What Dimitris is saying is that you cannot run the 'default' or 'all' configuration (or in your case, the 'logviewer' configuration) twice to get your two instances; that will not work because the files will conflict. As an example, when I run two instances, I do the following: 1) I copy the 'server/default' (or 'server/all') directory twice, once as 'server/server1' and 'server/server2' 2) I then run the instances as: run -c server1 run -c server2 Since I have two different configuration directories, there are no file conflicts.
