This is because when you are trying to load the second instance of Tomcat it is using
the
same server.xml file. As a result when the second instance starts it has an error
because
the first one has already bound the ports it uses (8080, 8007, 8009, etc) so they are
unavaible to the second instance. You need a second server.xml file for the second
instance and refer to it as an argument when starting the second instance.
