How can a site be up but in IIS shows it stopped?

Have I lost my mind? Vendor installed a web application on our windows 2013 R2 server, a DEV server. I can open the web site in my browser. I remote into the server, in the Server Manager, I see the IP and that's the same as the web site url ip when I ping it. I open the IIS and it shows only one default site with a Stopped status. The root node shows the server name with my credential in parentheses.

Is this because I don't have proper permission? I check my user account and it shows as local administrator. I checked under the C drive Inetput and WWWRoot folder and there is nothing showing at all.

Thank you

That makes a lot of sense that it's not IIS. I looked under Program and Feature and I don't see TomCat installed. Wouldn't it show if another web server is installed? I can't even find command window to enter netstat -abo. I did try it in the Power Shell dialog but it says needs to be elevated. I'm a local admin so I don't know what that means.
Thank you.

Ha! I just found Apache 2.4 and Apache Host Helper. Awesome! That's the problem when I've been a MS developer for so long I forgot there other other major players, lol.... I really thought I was losing my head there for a while.

Thank you everyone.
