Error with multiple Instances

[Steffen Bischoff]

Hi there,

I'have tried to install tomcat7 with multiple instances on the same server, but get an error when starting one of those.

Here is, what I have done:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/tomcat/Test/logs
sudo mkdir /srv/tomcat/Test/webapps
sudo mkdir /srv/tomcat/Test/work
sudo mkdir /srv/tomcat/Test/temp
sudo cp -R /var/lib/tomcat7/conf/ /srv/tomcat/Test

sudo cp /etc/default/tomcat7 /etc/default/Test
sudo cp /etc/init.d/tomcat7 /etc/init.d/Test
sudo update-rc.d Test defaults 92

sudo mkdir -p /srv/tomcat/Test2/logs
sudo mkdir /srv/tomcat/Test2/webapps
sudo mkdir /srv/tomcat/Test2/work
sudo mkdir /srv/tomcat/Test2/temp
sudo cp -R /var/lib/tomcat7/conf/ /srv/tomcat/Test2

sudo cp /etc/default/tomcat7 /etc/default/Test2
sudo cp /etc/init.d/tomcat7 /etc/init.d/Test2
sudo update-rc.d Test2 defaults 92

Then I changed the /etc/init.d/Test and /etc/init.d/Test2:

NAME=<INSTANCE>
DESC="Tomcat servlet engine for <INSTANCE>"
DEFAULT="/etc/default/<INSTANCE>"
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat7"
CATALINA_BASE="/srv/tomcat/<INSTANCE>"
CATALINA_PID="/var/run/<INSTANCE>.pid"

And at least I changed the ports in

/srv/tomcat/Test/conf/server.xml

to 8180 and in

/srv/tomcat/Test2/conf/server.xml

to 8280.

When I start Test2 with

/etc/init.d/Test2 start

it looks good, but after a few seconds there is this message in the log /srv/tomcat/Test2/logs/catalina.out:

Can someone give me a hint, how I can solve this problem?

Best regards
