I cannot answer your "why" question, because, I am not one of the developers
of apache or tomcat. But here is the answer to your "how" question:
*To stop and start your tomcat:
cd /usr/local/tomcat
bin/shutdown.sh
bin/startup.sh
*Exit from tomcat and go to your apache server:
su
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
exit
* Another way of stopping and starting apache:
bin/apachectl stop
bin/apachectl start
