用户下的权限，否则没用，在下图中的组或用户名中找到当前登录的用户。）
发一下，这种情况报的错误信息。
